NEED A DOCUMENT APOSTILLED OR LEGALIZED FAST?
It’s ok to have questions…
We have the answers. Here are a few of the most frequently asked questions that we get concerning Apostille and Legalization.
What is the difference between an Apostille and Legalization?
An apostille is used for Hague Convention countries. Legalization is required for countries that are not part of the Convention and usually involves additional embassy steps.
Can you help with apostille for documents outside of Texas?
Yes. We process documents from all U.S. states, but additional courier and state fees may apply.
How long does the apostille process take?
Standard processing is 7–10 business days. Expedited options are available depending on the document and jurisdiction.
What documents require notarization before apostille?
Most personal and business documents (like power of attorney or affidavits) must be notarized first. We offer mobile notarization if needed.
Can you Apostille federal documents like FBI background checks?
Yes. Federal documents are apostilled through the U.S. Department of State and take longer (10–15+ business days).
Do you offer translations for foreign use?
Yes, we can provide certified translations as an add-on service.
Do I need to be in Texas to use your service?
Not at all! We assist clients nationwide and internationally. Just ship us your documents or request a courier pickup (if local).
How do I know if my destination country requires an apostille or legalization?
We’ll confirm for you. Just tell us your destination country—we’ll take care of the compliance.
Is this the same as getting a document notarized?
No. Notarization is the first step. An apostille certifies the notarization or issuing agency for international recognition.
