Frequently Asked Questions
Can you also apostille the retrieved document?
Yes. We can bundle retrieval with apostille processing and shipping for a complete end-to-end service. Contact us for a combined quote.
Is the retrieval fee refundable?
The retrieval fee is non-refundable once we have initiated the process (e.g., courthouse visit or agency filing), even if the request is later canceled.
