Do It Yourself Apostille

November 3, 2020 by admin

Are you the “Do it Yourself” type and would rather handle the process on your own and without any help?  We totally get that!  Our website caters to those individuals who would rather not sweat the small stuff and focus on more important tasks.

At International Apostille, we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on your documents.  We can apostille documents issued from all 50 States and the District of Columbia (Washington DC).

Some of our competitors will spend a lot of money advertising their services online and then provide a “Do it Yourself” section full of confusing and inaccurate information hoping that you would give up and just hand over the business to them.  We don’t create “Do-It-Yourself” websites or compare our services with the cost of doing it on your own.

We are experts in obtaining an apostille on your documents.  We can provide you the most up-to-date information by phone, e-mail, and online chat.  Because things can change at any moment, some of the information on our website may become temporarily inaccurate.  For example, during the Covid-19 crises of 2020, some states increased their processing time with little to no notice.  For example, the California Secretary of State’s office in Los Angeles closed their offices for several weeks and later reopened them with limited hours and staff.  This caused our processing time to increase overnight from an estimated one business day to five business days.

What is an apostille?

In a Nutshell, an apostille is a certificate issued by the Secretary of State that authenticates the official who has signed your documents.  You can learn more here: What is an apostille.  We also provide an example of state apostilles on our website.

Did you know that on average 60%-70% of notarized documents are rejected by the Secretary of State’s office?

The most common reasons are:

  • No notary seal or poorly stamped seal on the document
  • The notary forgot the sign the document
  • The notary’s signature is not on file with the Secretary of State’s office
  • The notary has incorrectly signed the document (Example: Signature has changed)
  • Incorrect notarial wording (Acknowledgment or Jurat)
  • The notary’s commission has expired or invalid
  • Notary has copy certified a document incorrectly

Did you know that a handful of states require documents to be processed through the County Clerk’s office before they can receive the apostille from the Secretary of State?

While some of our competitors pretend to be nice only to hope that they confuse you enough to win your business, we’ll provide you the most up-to-date information without the trickery so you can make the best informed decision working with professionals.

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!

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 or email: support@internationalapostille.com

University Degree Apostille

October 13, 2020 by admin

Do you need to apostille your degree?

Before your degree can receive an apostille from the State,  it must be signed by the University’s Registrar and notarized.  The purpose of the apostille is to prove that your degree is genuine and can be relied on it’s authenticity.

International Apostille can apostille your degree for over 115 countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention and for over 60 countries who are non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention (Legalization process).  The most common countries we apostille degrees are for South Korea, Spain, and Italy.  For non-member countries, they include China, Taiwan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE.

Note: In additional to your degree, you will most likely need to apostille your FBI background check.

Step #1: The first step is to contact the University’s Registrar and inform the Registrar that you will need the original or a color copy of your degree to be signed and notarized.  The Registrar with either ask you to mail in the original or email a color copy. Some University’s may request that you purchase a new degree which can take time to reproduce. If the University does not have a notary on staff, a traveling notary can visit the school and meet with the Registrar.  You can search online and arrange for a traveling notary service when it’s convenient for the Registrar.  Note: Most notaries are unfamiliar with authenticating a degree (apostille) for another country so it’s best to leave the apostille process to us.  The notary must follow the proper notarial laws of their state in order for the state office to authenticate the degree with an apostille.

Step #2: Once you receive your notarized degree, go ahead and verify that the degree has been signed and notarized.  Some schools will sign and notarize the back of the degree while others have enough space to use the front.  The original signature and the printed name of the Registrar must be on the documents including the notary’s name, signature, date of notarization, notarial wording, and stamp.

Step #3: The final step is to mail in your documents to our office for processing.  We have created an order form and credit card authorization form for every US State.  You can find and download our order forms here: National Apostille Order Forms

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!

Difference Between Apostille, Notary, and Legalization

September 12, 2020 by admin

What is the difference between Apostille, Notary Public, and Legalization?

In a nutshell, an apostille is a certificate issued by the State that authenticates the official who has signed your documents.  An apostille does not authenticate the contents of the documents.  A Notary Public is a public official commissioned by the State to serve as an impartial witness in performing a variety of official acts related to the signing of important documents (Example: Special Power of Attorney, Agreements, Travel Consent letter, etc…)  Legalization is a term used in the process of legalizing documents for countries who are not member of the Hague Apostille Convention.  For example, if you need to legalize your documents for China, they will need to be processed through the State, US Department of State in Washington DC, and the China Embassy.

To view a list of countries we can legalize documents for, click the following link: Embassy Consulate Legalization

Here is an example of the legalization process:

There are currently 117 countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.  In the United States, every state and the U.S. Federal Government can issue an apostille.  We have provided an example of every apostille here: Apostille Examples

International Apostille can obtain an apostille for countries who are member of the Hague Apostille Convention and we can legalize documents for countries who are not.  Embassy Consulate Legalization

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.
