Personal Document Apostille & Authentication Services
Using U.S. personal documents abroad, whether for immigration, employment, marriage, or legal matters, requires official verification before foreign authorities will accept them.
Depending on your document type and destination country, the process can involve local notarization, county clerks, State Secretaries, the U.S. Department of State, and foreign embassies. We handle every step for you, ensuring your documents are certified correctly the first time.
Understanding the Apostille or Authentication Process
1. Document Issuance & Notarization
-
Standard Documents: Powers of attorney, affidavits, and diplomas must first be notarized by a licensed Notary Public to verify identity and signature authenticity.
-
Vital & Court Records: Birth, marriage, death certificates, and court judgments cannot be notarized. They must be official certified copies issued directly by the governing state or county agency.
-
Foreign Language Documents: Documents not written in English must include a certified or notarized English translation.
2. Apostille or Authentication (Based on Destination)
The authentication path depends on whether your destination country belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention:
-
For Hague Convention Countries (Apostille):
-
State & Local Documents: Certified directly by the Secretary of State where the document was issued.
-
Federal Documents: Certified by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
-
-
For Non-Hague Countries (Multi-Step Legalization):
-
Requires a sequential, multi-agency pipeline involving the Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State (if applicable), and final Embassy/Consulate Legalization.
-
Special Note for Federal Court Records: Documents issued by U.S. District Courts require additional certification from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) before submission to the U.S. Department of State.
