Choose Your Document

Every state-issued vital record, apostilled for international use.

The Document Must Be Apostilled by the State That Issued It

This trips up most people. If you were born in Texas but live in California, your birth certificate is apostilled by Texas, not California. Our order form asks which state issued the document and routes it to the correct state automatically. If you are not sure, just ask us.

One Flat, All-In Price

The same price in every state. No per-state quotes, no hidden checkout fees. Return shipping is included.

Looking for an FBI background check apostille? That is a federal document, authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, not a state office. We handle those too, in 7 to 10 business days.

FBI Background Check Apostilles

Frequently Asked Questions

A state apostille authenticates a document issued by a US state, such as a birth, marriage, death, or divorce certificate, so it is recognized in another country that belongs to the Hague Apostille Convention. The state's authentication authority, usually the Secretary of State, issues it.

Right now we handle state-issued vital records: birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, and divorce certificates. These are the cleanest category because they do not require notarization.

An FBI background check is a federal document, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. A birth or marriage certificate is a state document, so it is authenticated by that state. We handle both, on separate tracks.

The state that issued it. If your birth certificate is from New York, New York apostilles it, even if you live somewhere else today. Our order form routes your document to the issuing state automatically.

One flat, all-in price in every state. Standard is $129 for the first document and $89 for each additional. Rushed is $279 first and $169 additional. Return shipping is included.
