Frequently Asked Questions
Do you issue or notarize documents?
No—we do not issue vital records, and we do not provide legal advice. You provide the document; we process the apostille service on your behalf.
How long does it take?
Timeframes vary by Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State. We’ll advise current estimates and courier options.
What if the country isn’t in the Hague Convention?
We route your file through authentication and consular legalization steps when an apostille is not accepted.
