July 26, 2023 by admin

Are you looking to apostille a Travel Consent Letter?

National Apostille streamlines the process of obtaining an apostille for your notarized travel consent letter in all 50 states and Washington DC.

The purpose of signing a travel consent letter is to allow your minor child to travel outside of the country with another person (Example: Father, Mother, Grandparents, Aunt, Uncle, etc..). You can obtain a travel consent letter from the airline, travel agency, or you can find a sample online.

The letter will need to state that you are giving permission to one or more people to take your child outside of the country. The letter should include travel dates, your name, the name of the child, the person the child will travel with, the country the child will travel too, passport numbers, and the return date. You will want to put as much information as possible include airline information.

The travel consent letter will need to be signed and notarized by the person giving permission. Once the document has been notarized, it can then be mailed in to our office for processing.

Frequently Asked Questions for a travel consent letter:

Q: Do you have a sample of a travel consent letter?

A: Airlines and cruise ships can provide samples, or you can find one online.

Q: Why do I need to apostille the travel consent letter?

A: It’s a requirement for allowing your child to travel abroad. Both parents may need to provide permission based on the travel arrangement.

Q: Can I apostille a travel consent letter notarized in a different state?

A: No, you can only apostille the letter in the state where it was signed and notarized. If multiple states are involved, each requires its own apostille.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Apostille My Passport

June 30, 2023 by admin

Are you searching for information on “How to Apostille My Passport”?

We can apostille any passport (Example: USA, India, UK, Russia, China, etc…) signed and notarized in all 50 U.S. states, District of Columbia, and the U.S. Federal Government (USA Embassy). For countries who are non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention, we can also process your passport through the U.S. Department of State and the Embassy or Consulate office.

Most countries will only request for you to apostille the page of your passport with your picture and information. Some countries may request for you to color copy the entire passport and only have the page with your picture and information to be signed and notarized. Be sure to double check with the requesting country in order to avoid any delays or additional costs.

In order to apostille your passport, you must mail in the original notarized color copy to our office for processing. If you are outside of the USA, please do not send in your original passport. We recommend that you contact the local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office to schedule a time to meet with a U.S. Federal notary and have the copy signed and notarized. Once notarized, you can then mail in the notarized color copy to our Washington DC office for processing.

If you are in the United States, please meet with a local notary public. We recommend that you find a notary public who has at least five years of experience and one who will follow the notarial laws of their State. Some States require a notarized document to also be authenticated by the County Clerk. These States include: Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, and Tennessee.

Please Note: We can only help you with documents originating from or notarized within the United States and for another country. If your passport is notarized in another country, you will need to contact the correct competent authority to assist you in that country.

Our staff is available Monday-Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow-step-by-step instructions. Please call us at 1-888-810-4054.
