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.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 

WHICH TYPES OF DOCUMENTS DO YOU APOSTILLE?

We can process ANY copy of an original document. Oftentimes, the receiving parties where you will be using your Apostilles do not require the original documents. Providing an Apostille on a ‘true copy’ of your document is a convenient way to get your documents certified for use in a foreign country that is both fast and cost effective.

How long does the Apostille process take?

Apostilles are processed within 1-2 business days upon submission of your order. We ship documents immediately upon completion of the Apostilles. Your documents will ship FREE Priority USPS trackable mail. You can upgrade shipping services to receive your Apostilles faster with FedEx Overnight Priority and receive your Apostille(s) in 24-48 hours or Priority International through DHL that takes 3-5 business days for shipping on average.

How much does it cost?

There are no hidden fees. We charge a flat rate of $150 per Apostille. This includes all notary and government/state agency fees. Shipping is FREE anywhere in the United States via USPS Priority Mail, an additional $30 for next day delivery with Priority Overnight, or $65 for Priority International.

I submitted an order, what happens next?

Your order is in process once it is submitted. Apostilles are processed same day or next day depending on when your order is submitted. Your document(s) are then Apostilled within 24-48 hours upon order submission. You will then be added to all shipment tracking notifications, so that you can follow your document to its end destination.

Can you process documents in a foreign language?

Yes, we can! We can process any document, in any language. Still, it would helpful us to include a description of your document to make the Apostille process easier and as accurate as possible.

Can you process ‘Original’ documents?

Yes, we offer those services as well. Please visit us at expressapostilleservices.com for more information.

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.
