Apostille Services for Any U.S. Document

An apostille certifies that a U.S. public document is genuine so it will be accepted in another country that belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention. It is attached to your document by a government authority: the U.S. Department of State for federal documents, or a state Secretary of State for state documents.

FBI background checks, federal documents like naturalization certificates, certificates of citizenship, DD-214s, IRS Form 6166, Social Security letters, and FDA certificates, and state vital records like birth, marriage, death, and divorce certificates from all 50 states.

Federal documents are processed at the Department of State in 7 to 10 business days because we walk them in personally, instead of the 5 to 12 weeks the mail-in process takes, then shipped back to you with 2-day return shipping included. State vital records depend on the state, and we show the exact turnaround for your document and state as you order.

Federal documents are $120 for the first and $95 for each additional. State vital records start at $175, always expedited. Return shipping is included in the price.

Yes. Anyone anywhere in the world can use us as long as we can obtain the U.S. document. We ship internationally, and you can enter an overseas return address at checkout.

Apostilles are accepted by every country in the Hague Apostille Convention, which is most of the world. For the few countries that are not members, the document needs embassy legalization instead. Contact us and we will tell you which path your country needs.
