If you need to present a U.S. document in another country, you’ll often need official validation. For countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, this validation comes as an apostille—a specific type of certification that confirms the legitimacy of your U.S. document for international use.
Instead of undergoing a complicated consular legalization process, apostille services significantly simplify the procedure. Apostilles ensure documents like birth certificates, diplomas, and powers of attorney are recognized internationally without additional approvals.
Our U.S. apostille services provide fast, convenient solutions for validating your documents anywhere in the world.
Why the State of Issue Is Important
The United States doesn’t issue apostilles through one centralized federal office for all document types. Instead:
- State-issued documents (like birth certificates or notarized affidavits) must be processed by the Secretary of State in the state where they were created or notarized.
- Federal documents (such as FBI background checks or documents from U.S. courts) require processing through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
- We provide professional U.S. apostille services that help clients obtain apostilles from any state, regardless of their current location. Whether you live abroad or simply don’t have the time to visit a government office, we simplify the apostille process.
