Frequently Asked Questions

What is an apostille and how does U.S. processing work?

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document so it can be recognized in another country. In the U.S., documents are first certified at the state or federal level (the Secretary of State or U.S. Department of State), which confirms the signature and seal are genuine. Once apostilled, your document is automatically accepted in all 120+ countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention โ€” no embassy visit needed.

What is the difference between an apostille and a legalization (authentication)?

An apostille is used when the destination country is part of the Hague Apostille Convention โ€” a single certificate is all you need. Legalization (also called authentication) is required for countries that are not part of the Convention, and it involves additional steps: state and federal certification followed by authentication at that countryโ€™s embassy or consulate. We determine which path your document needs based on where it will be used.

How do I know whether I need an apostille or a legalization?

It depends entirely on the country where your document will be used. If that country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you need an apostille. If not, you need full legalization through the embassy or consulate. When you request a quote, just tell us the destination country and document type โ€” weโ€™ll confirm exactly whatโ€™s required.

What does it cost?

Apostilles typically run $150โ€“$200 per document and legalizations $250โ€“$500 per document, depending on the issuing state, the destination country, and any embassy fees. Rush processing is available for an additional fee. We provide a clear, upfront quote with no hidden fees before any work begins.

Can the entire process be done online?

Yes. You can start your request online, and we coordinate the entire process on your behalf. For documents that require the original (such as some certificates and records), weโ€™ll let you know when and where to mail them as part of your confirmation step.

How long does processing take?

Standard timelines vary by state and destination country, typically ranging from a few days to a few weeks. Embassy legalizations take longer than apostilles because of the additional steps involved. If youโ€™re on a deadline, our rush option can significantly speed things up โ€” ask for an expedited quote.

Do you serve all U.S. states?

Yes. No matter which state your documents were issued in, weโ€™ve got you covered โ€” all 50 states plus Washington, D.C. We handle documents that require federal-level authentication through the U.S. Department of State as well.

What happens if a document is rejected?

Rejections are rare because we review requirements before submitting. If an authority does reject a document, weโ€™ll review the reason, help you make the necessary corrections, guide you through next steps, and resubmit โ€” so your document gets across the finish line.
