Questions
Before you get started.
What's the difference between an apostille and legalization?
An apostille is used between countries in the Hague Convention, and one certificate is enough. Countries outside the convention need multi-step legalization through the state, the U.S. Department of State, and the destination country's embassy or consulate. We handle both.
Do you need my original document, or will a scan work?
It depends on the record. FBI background checks can often be processed from electronic copies. Birth records, court decrees, and corporate certificates may need originals or certified copies. We confirm this when you start your request.
How long does it take?
Processing is typically 24 to 48 hours, and same-day state submission is available. Federal documents and embassy legalization take longer because they pass through more offices. Tell us your deadline and we'll give you a realistic timeline.
What if the Secretary of State rejects my document?
Our pre-submission audit is designed to catch problems first. If a rejection comes from a faulty state notary setup, we notify you and coordinate a corrected rewrite at no extra administrative charge.
I have documents from more than one state. Can you help?
Yes. Each document is routed through its correct state or federal process under one order.
I live outside the U.S. Can you still do this?
Yes. Many of our clients are overseas. We work by phone, WhatsApp, and email, and ship completed documents internationally with tracking.
Does an apostille expire?
Apostilles generally don't expire, but many receiving authorities want documents issued or authenticated within the last six to twelve months. We'll tell you if your document is likely too old.
