Good to know
Some city-issued records, such as New York City birth, death and marriage certificates, need a specific certified version before the state will apostille them. Ask us before you order a copy. Countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention use a longer legalization process, and we'll explain the steps for yours. Processing times depend on each office, so call for a current estimate.

Questions
Before you book
What does the concierge service include?
A consultation on the right route, pickup and notarization at your location, preparation of all forms, submission to each office, status updates and return of your apostilled documents.
Is an apostille the same as a notarization?
No. A notarization confirms who signed a document. An apostille is issued afterward by a government office and confirms that signature for use in another country.
Which office issues my apostille?
New York documents go through the New York Department of State, usually after the County Clerk. Federal documents, like FBI checks, go to the U.S. Department of State.
Can you apostille a document from another state?
An apostille comes from the state where the document was issued or notarized. We'll tell you where it needs to go.
How long does it take?
It depends on the office and the time of year. Call us for a current estimate before you set a travel date.
