Our ‘True Copy’
Apostille process
- Once we have received a digital copy of your document, we will review your document(s) and begin processing your order.
- All document submissions are printed in high-definition full color to maintain the integrity of the image.
- We will then attach a custodial certificate to the printed scanned copy of the document provided. The legitimacy and accuracy of the documents submitted is the sole responsibility of the document custodian. This certificate does not confirm the authenticity of the document being apostilled. Verification of the validity of the documents is the responsibility of the authority you are presenting the documents to.
- The certificate is then notarized in order to obtain the Apostille from the corresponding Secretary of State office.
- Upon completion, we will ship the fully executed Apostille based on the shipping method selected. Your email address will be included on tracking notifications.

Apostilles are processed within 1-2 business days upon submission of your order. We ship documents immediately upon completion of the Apostilles.

What is the Hague Convention of October 1961? What is a Hague Apostille?
The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents, the Apostille Convention, or the Apostille Treaty, is an international treaty drafted by the Hague Conference on Private International Law. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory states. A certification under the terms of the convention is called an Apostille (from Latin post itla and then French: a marginal note) or Hague apostille. It is an international certification comparable to a notarization in domestic law, and normally supplements a local notarization of the document. If the convention applies between two countries, such an apostille is sufficient to certify a document’s validity, and removes the need for double-certification, by the originating country and then by the receiving country.

What is an Apostille?
NOUN – Origin French
(ă pŏs tēēl’)
Apostilles are affixed to documents for foreign use by Competent Authorities designated by the government of a state which is party to the 1961 Hague Convention, abolishing the requirement for legalization for foreign public documents. To be eligible for an Apostille, a document must first be issued or certified by an officer recognized by the authority that will issue the Apostille, such as a Notary Public or Public Official. An Apostille certifies the document for use in foreign countries, provided that both are signatories to the Hague convention.
If the county you are sending your documents to is not party to the Hague Convention, then in addition to obtaining Authentication at the State Level documents you may also need Embassy/Consulate Legalization and sometimes Department of State Authentication.
