Frequently Asked Questions: Understanding Apostilles

What is an apostille? An apostille is a single-document certification that is accepted by countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This international agreement is designed to streamline how documents are verified, replacing the need for multiple layers of legalization with just one formal certification.

Who issues an apostille? An apostille can only be issued by the Secretary of State office within a specific state.

What kinds of documents usually need this certification? The process usually involves documents such as vital records (like marriage, death, or birth certificates), court documents, and divorce decrees. It is also used for affidavits or statements that have been notarized.

Why shouldn't I just handle this myself? You do not have to handle this complex government process alone; using a professional service can help eliminate confusion, stress, and costly mistakes. Instead of mailing paperwork to several different government offices and hoping it arrives correctly, you can send your documents to one trusted location. This reduces errors and delays, which is especially important when time matters.

How does your service help me get an apostille? Once your documents are ready, we manage the entire process, which includes reviewing your paperwork to ensure it meets requirements and notarizing any documents that require it. We then submit the documents to the correct Secretary of State office, track the progress, and secure your completed documents for return.

How much does it cost? Pricing is based on the number of documents, not the number of pages (for example, a multi-page transcript counts as only one document). There are two types of costs involved:

• State Filing Fees: These are government-set fees that go directly to the state.

• Service Fees: This covers our professional work, including review, preparation, tracking, and secure return handling.

What are the specific rates for Florida documents? For documents issued in Florida, the cost is 100for the first document∗∗. This price includes both our service fee and the  Florida state filing fee. Ifyou submit additional documents at the same time, the cost is  

∗50 for each additional document, which also includes the service and state fees.

Can you help if my documents are from another state? Yes, we can assist with processing regardless of where you live or where the documents originated. For out-of-state documents, there is a $150 per document service fee that covers review, coordination, and handling. Please note that this $150 fee does not include the variable state filing fees, federal fees, or expedited shipping costs.

How do I pay and ship my documents? You can securely mail your documents to us using USPS Certified Mail or an overnight courier like FedEx. Once we receive and review your documents to ensure they are ready, we will provide a clear invoice via Square or PayPal. We guarantee transparent pricing.
