Apostille & Authentication · For Overseas Use
Get Your U.S. Documents Accepted Abroad
Foreign banks, registries and authorities usually will not accept a plain U.S. document. An apostille or authentication is the certification that makes it recognised overseas. We handle the process.
- Correct route identified first
- Certified copies obtained where needed
- Submitted to the right authority
- Courier tracking to you

Why It Matters
Why Apostille Matters
An apostille certifies a document so another country will recognise it. Which route applies — apostille or full authentication — depends on the destination country and the document. Getting that wrong wastes weeks.

Common Mistakes We See
Apostilling the wrong document
Often a certified copy is needed first. Sending a plain printout gets it rejected at the counter.
Assuming apostille works everywhere
Not every country accepts apostilles. Some require a fuller authentication chain.
Forgetting translation
An apostille certifies origin, not language. Many destinations also want a translation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an apostille?
A certification that makes a U.S. public document recognisable in another country. It confirms the document’s origin so a foreign authority will accept it.
Apostille or authentication — which do I need?
It depends on the destination country and its treaty position. Some countries accept apostilles; others require a fuller authentication chain. We confirm before starting.
Do I need certified copies first?
Usually yes. Apostilles generally attach to properly certified documents rather than to something you printed yourself.
Do I need a translation too?
Often. An apostille certifies where a document came from, not what language it is in. Many destinations also require a certified translation, which is separate.
How long does it take?
It depends on the state, whether federal authentication is needed, and courier times. Some are days, some are weeks. We set expectations up front.
Are government fees included?
No. Our fee starts at $150. Apostille fees and courier costs are charged separately at cost.
