Before You Contact Us
These answers cover several common starting points for apostille, authentication, and legalization requests.
The destination country determines the process. Hague Convention destinations generally use apostilles, while other destinations may require authentication and embassy or consulate legalization.
Assistance may be available for documents issued by other states and federal agencies. The correct issuing authority must generally authenticate the document.
Requirements vary by document type. Vital records and court records often require certified copies, while notarized personal or business documents follow different rules.
Timing depends on the issuing authority, destination country, service level, and whether translation or legalization is also required.
Contact the office first to confirm availability. Some locations or services may require an appointment before document drop-off or consultation.
Mail-in processing may be available. Confirm the approved receiving address and document requirements before shipping original or certified documents.
