Apostille Services - Handled with Care

The core of our service is ensuring your documents are processed efficiently and meet all necessary requirements.  Here's what we do:

1. Verification of document type, destination country and issuing state: It all begins with confirming that your documents qualify for State or Federal Apostille, or Legalization if being submitted to a non-Hague convention member.  If a Non-Hague member, a consulate or multi-step embassy process would be adhered.
2. Notarization Services: If required, we provide notarization to certify the signatures on your documents before proceeding to the next step. 
3. Obtaining Apostille Certification: T We handle proper submission of your documents to the correct authority based on international requirements. This includes state apostilles through the appropriate Secretary of State, federal apostilles through the U.S. Department of State, and full embassy or consulate legalization for countries not part of the Hague Convention. .
4. Expert Guidance and Communication: We'll keep you informed at every stage of the process, answering any questions you may have and ensuring clarity along the way.
5. Final Delivery: Once completed, documents are returned to the client through local hand delivery or trackable shipping, with direct international shipment available upon request (additional shipping fees apply). .
6. Certified Translation:   When required by the receiving country, certified translation is coordinated so your completed document packet is ready for use.
