When the receiving authority specifically requires apostille on your physical original document. We guide you through every step — from notarization to secure return shipping.
Our default service is the True Copy Apostille — faster, more affordable, and no mailing required. The Original Document Apostille is only needed when the receiving foreign authority specifically requires apostille on the physical original document rather than a certified true copy.
Not sure which you need? Submit your document for a free review and we'll confirm the correct protocol for your destination country and document type at no charge.
We verify with you that the receiving authority actually requires the Original Protocol. Many clients are incorrectly told they need it when True Copy is accepted.
Some documents require in-state physical notarization before apostille. We coordinate a Mobile Notary or guide you on obtaining notarization in the correct state.
You ship your original document to our office using a trackable carrier. We provide a pre-addressed shipping label and intake checklist.
We submit your original to the correct Secretary of State or federal authority and track progress through completion.
Your original document with the attached apostille certificate is returned to you by tracked overnight or international shipping.
