August 10, 2018 by admin

Are you planning to register your car in a foreign country? Is the foreign country requesting an apostille on your vehicle registration certificate?

We can assist you with vehicle title registration certificates issued from the United State and from any Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV).

At International Apostille, we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on a Vehicle Title Registration Certificate (Car Title). Our trained and knowledgeable staff are available Monday – Saturday from 8am to 7pm to answer your questions and provide you easy to follow step-by-step instructions.

In order to register a car in a foreign country, you will need to prove one of the following:

You own the car and plan to use it in the foreign country.
The seller has sold the car to you and you need to register it in the foreign country.

Before the vehicle title registration can be issued an apostille, it must be signed and notarized within the United State or at a U.S. Embassy. If the transferrer of the vehicle is in the United States, he/she can meet with a local notary public who will witness the owner sign this document. Once signed and notarized, then the documents can be mailed in to our apostille office for processing.

Apostilles 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!

Certificate of Naturalization Apostille – USCIS Form G-24

July 21, 2018 by admin

Do you need an apostille on your Certificate of Naturalization from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.?

A Certificate of Naturalization issued from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (Homeland Security) can be processed through our Washington DC office.

If your Certificate of Naturalization is older than 20 years or if you would like to apostille a certified true copy instead of the original, we recommend that you contact the local U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office and request to meet with the Field Office Director.

When a naturalized US citizen needs to have a Certificate of Naturalization “authenticated” by the U.S. State Department for use by Foreign Governments/Embassies, etc…., USCIS can copy the document and certify it as a true copy. “Authentication” is a term used by the U.S. Department of State and other Governments to describe what USCIS refers to as Certified True Copies. When you require a Certificate of Naturalization to be authenticated, be sure to use the term “Certified True Copy.”

If you have the original document to be certified, you must make an appointment with your local USCIS office by using the InfoPass Appointment Scheduler. When you go to your appointment, be sure to bring your original naturalization certificate and a copy of it. Also bring another form of photo identification, such as a drivers license or passport. A USCIS officer will review the documents and may certify the copy, if the officer can confirm your identity and status as a naturalized citizen.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will provide Certified True Copies and return these along with the supplied documentation to the requester. USCIS cannot act as an agent of the U.S. Department of State by accepting fees on behalf of other government agencies, or forwarding documentation to any other government agency. All documentation coming from a requester, along with any documentation supplied by the Department of Homeland Security, will be returned to the requester.

Here is an example of a U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form G-24 Certification of Documents from the Department of Homeland Security.

Obtaining an apostille from the U.S. Department of State can be complicated and time consuming. 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!

Does an Apostille Expire?

June 17, 2018 by admin

Does an Apostille Expire?

The answer is NO. An apostille does NOT have an expiration date.

But, most countries requesting an apostille on your documents may request for the documents and the apostilles to be issued within a certain period of time. For example, we have heard that most countries request an apostille and the FBI background check to be issued within the past 90 days. Some countries may request them as soon as 30 days.

Please double check with the country requesting your documents to find out how old they can be and how recent should the apostille be issued. For example, if you need a California apostille on a California birth certificate, we recommend that you ask how old the birth certificate can be and how recent the apostille should be issued. If the answer is 30 days for both, then the birth and the apostille must be issued within the past 30 days.

From our experience, background checks have the most restrictions.

Also, some States have restrictions on how old the documents can be. For example, Wisconsin and Virginia are 12 months. Texas is five years. We recommend that you contact us so we can review your documents.

Here is typically what’s included in a Apostille:
