Question 1

What Is An Apostille?

Accepted Answer

An Apostille authenticates a U.S. document, like a birth certificate, so that you may use it in another country. For example, a birth certificate may not be accepted for use in a foreign country without an Apostille. The same applies to notarized documents, marriage/divorce certificates, death certificates, and many other U.S. documents. The Apostille certificate will outline the details of the authenticated document. Here you can see what a California apostille looks like. Other state Apostilles look slightly different:

Question 2

Can I Apostille my FBI report?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you absolutely can. That is done on the Federal level rather than the state level, and we can assist in that process as well.

Question 3

Why do I need an apostille?

Accepted Answer

An apostille is required when presenting U.S documents in a foreign country. Foreign countries do not know how certifications are done in the U.S, so they need the apostille to let them know that it was done properly.

Question 4

How do I apostille my driver’s license or passport?

Accepted Answer

While your physical driver's license or passport cannot be apostilled directly, you can photocopy it and get it notarized. The notarization would then be apostilled. For the notary to notarize it, you would also need to make a sworn statement referencing the photocopy.

Question 5

Can I use your service if I live out of state or in another country?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use our service regardless of your location. Simply ship your documents to us. We will have them Apostilled and shipped to wherever you tell us.

Question 6

How long does it take to get an apostille through our service?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

What countries can I use an apostille in?

Accepted Answer

Apostilles can be used in the countries part of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. For countries not part of the convention, authentications are used. Click here to see a list of all the countries.

Question 8

What are authentications, and how do I get one?

Accepted Answer

Authentications are similar to apostilles as they are certificates for documents to use internationally. The difference is that authentications are for countries not part of the Hauge Convention. The process to get one is the same as acquiring an apostille, and we would be happy to assist you through the process.

Question 9

How are notarizations and apostilles related?

Accepted Answer

A notarization verifies that the signer proved their identity and signed the paperwork. An apostille verifies that the notary is commissioned and that the notary performed the notarization in compliance with their state's laws.

Question 10

What information is needed to start the apostille process?

Accepted Answer

We only need the original document with the original signature. Some corporate documents can be apostilled with photocopies if they were issued directly by the Secretary of State.

Question 11

Do you provide translation services for documents in other languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we can assist with translations.

Question 12

Can I track the status of my apostille request?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide tracking information once your documents have been apostilled and shipped.

Question 13

Is there an expiration date for an apostille?

Accepted Answer

Apostilles do not expire. Once issued, they remain valid for use in the designated foreign country. However, some countries want Apostilles issued within a certain time frame.

Question 14

What if my document is rejected for apostille?

Accepted Answer

We carefully review documents before submission to minimize the risk of rejection. If rejection occurs, we will guide you on the necessary steps to rectify the issue. We will not charge for a resubmission if we approve your document and it is rejected.

Question 15

Can I apostille a copy of my document, or does it have to be the original?

Accepted Answer

Generally, only original documents are eligible for apostille. Corporate documents that are issued by the Secretary of State, such as a Certificate of Status, can be apostilled with a copy. If you get a copy notarized, it can also be apostilled, but the notarization must be original.

Question 16

Can I apostille a document for someone else?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can act on behalf of someone else to get their document apostilled.
