What We Do

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an internationally recognized certificate that authenticates your documents for legal use abroad. It's required by the 120+ countries that are part of the 1961 Hague Convention.

Without it, your U.S. documents have no legal standing overseas. We make sure they're properly notarized, authenticated by the Texas Secretary of State, and returned to you ready for international use.

Common Questions

Apostille Questions, Answered

The most common things people ask before authenticating their documents.

What is the difference between an apostille and notarization?
Notarization verifies a signature on a document. An apostille is a higher-level certification from the Texas Secretary of State that makes a notarized document legally valid in other countries. Most international documents need both — first notarization, then the apostille.
How long does an apostille take?
For Hague Convention countries, a Texas apostille typically takes 5 to 10 business days once we submit to the Secretary of State. Embassy legalization for non-Hague countries like China or Saudi Arabia takes 3 to 6 weeks. Expedited options are available if you're on a deadline.
Do I need a translation for my document?
It depends on the destination country. Many countries accept English documents with just the apostille, while others require a certified translation into their official language. We'll tell you exactly what your country requires before you start.
Can you apostille a photocopy or do you need the original?
Most apostilles require either the original document or a certified copy. For vital records like birth and marriage certificates, you typically need a certified copy issued by the state. We can guide you on obtaining the right version.
How much does an apostille cost?
Our apostille service starts at $200 per document, which includes handling and Texas Secretary of State processing. State fees and shipping are additional. Use our free Cost Calculator for an itemized estimate in under a minute.
What documents can be apostilled?
We authenticate birth and death certificates, marriage and divorce records, diplomas and transcripts, powers of attorney, background checks, corporate documents, affidavits, and more — for use in over 120 countries.
