*The standard processing time for obtaining an Apostille varies depending on the state where your company is registered. Expedited processing is available in most states for an additional fee. For more information, please contact our team.

An Apostille is a certification used to authenticate documents for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the legitimacy of signatures, seals, and stamps on official documents, making them legally recognized in other countries.

We offer fast Apostille services for U.S. corporate documents issued from all 50 states. Due to the unique requirements of each state, we recommend sending either the original document or a certified copy issued by the Secretary of State to our office. Before mailing your documents, please contact our team to ensure they are eligible for apostillization.

If the country requesting your U.S. corporate documents is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, your documents may require additional authentication through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., followed by legalization at the relevant Embassy or Consulate. Our team is equipped to efficiently manage your authentication and legalization needs.

Apostilles can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the Apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Avoid the risk of having your documents rejected, which can result in lost time and money.
