NATIONAL 49 APOSTILLE SERVICE

Vital records, notarized, and state issued documents require authentication to be used in foreign countries. An apostille, or authentication, for these documents must be issued by the Competent Authority of the State in which they are issued or notarized. We work directly with the issuing authority of apostilles for every State to make the process easy and convenient. 

​

Processing time vary by State. This is determined by the State where your document was issued or notarized in. We will advise you of the expected processing time when your documents are submitted to us. Before mailing your documents to us, our Authentication Specialists will check for proper notarization and issuance of vital records. It is recommended that all vital records submitted to us for service have been issued within the last 5 years.  Some States require a Letter of Exemplification accompany a vital record. The Letter of Exemplification must be requested when ordering the vital record requiring an apostille certificate.
