[Contact Us](https://apostilles.us/contact)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) Do I need to send my original document? In the vast majority of cases, no. You upload a clear color scan of your document, our licensed notary certifies that the printed copy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and the Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The resulting apostilled document is legally recognized across Hague Convention countries for almost every common use case: dual citizenship, marriage abroad, visa or work-permit applications, school enrollment, foreign property transactions, and more. The only time you would need to mail the physical original is if the receiving authority in your destination country specifically demands the original document itself, which is uncommon. If that applies, we offer an [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) and will guide you through it. [Learn more about our digital process →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary public who reviews your uploaded scan and certifies that a printed copy made from that scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. The Secretary of State then issues the apostille on that notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature, which is exactly what the Hague Convention recognizes. Because we work from a scan, your original never has to leave your possession, processing is significantly faster than mailing documents back and forth, and there is no risk of your originals being lost or damaged in transit. Does my document need notarization before the apostille? Usually no. Public documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, diplomas and transcripts from accredited institutions, FBI background checks, certified corporate filings) are issued by a government body or registrar and can be apostilled directly without additional notarization. Private documents that carry a signature block, for example a power of attorney, affidavit, sworn statement, or contract, do need to be notarized first, because the apostille is issued on the notary's certification rather than on the document itself. If your document needs notarization, our Remote Online Notary or Mobile Notary add-ons handle it as part of your order. What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority (usually the Secretary of State) that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. How long does apostille processing take? Processing times depend on the tier you choose. Economy Standard takes 4–6 business days, Standard Priority takes 2–3 business days, and Priority Express is processed within 1 business day. Federal apostilles take 6–14 business days and cannot be expedited. Which countries accept apostilles? Over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. This includes most of Europe, South America, and many countries in Asia and Africa. If your destination country is not a member, you may need embassy legalization instead. What documents can be apostilled? Most U.S.-issued documents can be apostilled, including birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, diplomas, transcripts, corporate documents, powers of attorney, FBI background checks, and more. How much does it cost? Apostille processing starts at $149 per document for economy. We also offer priority and express tiers. All pricing includes document review and tracked shipping.

The 1-business-day option is ideal for urgent deadlines but does not include shipping time. ### Priority Express 1 business day Business-day turnaround ### Standard Priority 2-3 business days Reliable mid-range option ### Economy Standard 4-6 business days Best value for non-urgent requests Common delay causes: Unclear or cropped scans, missing pages, and submitting the wrong document format are the top reasons state processing stalls. ## Federal Processing Timelines Federal processing is handled by the U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications. Their posted guidance emphasizes planning around processing times, as federal timelines are not controlled at the state level. ### 6-14 business days. Cannot Be Expedited Federal apostilles take 6-14 business days and cannot be expedited. Federal cannot be treated like state express. Plan your timeline accordingly. ## Shipping & Delivery Shipping time is separate from processing time. Factor both into your deadline planning. ### Tracked Shipping We ship completed documents directly to you with tracking (domestic and international options available). If your case requires an original or certified copy to be mailed in, we provide exact shipping instructions after review to avoid mis-deliveries and delays. ## Timeline Examples ### State (1 Business Day) + Overnight - Processing 1 business day - Shipping 1 business day (overnight) - Total ~2 business days ### Federal + International - Processing 6-14 business days (Dept. of State) - Shipping 5-10 business days (international) - Total ~2-3 weeks ## How to Avoid Delays - Upload full-color, uncropped scans of every page - Ensure all pages are included (front and back where applicable) - Confirm the destination country is not the U.S. - apostilles are for use abroad - Double-check document classification (state vs. federal) before submitting ## What Our Clients Say Trusted by individuals, businesses, and legal professionals nationwide.

Every submission must include a destination country outside the U.S. For non-Hague destinations, we offer authentication and legalization services. ## Apostille vs. Authentication Certificate ### Apostille Issued when the destination country participates in the Hague Apostille Convention. A single certificate authenticates the document for acceptance abroad. ### Authentication Certificate Required when the destination country is not a Hague participant. The process typically involves additional steps, including embassy or consulate legalization. ## Upload Standards - Full-color scan (no black-and-white) - All pages included (front and back where applicable) - No cropping: edges, seals, and stamps must be fully visible - Signatures and seals must be clear and legible For FBI federal intake, upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website, or send the original physical FBI document.

With our digital process, the apostille is issued by the Secretary of State where our notary is commissioned, not the state where your original document was issued. This is a standard part of the digital apostille workflow and is fully compliant under the Hague Convention . The apostille on your document is a valid, government-issued certificate from the Secretary of State, and it is accepted by receiving authorities in Hague Convention countries regardless of the state that originally issued the underlying document. ### Need to send your physical original? A small number of receiving authorities specifically require the apostille to be placed directly on the original document. If that is your situation, we offer an Original Document Apostille service. You mail us your original, we route it to the issuing state for direct apostille, and ship the completed document back. [Original Document Apostille service →](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) FAQ ## True copy of the original: common questions What is a true copy of the original? A true copy of the original is a reproduction that a notary or document custodian certifies to be a complete and accurate copy of the original document. The certification, signed and sealed, is what gives the copy legal standing. With our digital process, we print the scan you upload and our notary certifies it as a true copy of the original you hold. Is a true copy the same as a certified copy? They overlap but are not identical. A certified copy is issued by the office that holds the record (for example a vital records office issuing a certified birth certificate). A notarized true copy is certified by a notary or custodian rather than the issuing office. Both are public acts an apostille can authenticate; the notarized true copy is what we produce from your uploaded scan. What does true copy attested mean? True copy attested means an authorized person, usually a notary, has formally declared in writing that the copy matches the original document. The attestation (the signed and sealed statement) is the public act that an apostille authenticates. So a true copy attested by a notary can carry an apostille and be recognized abroad. Can a true copy be apostilled? Yes. A plain photocopy cannot be apostilled, but a notarized true copy can. The apostille authenticates the notary's signature and seal on the true copy certificate, which is a valid public act under the Hague Convention. This is exactly how our digital process works: you keep the original, we apostille a notarized true copy. Do I send my original document? For most documents, no. You upload a scan, we notarize a true copy of the original, and the apostille is issued on that copy, so your original never leaves your hands. A small number of receiving authorities require the apostille on the physical original; for those cases we offer an Original Document Apostille service and will tell you during your free review if that applies. ## Keep exploring [Get an apostille without sending your original](https://apostilles.us/apostille-without-sending-original)[Can you apostille a copy of a document?](https://apostilles.us/can-you-apostille-a-copy)[FBI background check apostille](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille)[See apostille pricing](https://apostilles.us/pricing) From $149 per document [Start My Order](https://apostilles.us/submit) Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original --- Contact # Get in touch Have a question about your order, document eligibility, or processing?

Third-Party Providers We may use third parties, including processors, payment providers, notaries, translators, couriers, shipping providers, software vendors, communications providers, hosting providers, subcontractors, fulfillment partners, consultants, and other service providers, to perform any portion of the Services. You authorize us to disclose and transmit your information, documents, and instructions to such parties to the extent we deem necessary or useful for providing, facilitating, reviewing, processing, monitoring, securing, or administering the Site and Services.

Chargebacks; Payment Disputes; Collections You agree to contact us first at contact@apostilles.us and provide a good-faith opportunity to address any billing concern before initiating a chargeback, payment dispute, reversal, or claim with any payment processor, issuer, bank, or platform. If you initiate or threaten a chargeback, reversal, or payment dispute, or if any payment is reversed, declined, clawed back, or deemed high risk, we may, in our sole discretion: - stop work immediately; - suspend or terminate access or processing; - refuse release or further handling of materials to the extent permitted by law; - require cleared alternative payment before resuming any Services; - contest the dispute and provide records regarding your order, communications, acceptance of these Terms, and delivery/performance data; and - pursue collection of all amounts owed, plus administrative charges, collection costs, processor fees, attorneys' fees where permitted, and other recovery expenses. ## 11.

Dispute Resolution; Arbitration; Class Action Waiver PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. ### (a) Mandatory Informal Resolution Before starting arbitration or filing any claim, you must first send a detailed written notice of dispute to contact@apostilles.us, including your full name, contact information, order information, and a description of the claim and requested relief. You agree to allow at least thirty (30) days after such notice for informal resolution. ### (b) Binding Arbitration Except for claims that qualify for small claims court and except for claims by FILINGS seeking injunctive or equitable relief relating to misuse of the Site, intellectual property, confidential information, payment recovery, fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Site, or the Services shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its applicable Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the claim is filed, except as modified by these Terms. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. ### (c) Arbitration Format To the fullest extent permitted by applicable rules and law, arbitration may be conducted on written submissions, by remote appearance, by telephone, by video conference, or by an in-person hearing as determined by the arbitrator or applicable AAA rules. ### (d) Individual Claims Only; Class Action Waiver YOU AND FILINGS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF, CLAIMANT, CLASS MEMBER, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, OR REPRESENTATIVE IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, CONSOLIDATED, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND FILINGS EXPRESSLY AGREE OTHERWISE IN WRITING, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON'S CLAIMS AND MAY NOT PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF CLASS, COLLECTIVE, MASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ### (e) Jury Trial Waiver TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND FILINGS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL IN ANY PROCEEDING PERMITTED TO PROCEED IN COURT. ### (f) Opt-Out You may opt out of this arbitration section by emailing contact@apostilles.us within thirty (30) days after you first accept these Terms. Your email must include your full legal name, contact information, and a clear statement that you are opting out of arbitration. Opting out of arbitration does not affect any other provision of these Terms. ## 23. Governing Law These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or related to the Site or Services, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except to the extent preempted or displaced by applicable federal law or the arbitration rules governing a particular dispute. ## 24. Time Limit to Bring Claims To the maximum extent permitted by law, any claim or cause of action arising out of or relating to the Site, the Services, or these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arose, or it is permanently barred. ## 25. Changes to Site, Services, Prices, or Terms We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, modify, suspend, discontinue, restrict, replace, or update any portion of the Site, Services, pricing, policies, content, features, workflows, availability, or these Terms, with or without notice. Updated Terms are effective when posted, unless a different effective date is stated. Your continued access to or use of the Site or Services after updated Terms are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. ## 26.

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire agreement between you and FILINGS regarding the Site and Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings, communications, and proposals relating to the same subject matter. ## 27. Assignment You may not assign, delegate, transfer, or sublicense any rights or obligations under these Terms without our prior written consent. Any attempted assignment in violation of this section is void. We may assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, in whole or in part, without notice or consent, including in connection with any merger, acquisition, restructuring, financing, asset sale, or internal reorganization. ## 28. Severability; Waiver; Interpretation If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and the remainder shall remain in full force and effect. No failure or delay by FILINGS in exercising any right, remedy, or provision shall operate as a waiver. Headings are for convenience only and do not affect interpretation. "Including" means "including without limitation." ## 29. Force Majeure We are not liable for any delay, suspension, interruption, error, loss, or failure resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, weather, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, labor shortages, utility interruption, internet or telecom outages, software or hosting failure, cyber incidents, carrier disruption, payment processor disruption, authority closure, backlog, policy change, customs action, epidemic, pandemic, embargo, governmental action, or any other force majeure event. ## 30.

Effective Date: March 14, 2026 Last Updated: March 14, 2026 This Privacy Policy describes how FILINGS ("FILINGS," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, stores, and protects information when you access or use apostilles.us and any related forms, portals, tracking features, communications, and services (collectively, the "Services"). Company: FILINGS Email (only): contact@apostilles.us This Privacy Policy is intended to provide notice of our data practices. It does not create contractual promises beyond those expressly stated in our Terms of Service. By accessing or using the Services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. ## 1. Scope This Privacy Policy applies to information collected through the Services from site visitors, customers, prospective customers, and other individuals who interact with us in connection with the Services. We are an independent private service provider. We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of any Secretary of State office, the U.S. Department of State, any embassy or consulate, or any other government authority. You are responsible for submitting only information and documents you are authorized to provide. If you submit information about another person, you represent that you have authority to do so. ## 2. Categories of Information We Collect Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect the following categories of information: ### 2.1 Contact and Identifier Information Such as your name, email address, phone number, messaging contact details if you choose to provide them, mailing address, billing address, recipient name, and recipient address. ### 2.2 Order and Request Information Such as destination country, document type, issuing jurisdiction, order details, shipping selections, service selections, add-ons, notes, status history, and communications relating to your request. ### 2.3 Document and Submission Information Such as files you upload or send to us, document images, PDFs, metadata, and information contained in those files. Because of the nature of the Services, submitted materials may contain sensitive or high-risk personal information, such as passport details, birth records, identity document data, legal records, notarized materials, government-issued document details, or other information you choose to provide. ### 2.4 Payment and Transaction Information Payments are processed by third-party payment processors. We may receive transaction-related details such as payment status, transaction ID, billing name, billing address, timestamps, and limited payment-method details made available by the processor. We do not intentionally store full payment card numbers or CVV codes on our own servers. ### 2.5 Communications Information Such as emails, form submissions, support requests, attachments, and records of our communications with you. ### 2.6 Device, Log, and Usage Information Such as IP address, browser type, device type, operating system, approximate location derived from IP address, referring URL, page views, timestamps, clickstream data, diagnostic information, and security or fraud-prevention signals. ### 2.7 Cookie and Similar Technology Information Such as information collected through cookies, pixels, tags, local storage, or similar technologies used for site operation, security, analytics, and similar business purposes. ## 3. Sources of Information We may collect information from the following sources: - directly from you; - from documents or files you submit; - from your communications with us; - from payment processors and fraud-prevention providers; - from shipping carriers, fulfillment providers, and operational partners involved in your request; - from analytics, hosting, communications, and security providers; - automatically from your device or browser when you use the Services. ## 4. How We Use Information We may collect, use, store, review, copy, transmit, and otherwise process information for the following purposes: - to provide, operate, administer, and improve the Services; - to review submissions and determine whether and how to process a request; - to communicate with you about your request, order, status, or support issue; - to process payments and maintain transaction records; - to coordinate shipping, returns, completion scans, notifications, and other fulfillment functions; - to engage service providers, subcontractors, processors, couriers, notaries, translators, or other operational partners where needed for the Services; - to detect, investigate, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, unauthorized activity, payment risk, security incidents, and legal or compliance issues; - to maintain records, logs, audit trails, and business documentation; - to enforce our Terms of Service and other policies; - to comply with legal obligations, lawful requests, court orders, subpoenas, tax obligations, accounting obligations, and regulatory requirements; - to protect our rights, property, systems, personnel, customers, and business operations; - to evaluate, test, secure, troubleshoot, monitor, and improve site performance and user experience; and - to send marketing or promotional communications where permitted by law, subject to any opt-out rights you may have. We may also use information in aggregated or de-identified form where permitted by law. ## 5. How We Disclose Information We do not disclose personal information except as described in this Privacy Policy, as directed by you, or as otherwise permitted or required by law. We may disclose information to the following categories of recipients: ### 5.1 Service Providers and Processors Including providers of hosting, cloud storage, analytics, fraud prevention, payment processing, email delivery, communications, document handling, security, and customer-support infrastructure. ### 5.2 Operational Partners Including couriers, shipping providers, translators, notaries, subcontractors, fulfillment partners, and other vendors involved in handling, transmitting, reviewing, routing, or fulfilling your request. ### 5.3 Governmental or Issuing Authorities, Where Necessary Where necessary to carry out the Services you request, we may transmit documents and related information to the relevant offices, authorities, agencies, or institutions involved in processing, review, authentication, certification, or delivery. ### 5.4 Legal, Compliance, and Safety Recipients If we believe disclosure is necessary or appropriate to comply with law, legal process, or lawful requests; enforce our agreements; detect or prevent fraud or abuse; respond to security incidents; collect amounts owed; or protect rights, safety, and property. ### 5.5 Corporate Transaction Recipients In connection with an actual or proposed merger, acquisition, financing, due diligence process, reorganization, bankruptcy, receivership, sale of assets, or transition of service operations. ### 5.6 Other Disclosures Directed by You We may disclose information to other parties when you instruct us to do so or when you otherwise consent. ## 6. Cookies and Similar Technologies We set a first-party visitor identifier cookie (a randomly generated UUID, valid for up to two years) on first visit. This cookie contains no personal information; it lets us measure how many unique visitors reach the site and which pages they view so we can compute aggregate conversion metrics for our own internal reporting. The identifier is never shared with third parties. We may use cookies and similar technologies for the following purposes: - operating and securing the Services; - maintaining session integrity; - remembering preferences; - preventing abuse and detecting fraud; - measuring traffic and performance; - troubleshooting and analytics. You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the Services may not function properly if cookies are limited or disabled. We do not sell personal information, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising or targeted advertising. If applicable law grants you the right to opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, you may exercise that right by emailing contact@apostilles.us with the subject line Privacy Request. ## 7. Sensitive Information Because users may submit documents containing sensitive information, we may process sensitive personal information to the extent reasonably necessary to provide the Services, verify submissions, prevent fraud, comply with law, and protect our operations. We ask that you do not submit information or documents that are not reasonably necessary for your request. We do not use sensitive personal information to infer characteristics about you except as inherent in reviewing the document or request you voluntarily submit. ## 8. Retention We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide the Services, maintain records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, enforce agreements, comply with legal obligations, and protect our business operations. Because the Services involve document handling and audit-sensitive workflows, retention periods vary by category of information and by business need. In general: - contact, order, and communication records may be retained for customer-service, fraud-prevention, tax, accounting, dispute, and compliance purposes; - uploaded documents and document-derived information may be retained for processing, support, audit, fraud-prevention, re-issue, recordkeeping, legal, and operational purposes; - payment and transaction information may be retained for billing, accounting, fraud, tax, dispute, and reconciliation purposes; - technical logs, device data, and security records may be retained for performance, troubleshooting, abuse prevention, and security purposes. We may delete, de-identify, archive, or dispose of information when we determine it is no longer reasonably necessary, subject to our legal, operational, compliance, and dispute-preservation needs. ## 9. Security We use administrative, technical, organizational, and physical safeguards designed to protect information appropriate to the nature of the data and the risks involved. These measures may include access controls, credential management, network and application safeguards, monitoring, vendor controls, and encryption in transit where supported. However, no method of transmission, storage, or processing is fully secure, and we do not guarantee absolute security. You provide information and use the Services at your own risk. ## 10. International Users and Cross-Border Transfers The Services are operated from the United States and may be supported by service providers in other jurisdictions. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be transferred to, processed in, and stored in the United States or other jurisdictions whose laws may differ from those of your location. Where applicable law requires transfer safeguards, we may use measures we consider appropriate under the circumstances. ## 11. Children's Privacy The Services are not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children for independent use of the Services. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us improperly, email contact@apostilles.us. ## 12. Your Privacy Rights Depending on where you live and subject to applicable law, exemptions, and verification requirements, you may have the right to: - know or access certain personal information we have collected about you; - request correction of inaccurate personal information; - request deletion of certain personal information; - request a portable copy of certain personal information; - opt out of sale, sharing, or targeted advertising, where applicable; - limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, where applicable; - opt out of marketing communications. To submit a privacy request, email contact@apostilles.us with the subject line Privacy Request. We may require you to provide information sufficient to verify your identity and authority before acting on a request. We may deny requests where permitted by law, including where we cannot verify the request, where an exemption applies, where the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive, or where retention is permitted for legal, compliance, security, fraud-prevention, or operational reasons. You may use an authorized agent where permitted by law, but we may require proof of authorization and independent identity verification. ### Appeals If we deny your request in whole or in part and applicable law gives you a right to appeal, you may appeal by replying to our denial email or emailing contact@apostilles.us with the subject line Privacy Appeal within thirty (30) days of the denial. We may require information needed to identify the original request and verify the appeal. ## 13. Marketing Communications If we send promotional or marketing emails, you may opt out by using the unsubscribe mechanism in the message or by emailing contact@apostilles.us. Even if you opt out of marketing communications, we may still send transactional, operational, legal, security, or service-related communications. ## 14. Third-Party Sites and Services The Services may contain links to third-party websites, tools, or services. We are not responsible for the privacy, security, or content practices of third parties. Their handling of your information is governed by their own terms and privacy policies. ## 15. Changes to This Privacy Policy We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes become effective when posted unless a different effective date is stated. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of an updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acknowledgment of the revised Policy. ## 16.

We can coordinate the full workflow. Order your standalone certified translation here, and if you also need the document apostilled, we can handle both. The translation can also be added when you submit an apostille order. How is translation priced? Pricing is per page and depends on two things: how fast you need it and how many pages. Economy Standard (3-4 business days) starts at $29/page for 10+ pages; Standard Priority (2 business days) and Priority Express (1 business day) cost a little more per page. The per-page rate also drops as your page count grows. We detect the word count from your uploaded scans (200 words per page) and apply the matched rate to the whole order. What if my document is unusually long or complex? The per-page tiers cover standard documents. For very long packets, low-legibility scans, or specialized terminology (medical, technical, legal), reach out for a custom quote and turnaround estimate.

For supported non-apostille destinations, the document instead follows authentication and embassy legalization. ### Apostille Route A designated state or federal authority issues one apostille certificate for use in a Hague Convention destination. ### Legalization Route The document moves through a chain of certifications so the destination embassy can legalize it for use in that country. [Read the U.S. Department of State authentication requirements](https://travel.state.gov/en/replace-certify/authenticate-documents/authentication-certification.html) How embassy legalization works ## One Order, Every Required Stage We review the document type first because federal and non-federal documents enter the chain at different points. 1 ### State Certification State-issued, notarized, academic, corporate, and private documents are certified by the appropriate state authority when required. 2 ### USDOS Authentication The U.S. Department of State authenticates the preceding official signature or seal. Federal documents begin at this stage and skip state certification. 3 ### Embassy Legalization The destination country's embassy or consulate performs the final legalization step before the document is returned to you. ### Have a federal document? Secretary of State certification does not apply. Your order starts with U.S. Department of State authentication, then proceeds to the destination embassy. Document requirements ## Plan to Send the Original Approximately 99% of legalization orders require an original physical document. Complete the online intake first. We will issue a work order number and provide trackable shipping instructions before you send anything. If a true copy is specifically accepted, we still need the original true-copy certification with its wet signature for authentication. - Civil and vital records - Diplomas and transcripts - Corporate and commercial documents - Affidavits, powers of attorney, and private documents - Federal agency and federal court documents - Foreign-issued documents, subject to route review Transparent pricing ## Legalization Fees by Destination Fees are per document.

Legalization FAQ ## Embassy Legalization Questions What is the difference between an apostille, authentication, and legalization? An apostille is the simplified certificate used between participating Hague Apostille Convention countries. A non-apostille destination generally requires authentication by the relevant U.S. authorities followed by legalization at its embassy or consulate. Do I need to mail my original document? Most likely. Approximately 99% of legalization orders require the original physical document. Complete the intake first and wait for your work order number and shipping instructions before mailing it. Can a federal document be legalized? Yes. A federal document starts with U.S. Department of State authentication and then moves to the destination embassy. Secretary of State certification does not apply to a federal document. Which document types can be legalized? Civil, academic, corporate, commercial, private, federal, and foreign-issued documents can be reviewed for legalization. The exact preparation requirements depend on the document and destination. Which countries do you currently support for embassy legalization? The dedicated intake currently supports the United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Nigeria, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan. How long does embassy legalization take? U.S. Department of State authentication is estimated at 7 to 9 business days. State certification and embassy processing times vary, and shipping time is separate.

Whether you are moving abroad for work, applying for residency, or completing an international adoption, here is how the federal apostille works and how to submit your FBI file correctly. [Submit FBI Background Check](https://apostilles.us/submit)[View What to Submit](https://apostilles.us/requirements) Federal processing: 6–14 business days · shipping time is separate Federal Routing U.S. Dept. of State Official Apostille Hague compliant 120+ Countries Accepted worldwide 50+ States & Territories 120+ Countries Accepted Federal U.S. Dept. of State 100% Hague Compliant ## A Federal Document, Authenticated Federally - Federal routing: FBI Identity History Summaries are federal records. Their apostille comes from the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C., not from a state Secretary of State. - Processing time: Estimated federal processing is 6–14 business days. There is no expedited federal tier, and shipping time is separate. - Accepted intake: The original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website, or the original physical FBI document. A scan or photocopy of a printed FBI report is not used for federal processing. ## Can I apostille a PDF of my FBI background check? Yes. The FBI issues the Identity History Summary as a downloadable PDF, and that original file is what federal processing uses. Upload the PDF exactly as you received it from the FBI. A scan or photocopy of a printed report is not accepted for federal processing. If you were issued a physical FBI document instead, send the original through the physical-document intake. [See all submission instructions](https://apostilles.us/requirements) Why It Matters ## Why You Need an Apostilled FBI Background Check Foreign governments, employers, and institutions in Hague Apostille Convention member countries require an apostille before they will treat a U.S. document as authentic. An FBI background check is commonly requested for: Teaching abroad, where schools and education ministries often require a criminal record check for foreign teachers Work visas and employment abroad that require proof of a clean criminal record Immigration and residency applications Citizenship applications in countries where you have ancestry or residency International adoption processes Process ## The Full Process: Step by Step 1 ### Obtain Your FBI Identity History Summary Request your Identity History Summary from the FBI. You will receive it as a downloadable PDF or, in some cases, as a physical document. This is the record that gets apostilled. 2 ### Provide the Original FBI File or Document Upload the original downloadable FBI PDF through our secure portal, or arrange shipment of the original physical FBI document. We confirm the file is the correct version before anything is filed. 3 ### We Prepare the Federal Submission We prepare the submission paperwork and route your record to the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C. You do not deal with the federal office yourself. 4 ### Federal Processing Estimated federal processing is 6–14 business days. There is no expedited federal tier; our service covers preparation, coordination, and return handling. 5 ### Tracked Return, Plus Translation if Required The apostilled document is returned with the tracked shipping selected in your order. Many destination countries also require a certified translation of the apostilled document; check with your receiving authority, and we can add certified translation to the same order. Timing ## Timing: Freshness Windows and How to Plan Most countries require your FBI background check to be recent at the time you submit it to them, not just at the time it was apostilled. The window is measured from the date the FBI issued the report, and it varies by country and by the receiving authority, so confirm the exact requirement with your embassy, consulate, or institution before ordering. 1 Confirm your destination's freshness requirement first, then request your FBI Identity History Summary so the clock starts as late as possible. 2 Submit the original FBI PDF or physical document to us as soon as you receive it. Federal processing is estimated at 6–14 business days and cannot be expedited. 3 Add shipping time in both directions and, if your destination requires it, certified translation. Plan the whole chain against the freshness window. Estimated federal processing is 6–14 business days. Apostilles.us does not offer an expedited federal tier.

Digital intake for the original downloadable FBI PDF, or physical intake for the original FBI document Verification that you have the correct version of the FBI record before anything is filed All federal submission paperwork prepared and handled on your behalf Timing coordination to help you stay within your destination's freshness window Certified translation bundling if your destination country requires it Domestic and international tracked return shipping, selected in the order Federal processing is estimated at 6–14 business days and cannot be expedited. Our service covers preparation, coordination, and return handling, not the federal office's processing time. FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I apostille a PDF of my FBI background check? Yes. Upload the original downloadable FBI PDF exactly as you received it from the FBI. That original file is what federal processing uses. A scan or photocopy of a printed FBI report is not used for federal processing. Can I send a physical FBI document instead? Yes. If the FBI issued your Identity History Summary as a physical document, send the original through the physical-document intake and we handle it from there. Why can't a state Secretary of State apostille my FBI background check? FBI background checks are federal records issued by a federal agency. Under the Hague Apostille Convention, the apostille comes from the authority designated for that type of document, and for federal U.S. records that authority is the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications. A state office has no jurisdiction over federal records, so it cannot issue a valid apostille for one, regardless of which state you live in. How long does the federal apostille take? Estimated federal processing is 6–14 business days. There is no expedited federal tier, so no service level changes the federal office's timeline. Shipping time in both directions is separate. My country requires the check to be less than a few months old. How do I manage timing? Confirm the exact freshness window with your receiving authority first; requirements differ by country and by institution, and the window usually runs from the FBI issue date. Then request your FBI report, send us the original file as soon as you have it, and account for federal processing plus shipping. We prioritize time-sensitive FBI requests and can bundle certified translation so the whole chain fits inside your window. Do I need both an FBI background check and a state background check? It depends on your destination country and the specific authority requesting the document. Some accept only the FBI federal check; others require a state-level criminal history from your most recent state of residence in addition to, or instead of, the federal check. If both are required they are apostilled separately: the FBI record through the U.S. Department of State and the state record through that state's designated apostille office. Does the apostilled FBI check need a translation? The apostille certificate itself follows a standardized format, but many destination countries require a certified translation of the FBI report and apostille into the local language. Check with your receiving authority, and add certified translation to the same order if it is required. ## Related Resources [State vs. Federal Apostille: What Is the Difference?](https://apostilles.us/state-vs-federal-apostille)[True Copy vs. Original Apostille](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original)[Getting a U.S. Document Apostilled from Abroad](https://apostilles.us/apostille-from-abroad) Ready When You Are ## Ready to Get Started?

[95% five-star Trustpilot reviews](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/apostilles.us) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I get a U.S. apostille without returning to the United States? Yes. You do not need to be physically present in the United States to obtain a U.S. apostille. Our service accepts clear scans of your original documents. We handle submission to the correct issuing authority on your behalf and ship the completed apostille directly to your international address. Most documents can be processed entirely from abroad. Do I have to mail my original documents internationally? No. For most document types, we work from a scanned copy using the True Copy method. You upload a clear scan of your document online, and we handle the rest. You do not need to send your original passport, birth certificate, or other irreplaceable documents through international mail. How long does international shipping take after the apostille is complete? International shipping through our tracked service ($87) typically takes 5 to 10 business days depending on your destination country and local customs processing. Once your apostille is complete, we ship the same or next business day. You will receive tracking information by email. My destination country requires a Tax ID for customs clearance. Do you handle that? Several countries (including Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, Mexico, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, and Turkey) require a recipient Tax ID number for customs clearance of mail from abroad. Please have your local Tax ID ready when placing your order so we can include it on the shipping label. Without it, packages may be delayed or returned at customs. How long does apostille processing take when I am overseas? State apostille processing takes 4 to 6 business days on Economy, 2 to 3 business days on Standard Priority, or 24 hours on Priority Express. Federal apostilles (FBI background checks and other federal documents) take 6 to 14 business days and cannot be expedited regardless of service tier. Add international shipping time on top of processing time for your total timeline. Do you offer certified translation for documents going to non-English-speaking countries? Yes. We offer certified translation as an add-on for $97. Many countries require a certified translation of the apostilled document into the local language before it can be accepted by government offices, employers, or schools. You can add this service when submitting your order. What if I am on a visa deadline and need this processed urgently? If you are on a deadline, select Priority Express at checkout (24-hour processing for state documents). Contact us immediately through our free document review so we can assess your specific timeline and document type.

Here is the typical document map and how to apostille the whole set in one order without mailing a single original. [Start Your Document Package](https://apostilles.us/submit)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) From $149 per document · No hidden fees · Tracked shipping included Industry's Fastest 24-hour turnaround Official Apostille Hague compliant 120+ Countries Accepted worldwide 50+ States & Territories 120+ Countries Accepted 1-Day Express Available 100% Hague Compliant Italian citizenship by descent (jure sanguinis) is one of the most document-heavy applications there is. You are not apostilling one certificate; you are authenticating a chain of U.S. vital records that proves an unbroken line from your Italian-born ancestor down to you. Each U.S. birth, marriage, and death certificate in that line typically needs an apostille, and the consulate or comune then usually wants a certified Italian translation of each. You can apostille the entire set in a single order and keep every original: you upload scans, we produce a notarized true copy of each document, and the apostille is issued on that copy. The exact list is set by your consulate or comune, so confirm it against their current checklist. Documents ## The Document Map, by Generation Jure sanguinis works generation by generation. For each ancestor in your direct Italian line, and for you, you assemble a set of U.S. vital records. Use this as the typical map, then confirm the exact list with your consulate or comune. ### For each person in the line (and the applicant) - Birth certificate: the long-form certified birth record for every person in the direct line, including you. - Marriage certificate(s): for every marriage in the line that links one generation to the next. - Death certificate: where applicable, for ancestors who have passed away. - Divorce decrees or court records: if any marriage in the line ended in divorce or annulment, the decree or court record is usually required to document the chain. ### The Italian-born ancestor's federal records Applications also document the Italian ancestor's status: either U.S. naturalization records showing if and when they became a U.S. citizen, or proof that they never naturalized. These come from federal sources such as USCIS or NARA and are handled differently from state vital records because they originate with a federal agency. The correct path depends on the specific record you receive, so we confirm how to handle your naturalization or non-naturalization records during your free review, before you pay for anything. We do not guess on federal records. Tell us what USCIS or NARA sent you and we will map it to the correct apostille path. Where You File ## Applying at a U.S. Consulate vs Filing in Italy There are two common ways to file a jure sanguinis claim, and both rely on apostilled U.S. records. They differ mainly in where you submit and how translations are handled. Consulate ### Applying at a U.S. Italian consulate You book an appointment at the Italian consulate with jurisdiction over your U.S. address. Every U.S. vital record in your line is presented with an apostille. Translation practice varies from consulate to consulate, so confirm your consulate's current checklist before translating. Appointment availability differs widely by consulate, which is why having the apostilled set ready in advance matters. In Italy ### Filing directly in an Italian comune You establish residency in a comune and file your claim with the local registrar. Every U.S. vital record still needs an apostille before it is presented. Comuni generally expect a certified Italian translation of each apostilled document, usually completed after the apostille. Requirements can vary from one comune to the next, so confirm with the specific comune where you intend to file. Consulate and comune requirements genuinely vary and change over time. Treat this page as the typical starting point and verify the current checklist with your specific consulate or comune before you order or translate anything. FBI background checks, where requested, use the separate Federal Apostille service. ## One Order, Not a Folder of Family Records A typical jure sanguinis application needs several apostilles once you count every birth, marriage, and death certificate across the generations. The old way is mailing a folder of irreplaceable family records to one or more state offices and hoping it all comes back. With us, you upload all the scans in one order. Every document is processed as a notarized true copy, so nothing irreplaceable is mailed, and each document is tracked through to completion. Because these are multi-document orders, the pricing page shows the per-document cost as you add documents, with certified translation and tracked international shipping available in the same order. One tracked order for the whole family line beats mailing a stack of certificates you can never replace. [See pricing for multi-document orders](https://apostilles.us/pricing) ## Do These Apostilles Expire? The apostille itself has no built-in expiration date. It is a permanent authentication of the signature and seal on the document. Citizenship applications generally rely on vital records that document historical events (a birth, a marriage, a death) that do not change, which is different from visa applications, where a background check has a tight freshness window. Some consulates and comuni do apply their own recency preferences for certified copies of vital records, and those preferences vary. Confirm your consulate's or comune's rule before ordering. If a recent certified copy is required, obtain that copy first, then apostille it; we apostille whichever copies you provide. Last verified: June 2026 ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail.

They answered all my questions promptly and the process went very smoothly and fast. Thank you again!” M ML Trustpilot review [Read Apostilles.us reviews](https://apostilles.us/reviews) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Which U.S. documents need apostilles for jure sanguinis? Typically every U.S. vital record in your direct Italian line: birth certificates for each person including you, marriage certificates for each marriage that links the generations, death certificates where applicable, and divorce decrees or court records if any marriage ended. You also document your Italian ancestor's naturalization status with federal records. The exact set depends on your line and your consulate or comune, which we confirm during the free review. Do I need an apostille for every generation? Generally yes. Jure sanguinis is about proving an unbroken line, so each generation's linking documents (births and marriages, plus deaths and divorces where they apply) usually need to be apostilled. The number of documents grows with how many generations back your Italian ancestor is, which is why applicants often apostille many documents in a single order. Do apostilles for Italian citizenship expire? The apostille itself has no expiration date. Citizenship applications generally rely on vital records that document historical events. Some consulates and comuni apply their own recency preferences for certified copies, and those vary, so confirm the rule with your consulate or comune before ordering. Should I apostille first or translate first? Usually apostille first, then translate. Comuni generally expect a certified Italian translation that covers the apostille, so the apostille has to exist before the translation is produced. If you translate first and apostille second, the translation may have to be redone to cover the apostille. Consulate practice on translations varies, so confirm your consulate's order of operations. Can you handle all my family documents in one order? Yes. You upload scans of every document in your line, we process each as a notarized true copy and obtain the apostille, and we track the full set through to completion. You keep every original because nothing is mailed to us. What about my ancestor's naturalization records? Naturalization records (or proof of non-naturalization) come from federal sources like USCIS or NARA and are handled differently from state vital records. The correct apostille path depends on the specific record you receive. Send us what the agency provided and we will confirm the right handling during your free review before you pay. We do not guess on federal records. Do you ship to Italy? Yes. We ship the finished, apostilled set to you with tracking, whether you are still in the United States or already established in a comune in Italy. International delivery times and any customs handling depend on the destination. Can translation be included? Yes. Certified translation is available as a separate service and can be added to the same order once the apostilles are complete. ## Related Resources [Apostille for Italy (General Country Guide)](https://apostilles.us/apostille-for-italy)[Apostille for Citizenship by Descent (All Countries)](https://apostilles.us/citizenship-by-descent-apostille)[Apostille a Birth Certificate](https://apostilles.us/apostille-birth-certificate)[Apostille a Marriage Certificate](https://apostilles.us/apostille-marriage-certificate)[Apostille Without Sending Your Original](https://apostilles.us/apostille-without-sending-original)[Certified and Sworn Translation](https://apostilles.us/certified-translation)[Pricing for Multi-Document Orders](https://apostilles.us/pricing)[Start Your Document Package](https://apostilles.us/submit) Ready When You Are ## Apostille Your Whole Italian Line in One Order Upload scans of every document in your jure sanguinis package and we apostille the full set, keep your originals safe, and track everything to completion.

FBI background checks use the separate Federal Apostille intake. ## Why People Search for This Most people who land here have one specific fear: mailing an irreplaceable document and never getting it back. A birth certificate lost in transit can take months to replace. A foreign diploma or a deceased relative's death certificate may be impossible to reissue at all. That fear is reasonable, and it is the main reason people look for an apostille service that does not require the original. The standard flow at most mail-in services still asks you to ship your physical originals both ways, then trust that they arrive, get processed, and come home safely. We built our process around the opposite default: you keep your documents, we work from a notarized true copy. Here is why that matters. Your original document never enters the postal system, so it cannot be lost, delayed, or damaged in transit. There is no replacement scramble if a package goes missing, because nothing irreplaceable was ever mailed. You can apostille a document you physically cannot part with, such as a passport you still need to travel on or a single surviving copy of an old record. You start the entire order from your phone or computer in minutes instead of printing forms and standing in line at the post office. If a destination authority later asks for the apostille on the physical original instead, you still have your original in hand and ready to use. How It Works ## How It Works Three steps, no trips to the post office, and your original stays on your desk the whole time. 1 ### Upload a clear scan Submit a color scan or PDF of your full document, all pages, through our secure portal. A phone photo works if every line is legible and the edges are not cut off. Takes about 2 minutes 2 ### We print and notarize a true copy We print your scan and a notary executes a certified true copy statement, attesting under their commission that the printout is a true and complete copy of the document you provided. This notarized packet is what gets apostilled. Same-day processing available 3 ### The apostille is issued and shipped to you For True Copy Processing, the state apostille authenticates the notary's certification. FBI background checks use the separate Federal Apostille intake. We ship the completed document with tracking selected in the order. Domestic and international delivery A True Copy apostille authenticates the notary's signature and seal on the copy certification. It does not authenticate the issuing signature on the source document. ## When You DO Need to Mail the Original Original Document Processing is an established service path for customers who choose to send the physical document. - Original Document Processing is available as a separate service when you choose to send the physical document.

Correct. True Copy State processing starts from your uploaded scan, so your original stays with you. Original Document Processing is also available as a separate service.

Can you apostille a photo of a document taken with my phone? Yes, as long as the photo is clear, well lit, and shows the entire document with every line legible and no edges cut off. A flatbed or phone scanner usually gives cleaner results, but a careful phone photo is acceptable. If the quality is too low to certify, we will ask you for a better scan before processing. How fast is it? True Copy State tiers are 4–6 business days, 2–3 business days, or 1 business day. Federal Original and FBI Federal Apostille processing are estimated at 6–14 business days with no expedited federal tier. Shipping time is separate. What does it cost? The true copy apostille is $149 per document on Economy Standard, plus a $19 government processing and handling fee per document. There is no inbound shipping cost because you do not mail anything to us. Faster tiers and bulk pricing for multi-document orders are available. What about an FBI background check apostille? FBI background checks use our Federal Apostille service. Upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website, or send the original physical FBI document. A scan or photocopy of a printed report is not used for federal processing. What if I lost my original document? If you still have a scan or photocopy, start with True Copy Processing.

But a notarized true copy (copia fiel certificada, a copy certified by a notary or the document custodian) can, and that is exactly what our service produces from your uploaded scan. The apostille is placed on the notary's certification of the copy, which is a valid public act under the Hague Convention. ## The Three Kinds of "Copy" The word copy means three very different things in apostille work. Knowing which one you have is the difference between approval and rejection. ### Plain photocopy Start with True Copy Processing A bare photocopy has no public signature or certification for an apostille to authenticate. Our True Copy State service adds the notarial copy certification that the state apostille authenticates. ### Certified copy from the issuing authority Apostille-ready A copy issued and stamped by the office that holds the record, such as a state vital records office or county clerk for birth, marriage, and death certificates. The office attests that the copy matches its records and signs it under seal, which is the public act the apostille authenticates. If a certified copy is what you already have, a scan of it works in our process just like any other document. ### Notarized true copy Apostille-ready A copy that a notary certifies, under their commission, as a true and complete reproduction of the document you provided. The apostille then authenticates the notary's signature and seal. This is the public act used by our True Copy State service. FBI background checks instead use our Federal Apostille service. ## Which Kind of Copy Does Your Document Need? Match your document to the column that applies. When the right path is a notarized true copy, you can do the whole thing online with us from a scan. Document type What kind of copy works Notes Birth, marriage, or death certificate Notarized true copy from your scan Upload a scan of the certificate you have and we print, notarize a true copy, and apostille it. No copy at all? Order a replacement from the records office (or use our document retrieval service) and upload that scan. Diploma or transcript Notarized true copy from your scan Upload the scan; we print, notarize a true copy, and apostille it. No need to risk mailing the only copy of a foreign or older diploma. FBI background check The PDF itself, federal apostille Upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website, or send the original physical FBI document. A scan or photocopy of a printed report is not used for federal processing. Power of attorney or affidavit Notarize, then apostille These are signed before a notary, then the notarized document is apostilled. We can coordinate remote online notarization if you have not signed yet. Corporate or business document Notarized true copy from your scan Articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing, and similar documents are commonly processed as notarized true copies from your upload. Original Document Processing is available as a separate service when you want the physical document handled. ## Why Government Pages Say "Originals or Certified Copies Only" Read a Secretary of State or state.gov apostille page and you will often see a line like "we apostille originals or certified copies only." Many people read that and conclude a copy can never be apostilled at all. That is not what the line means. The instruction describes the direct-submission path: what a member of the public can mail straight to that office for an apostille. For that specific channel, it is completely accurate, because if you mail in a bare photocopy the office has nothing to authenticate. What those pages do not spell out is that a service can lawfully perform the certification step for you first, producing a document the state can then apostille. The certified copy still exists and is fully legitimate; it is simply created by a notary acting as a custodian of the copy, or ordered from the records office, rather than mailed in raw by you. It is the same legal mechanism the government page assumes, just completed before submission and packaged so you never have to part with your original. That is why "originals or certified copies only" and "you can apostille a copy through a service" are both true at the same time. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail. [How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) How It Works ## How to Apostille a Copy With Us Three steps, fully online, with your original document staying in your hands. 1 ### Upload a clear scan or PDF Send a legible color scan or PDF of the full document through our secure portal. For federal FBI processing, upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website. Takes about 2 minutes 2 ### We create the notarized true copy A notary certifies your printout as a true and complete copy of what you provided, creating the public act the apostille will authenticate. Same-day processing available 3 ### The apostille is issued and shipped For True Copy Processing, the state issues the apostille on the notary's certification. FBI background checks use the separate Federal Apostille intake. We ship the completed document with tracking selected in the order. Domestic and international delivery FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Can a photocopy be apostilled? Not by itself. A plain photocopy has no signature or seal from a public official, so there is nothing for the state to authenticate. To apostille a copy, it must first become a certified copy from the issuing office or a notarized true copy certified by a notary. We produce the notarized true copy from your scan for most document types. Can a notarized copy of a birth certificate be apostilled? Yes. A notary certifies the copy as a true and complete reproduction of the certificate you provide, and the apostille authenticates that certification. That is exactly how we process birth certificates from your uploaded scan, so your original never goes in the mail. What is a certified true copy for an apostille? A certified true copy (copia fiel certificada) is a copy that an authorized person attests is a true and complete reproduction of the source document. For a notarized true copy, a notary makes that attestation under their commission. For a certified copy of a vital record, the records office itself issues and stamps the copy. Either certification gives the state a public act it can apostille. Do all countries accept true copy apostilles? A True Copy apostille authenticates the notary's certification of the copy. Original Document Processing and Federal Apostille are also available as separate service paths. Can I apostille a scan or a photo from my phone? Yes, as long as the image is clear and shows the entire document with every line legible and no edges cut off. We turn that upload into a notarized true copy for processing. If the quality is too low to certify, we will ask for a better scan before we proceed. How much does it cost to apostille a copy? Our notarized true copy apostille is $149 per document on the Economy Standard tier, plus a $19 government processing and handling fee per document. Because you upload a scan rather than mailing an original, there is no inbound shipping cost. Faster tiers and bulk pricing are available. How long does it take? True Copy State tiers are 4–6 business days, 2–3 business days, or 1 business day. Federal Original and FBI Federal Apostille processing are estimated at 6–14 business days with no expedited federal tier. Shipping time is separate. How do I start? Upload a scan through our secure portal for True Copy Processing, choose Original Document Processing to send the physical document, or use the Federal Apostille intake for an FBI background check. ## Related Resources [Apostille Without Sending Your Original](https://apostilles.us/apostille-without-sending-original)[True Copy vs Original Apostille Explained](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original)[Browse Documents We Apostille](https://apostilles.us/document-types)[Start Your Apostille Order](https://apostilles.us/submit) Ready When You Are ## Turn Your Copy Into an Apostilled Document Upload a scan for True Copy Processing, send the physical document for Original Document Processing, or use the Federal Apostille intake for an FBI background check.

For True Copy State processing, you upload the file, a notary certifies the copy, and the state apostille authenticates that certification. FBI background checks use the separate Federal Apostille intake for the original downloadable FBI PDF or original physical FBI document. ## E-Apostille vs Scan-Based Processing Searchers conflate these two ideas constantly, and almost no U.S. page explains the difference clearly. They are not the same thing, and knowing which one you actually need saves a lot of confusion. An e-apostille is a digitally issued apostille certificate: the issuing authority produces the apostille itself as a signed electronic file rather than as a paper attachment. Only some authorities issue e-apostilles, only for certain document types, and only some receiving countries and institutions accept them. There is no single nationwide U.S. e-apostille program, so for most American documents an e-apostille is simply not an option, and even where it exists the destination may refuse it. Scan-based True Copy processing is different. You upload a scan or PDF, a notary certifies the copy, the state apostille authenticates that certification, and we ship the completed packet with tracking selected in the order. Aspect E-apostille Scan-based processing (what we do) What goes in A digital document, where a participating authority allows it. A scan or PDF you upload from anywhere. What comes out A signed electronic apostille file. A physical, ink-and-seal apostille packet shipped to you. Who issues it Only certain authorities, for certain document types. The Secretary of State or U.S. Department of State, in the traditional paper form. Service format Only countries and institutions that accept electronic apostilles. Physical state apostille on the notary's certification. Bottom line: when people ask about an e-apostille in the USA, what they almost always want is the result of scan-based processing: start online, receive a real apostille. That is exactly what we deliver. ## Which Digital Documents Work If you have a clear scan, a PDF, or even a sharp phone photo, there is almost certainly a path. The processing route depends on the document type. FBI background check PDF: issued electronically by the FBI, apostilled by the U.S. Department of State on the federal path. Upload the PDF exactly as you received it; no true copy step and nothing mailed. Diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, and corporate documents: we print your scan and a notary certifies it as a notarized true copy, then the apostille is issued on that certification. Your original stays with you. Phone photos: acceptable when the image is fully legible, shows the entire document, and no edges are cut off. If a photo is too dark or blurry to certify, we will ask for a better scan before we proceed. FBI background check (PDF) Federal path, U.S. Department of State, apostilled as-is. Upload the PDF. Diploma or transcript (scan) Notarized true copy from your scan, then state apostille. Power of attorney (scan) Notarized true copy or notarized signature, then state apostille. Corporate or business document (scan) Notarized true copy from your scan, then state apostille. Phone photo of any of the above Accepted if fully legible; processed on the same path as a scan. Digital document · How it is apostilled How It Works ## How Scan-Based Apostille Works Three steps, fully online, with the apostille arriving as a real physical packet. 1 ### Upload your scan or PDF Send a legible color scan, a PDF, or a clear phone photo of the full document through our secure portal. For an FBI background check, upload the PDF you received. Takes about 2 minutes 2 ### We prepare the document for the authority For most documents a notary certifies a printout of your upload as a true copy. Electronically issued federal documents like an FBI report skip this step and go straight to the federal path. Same-day processing available 3 ### The apostille is issued and shipped The Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State issues the physical apostille, and we ship the finished packet to you with tracking. Domestic and international delivery ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail. [How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I apostille a PDF? Yes. True Copy State processing starts with a PDF or scan and authenticates the notary's copy certification. An FBI background check uses the Federal Apostille intake for the original downloadable FBI PDF or original physical FBI document. Can I apostille a scanned document? Yes. Upload a clear scan of the full document and we handle the rest: a notarized true copy where one is needed, then the apostille from the state or federal authority. The finished, apostilled packet ships to you. You never have to mail your original. What is an e-apostille? An e-apostille is a digitally issued apostille certificate: the authority produces the apostille as a signed electronic file rather than a paper attachment. Only some authorities issue them, only for certain document types, and only some countries accept them. There is no single nationwide U.S. e-apostille program, which is why most American documents follow the traditional paper apostille route. Do all countries accept e-apostilles? Apostilles.us offers a scan-based True Copy State service that produces a physical apostille. Original Document Processing and Federal Apostille are separate service paths. Can I email you my document? Please upload your document through our secure portal rather than by email so your information stays encrypted and organized with your order. The portal accepts scans, PDFs, and phone photos. If you only have an emailed PDF, such as an FBI report, just upload that file when you start your order. Is a photo from my phone good enough? Often, yes. A phone photo works if it is sharp, shows the entire document, and has no glare or cut-off edges. We need every line legible to certify a true copy. If the photo quality is too low, we will ask for a cleaner scan before we proceed, so nothing is wasted. How much does it cost to apostille a scanned document? Our notarized true copy apostille is $149 per document on the Economy Standard tier, plus a $19 government processing and handling fee per document. Because you upload a scan instead of mailing an original, there is no inbound shipping cost. Faster tiers and bulk pricing for multi-document orders are available. How do I start?

You Can Still Get an Apostille Losing the original does not block the apostille. There are two clear paths forward, and both finish online. [Start Your Order](https://apostilles.us/submit)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) From $149 per document · No hidden fees · Tracked shipping included Industry's Fastest 24-hour turnaround Official Apostille Hague compliant 120+ Countries Accepted worldwide 50+ States & Territories 120+ Countries Accepted 1-Day Express Available 100% Hague Compliant Losing your original document does not block the apostille. There are two clear paths. If you still have a scan or a photocopy of the lost document, you can usually upload it and we produce a notarized true copy (copia fiel certificada, true copy) and apostille that, with nothing mailed. If you have no copy at all, you order a fresh replacement from the issuing source, or have us retrieve it for you, and then upload the scan. Either way you can still get your apostille, and most of the process happens entirely online. A Path A ## You Still Have a Scan or Photocopy of the Lost Document This is the easiest situation, and it is more common than people expect. Most of us have a phone photo, an old email attachment, or a photocopy of an important document sitting in a folder somewhere, even after the paper original is gone. That copy is usually all we need to start. Upload whatever you have through our secure portal. We print it, a notary certifies the printout as a true and complete copy, and the apostille is issued on that notarized copy. For most documents this is all you need, and you never have to track down the lost paper or order anything new. A scan, PDF, or clear phone photo of the lost document is usually enough to begin. We print your upload and a notary certifies it as a notarized true copy, which is the public act the apostille authenticates. Diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, corporate documents, and FBI background check PDFs all work directly from your copy. Nothing is mailed and nothing is risked, because the apostille is issued on the certified copy we produce, not on your lost original. B Path B ## You Have No Copy at All to Scan If the document is gone and you do not have any scan, photo, or photocopy of it, the move is simply to obtain a fresh replacement first, then upload the scan of that replacement to us. A replacement is a new, official copy from the source that holds the record, and it works in our process exactly like any other document. For vital records (birth, marriage, and death certificates) the source is the state or county vital records office. For diplomas and transcripts it is your school's registrar. For an FBI background check it is a fresh Identity History Summary PDF from the FBI. Once you have the replacement in hand, scan it, upload it, and we handle the notarized true copy and the apostille from there. ### We Can Obtain the Replacement For You Do not want to navigate vital records offices, registrar request forms, and mailing timelines yourself? Our document retrieval service can order the replacement on your behalf, then move straight into producing the true copy and the apostille. One order, one point of contact, and you skip the paperwork entirely. [See our document retrieval service](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval) Document type Where a replacement comes from Typical replacement fee Birth, marriage, or death certificate State or county vital records office where the event occurred. Typically $20 to $40 from state offices. Diploma or transcript Your school's registrar or alumni records office. Registrar fees vary by institution. FBI background check A fresh Identity History Summary PDF from the FBI. FBI Identity History Summary is $18. Last verified: June 2026 Then upload the scan of your replacement to us, and we produce the notarized true copy and obtain the apostille. We can retrieve the replacement for you if you prefer not to handle it yourself. ## Visa Appointments and Citizenship Deadlines Do Not Wait When you have lost a document, the slowest step is almost always getting the replacement, not the apostille. If you have a consulate appointment, a citizenship filing window, or a job start date abroad, the smart move is to order the replacement first, today, because that is the part with a real wait time. Once the replacement is on its way, the rest runs online: you upload the scan, we produce the notarized true copy, the authority issues the apostille, and we ship the finished packet to you with tracking. Starting the replacement order early is what protects your deadline. Let us retrieve it for you and that clock starts sooner. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail. [How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I get an apostille if I lost my original birth certificate? Yes. If you still have a scan or photocopy of the birth certificate, upload it and we produce a notarized true copy and apostille that, with nothing mailed. If you have no copy at all, order a fresh certified copy from the state or county vital records office, or have us retrieve it for you, then upload the scan and we handle the rest. Can you apostille a photocopy of a lost document? Yes, for most document types. We print your photocopy or scan and a notary certifies the printout as a true and complete copy, then the apostille is issued on that certification. This works for diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, corporate documents, and FBI background check PDFs, so you do not need the lost paper original. What if I have no copy at all? Then order a fresh replacement from the source that holds the record: the vital records office for a birth, marriage, or death certificate; your school's registrar for a diploma or transcript; the FBI for a new background check PDF. Once you have it, upload the scan and we produce the notarized true copy and obtain the apostille. We can also retrieve the replacement for you. Can you order the replacement for me? Yes. Our document retrieval service can request the replacement from the issuing source on your behalf, then move straight into producing the true copy and the apostille. That means one order and one point of contact, and you skip the request forms and mailing logistics entirely. Does the apostille go on the replacement or the copy? The apostille goes on whatever certified document we submit. If you upload a copy, we create a notarized true copy and the apostille authenticates the notary's certification. If you order a fresh replacement, we make a notarized true copy of that replacement and apostille it. In both cases the apostille is placed on a properly certified document, which is what makes it valid abroad. How long does this take? If you already have a copy to upload, processing follows our normal tiers: Economy Standard runs about 4 to 6 business days, with faster options available. If you need a replacement first, the wait depends on the issuing office; that step is usually the longest part, which is why we recommend ordering the replacement immediately, or letting us retrieve it for you. What does it cost? Our notarized true copy apostille is $149 per document on the Economy Standard tier, plus a $19 government processing and handling fee per document. If a replacement is needed, the issuing office charges its own fee (commonly $20 to $40 for vital records, $18 for an FBI Identity History Summary), and document retrieval is quoted separately. We confirm the full cost during your free review. ## Related Resources [Document Retrieval Service](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval)[Apostille Without Sending Your Original](https://apostilles.us/apostille-without-sending-original)[Can You Apostille a Copy of a Document?](https://apostilles.us/can-you-apostille-a-copy)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) Ready When You Are ## Lost Document?

The first is the government fee, the amount the issuing authority charges to place the apostille, which is commonly about $10 to $40 per document depending on the state. The second, if you use a service, is the service fee, which across the market runs roughly $75 to $275 per document. Our flat price combines into one number: $149 per document plus a $19 government processing and handling fee, which is $168 all-in per document, with no inbound shipping because you upload a scan instead of mailing an original. ## Government Fees, Explained The government fee is set by the office that issues the apostille: the Secretary of State for state documents, or the U.S. Department of State for federal documents. It is a per-document fee and it varies. Here are a few verified examples so you can see the typical range. Anchor examples of government apostille fees (per document) Issuing authority Government fee per document Texas Secretary of State [Texas Secretary of State](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml) $15 per document California Secretary of State [California Secretary of State](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/request-apostille) $20 per document New York Department of State [New York Department of State](https://dos.ny.gov/apostille-certificate-authentication) $10 per document U.S. Department of State (federal documents) [U.S. Department of State](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/records-and-authentications/authenticate-your-document/office-of-authentications.html) $20 per document Last verified: June 2026 These are independently verified anchor examples, not a complete list.

For the fee, processing time, and rules in a specific state, use our state directory: [See apostille details by state](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-state) ## Service Fees, Explained If you hire a service to handle the apostille for you, you pay a service fee on top of (or, in our case, including) the government fee. Across the U.S. market, service fees commonly run roughly $75 to $275 per document. The wide range reflects different speeds, different inclusions, and very different billing structures. We compared the major services side by side, line by line, including what each one charges and what each one leaves out. [See our detailed service comparison](https://apostilles.us/compare) ### What is usually NOT included in a quoted service fee Shipping both ways: many services quote the apostille fee but bill outbound shipping (and sometimes the inbound shipping of your original) separately. Government fees: some quotes exclude the state or federal fee, which is then added at the end. Notarization: when a document needs to be notarized before it can be apostilled, that notary fee may be a separate line item. Our $168 all-in is the opposite of that: one number, government processing and handling included, with no inbound shipping because you upload a scan. ## Our Pricing, in Plain Numbers We price one way, the same way, for everyone. True copy apostille (Economy Standard) $149 per document Government processing and handling $19 per document All-in per document $168 Inbound shipping $0 (you upload a scan) Multi-document orders cost less per document. If you are apostilling a stack of records for a citizenship or visa application, the price per document drops as the count rises. The pricing page has a calculator that shows your exact total before you order. [See full pricing and the bulk calculator](https://apostilles.us/pricing) ## Is It Cheaper to Do It Yourself? In raw dollars, yes, IF you have the time. Going directly to the issuing office means you pay only the government fee, which on its own is about $10 to $40 per document. What you trade for that saving is your time and your certainty. The do-it-yourself path means preparing the form, paying the applicable government fee, and handling delivery. Apostilles.us offers True Copy State, Original Document, and Federal Apostille processing. A service buys you three things the government fee alone does not: speed, correct routing, and, in our case, the ability to keep your original at home because we work from a notarized true copy of your scan.

An apostille is a standardized one-page certificate, usually attached to your document, titled APOSTILLE with a French Hague Convention reference and ten numbered fields. Here is an annotated example. [Start Your Order](https://apostilles.us/submit)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) Industry's Fastest 24-hour turnaround [95%](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/apostilles.us) 5-star Trustpilot Official Apostille Hague compliant An apostille is a standardized one-page certificate, most often attached to your document as an added page. At the top it carries the single word APOSTILLE, and directly beneath it the French line Convention de La Haye du 5 octobre 1961. Below that sit ten numbered fields that identify your document, the official who signed it, and the authority issuing the apostille, finished with an official seal or stamp and a signature. Because the layout is defined by the 1961 Hague Convention, an apostille looks broadly similar in every member country, even though the paper, color, and exact placement vary by the issuing authority. Illustrative example only; the exact layout, paper, and wording vary slightly by issuing authority. This is a generic diagram, not any specific state's certificate. ## The Ten Numbered Fields, Explained Every Hague apostille uses the same ten standardized fields. The issuing authority fills them in. Here is what each one certifies. 1 ### Country Names the country where the apostille is issued, for a U.S. document this reads United States of America. It confirms the apostille comes from a Hague Convention member state. 2 ### Has been signed by The name of the official whose signature appears on your underlying document, for example the notary, county clerk, or vital records registrar. The apostille authenticates that person's signature, not the contents of the document. 3 ### Acting in the capacity of The official role or title of the person in field 2, such as Notary Public or Deputy Registrar. It establishes that the signer had authority to sign. 4 ### Bears the seal / stamp of The office or authority whose seal appears on the underlying document. This ties the document to a recognized public office. 5 ### At The place where the apostille certificate itself is issued. Federal Original processing uses the U.S. Department of State. 6 ### The (date) The date the apostille is issued. Note that the apostille itself does not expire, though the receiving authority may have its own freshness rule for the document underneath. 7 ### By The authority issuing the apostille, a U.S. Secretary of State for state documents or the U.S. Department of State for federal ones. This is the office vouching for the official in field 2. 8 ### Certificate number A unique reference number for the apostille. The issuing authority records it, which is how a receiving party can later confirm the apostille is genuine. 9 ### Seal / stamp The official seal or stamp of the issuing authority, often embossed or printed in color. It is one of the main visual markers that distinguish a real apostille. 10 ### Signature The signature of the authorized official at the issuing authority. Together with the seal and certificate number, it completes the apostille. ## How Apostilles Vary in Appearance The ten fields are standardized, but the packaging is not. These are the differences you are most likely to notice. ### Attached page vs stamp on the document Most U.S. authorities issue the apostille as a separate cover page attached to your document with a grommet, ribbon, or staple. Some print the apostille as a stamp or imprint directly onto the document. Both are valid. ### Paper, color, and size vary by state Different states use different paper stock, security backgrounds, seal colors, and page sizes. Two genuine apostilles from two states can look quite different while carrying the same ten fields. ### Federal apostilles look different from state ones A federal apostille from the U.S. Department of State has its own layout and seal and will not match a state Secretary of State apostille. The numbered fields are the same; the styling is not. ### Some authorities issue e-apostilles A growing number of authorities issue an electronic apostille (e-apostille) as a digitally signed PDF rather than a paper page. The fields are identical; the format is digital. [How a scanned or PDF document gets apostilled](https://apostilles.us/apostille-scanned-document) ## How to Check That an Apostille Is Genuine Because apostilles look different from state to state, the reliable way to confirm one is real is not the styling, it is the record behind it. The issuing authority records the certificate number (field 8) when it issues the apostille, so a genuine apostille is traceable back to that office. Many issuing authorities offer a way to verify an apostille by phone or through an online lookup against the certificate number; the availability and method differ by authority. The authority that receives your document abroad can confirm the apostille directly with the issuing authority that produced it. Treat the seal, signature, and certificate number together as the things that matter, not the paper color or exact layout, which legitimately vary. ## What You Receive From Us When we handle your order, the finished apostille certificate is attached to the notarized true copy of your document, forming a single packet.

An apostille is a standardized one-page certificate, usually attached to your document as an extra page. It is titled APOSTILLE with the French line Convention de La Haye du 5 octobre 1961 beneath it, followed by ten numbered fields, an official seal or stamp, and a signature.

Your physical packet still needs return shipping. Notarization, translation, FBI federal processing, record retrieval, and original-document routing each have their own additional clock. Processing Paths ## A complete path for every document We can process any document. The document type determines which preparation and government timeline applies, while one order covers the complete service. Fastest path ### State and true copy documents As little as 1 business day Birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, court records, and most federal documents can use our true copy process with Priority Express. Add preparation time ### Needs notarization or translation Add about 1 business day per step Preparation happens before apostille processing. Notarization and translation run sequentially when both are needed. Federal route ### FBI background check Estimated 6 to 14 business days An FBI report can be processed as a true copy, but acceptance is low. We therefore process FBI background checks federally through the U.S. Department of State. Separate clock ### Record must be retrieved Retrieval time comes first A missing birth certificate, court record, or other source document must be obtained before the apostille clock begins. Plan Backward ## The four clocks between order and delivery A realistic arrival date is the sum of four separate stages. Weekends and holidays matter at every stage. 1 ### Intake We receive your complete document and place it into the correct processing path. 2 ### Preparation Any required notary or translation step is completed before apostille processing. 3 ### Apostille The issuing authority processes the apostille.

These external government, preparation, and delivery clocks are added to the service timeline and cannot be shortened by selecting a faster tier. Before You Order ## Give the rush path the best chance to work - Upload every page at full size with all seals, signatures, and borders visible. - Tell us the destination country and the date the receiving authority needs the physical document. - Tell us if your receiving authority has instructed that the apostille be placed on the original document. - Include any translation or notarization need from the start so it is included in the calendar. - Use a business-day delivery address and allow time for the carrier to collect the completed packet. [Start a Rush Order](https://apostilles.us/submit) FAQ ## Rush apostille questions Compare processing speeds for every document path. [See Processing Times](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) Can I get an apostille the same day? State and true copy documents can use one-business-day Priority Express processing, and a few state offices publish same-day counter service. Same-day processing is separate from physical delivery. Preparation, government office hours, and shipping still affect the arrival date. What is the fastest apostille service available? Priority Express is our fastest service tier, estimated at one business day for ready state and true copy documents. FBI background checks, record retrieval, and original-document cases are fully processed through their applicable timelines. How much does a one-day apostille cost? Priority Express true copy processing is $249 per document, plus a $19 Government Processing and Handling fee per document and separately selected shipping. Original Protocol is priced differently and follows the issuing state's timeline. Does one business day include overnight shipping? No. The processing window and carrier transit are separate. A one-business-day processing tier tells you when apostille work is estimated to finish, not when the physical packet reaches your address. Can an FBI background check apostille be expedited? An FBI Identity History Summary can be processed through true copy, but that pathway has a low acceptance rate. We therefore use the federal apostille route through the U.S. Department of State, with an estimated 6 to 14 business day processing window that cannot be expedited. Do I need to prove that my request is urgent? You do not need to prove urgency to purchase a service tier. Government counter rules vary by state, so check the linked authority instructions for any appointment or document limits. Can I rush an apostille if my document needs notarization? Yes, but notarization is a preparation step before apostille processing and generally adds about one business day. If translation is also required, count that as another preparation step. What happens if my deadline is shorter than the published timeline? We process the order through the fastest applicable path. A Completion Scan can show that the apostille work is finished while the physical packet is in transit, but the scan does not replace the original physical apostille when the recipient requires it. ## Plan the rest of the process [Compare all processing times](https://apostilles.us/processing-times)[See complete apostille pricing](https://apostilles.us/pricing)[Understand federal apostille preparation](https://apostilles.us/how-to-prepare-documents-for-federal-apostille)[Learn when an original must be mailed](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) Ready When You Are ## Have a hard deadline?

Search the authority's public register when one exists, or ask that office to confirm its registry entry.

U.S. apostilles vary by state and federal authority. The reliable test is whether the competent authority named on the certificate can match its number and date to the record it keeps under Article 7 of the Hague Apostille Convention. Six-Point Check ## Verify the certificate in this order STEP 1 ### Identify the issuing authority Read field 7, labeled By. It should name a state authority, the U.S. Department of State, Passport Services, or an authorized federal court clerk. STEP 2 ### Read the certificate number Field 8 contains the unique apostille or certificate number. Copy it exactly, including letters, spaces, and leading zeros. STEP 3 ### Read the issue date Field 6 contains the date. Most public e-registers require both the number and date to prevent open-ended searches. STEP 4 ### Use the correct official register Open the direct state lookup below if one is available. Do not enter document details into an unrelated third-party verification site. STEP 5 ### Compare the returned record The result should match the number, date, signer or underlying authority, and capacity shown on the document packet. STEP 6 ### Contact the issuer if needed No online result does not automatically mean fake. Older records and many U.S. authorities require a phone or written registry check.

verified Apostilles.us can process most federal documents through our true copy path. FBI background checks can also use true copy, but acceptance is low, so we process FBI reports federally through the U.S. Department of State. Existing federal apostilles are verified with the authority named on the certificate. ### Most federal documents We process most federally issued records through a notarized true copy and state apostille path. ### FBI background checks Because true copy acceptance is low for FBI reports, we use the federal U.S. Department of State route. ### Existing federal apostilles Verify an existing certificate with the U.S. Department of State, Passport Services, or federal court clerk named in field 7. [U.S. competent-authority directory](https://www.hcch.net/en/states/authorities/details3/?aid=353)[U.S. Department of State authentication guidance](https://travel.state.gov/en/replace-certify/authenticate-documents.html) What to Compare ## The fields that should agree An online hit is useful only when it matches the certificate and the attached public document. 6 ### Issue date Must match the date used in the register search. 7 ### Issuing authority Must be competent for the state, federal agency, consular record, or court involved. 8 ### Certificate number Must match exactly. A close number is not a match. 9 ### Seal or stamp Should belong to the authority named in field 7 and show no obvious alteration. 10 ### Authorized signature Should be the issuing official's signature, not the signer of the underlying document. 2-4 ### Underlying signer and seal Should describe the official, capacity, and seal on the document attached to the apostille. Know the Limit ## What verification proves, and what it does not ### A successful check supports - That the named authority issued an apostille with that number and date - That the recorded signer, capacity, or seal aligns with the underlying public document - For some e-apostilles, that the digital file has not changed since issuance ### It does not prove - That every statement inside the underlying document is true - That the receiving institution will accept the document for its intended purpose - That a photocopy, detached certificate, edited scan, or reassembled packet is valid - That the apostille came from the correct authority when the document was routed incorrectly Tampering and Fraud ## Stop and contact the issuer when you see these signs The certificate number or date does not match the official record Field 7 names an authority that does not issue apostilles for that jurisdiction or document Pages appear detached, substituted, cropped, re-stapled, or digitally edited The seal, signature, or numbered fields overlap obvious changes in font, spacing, or background A seller asks you to verify through a private link instead of the issuing authority The receiving party was sent only a scan when it requires the attached physical packet Preserve the document as received. Do not remove staples, grommets, ribbons, or seals while investigating. Electronic Apostilles ## How to check an e-apostille PDF An e-apostille is electronically signed and linked to the underlying public document. Check the authority's e-register when available, then inspect the PDF's digital signature status. A valid signature should identify the issuing authority, remain unrevoked, and show that the file has not been altered after signing. - Open the original PDF, not a print-to-PDF copy or screenshot - Inspect the digital signature panel in a PDF reader - Confirm the certificate chain identifies the issuing authority - Use the authority's e-register or contact details for an independent match [HCCH guidance on e-apostille verification](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/specialised-sections/apostille) FAQ ## Apostille verification questions Official authority records outrank visual guesses and third-party databases. [HCCH e-register guidance](https://www.hcch.net/en/publications-and-studies/details4/?pid=5577) How can I verify an apostille online? Identify the authority in field 7, then use that authority's official e-register if one exists. Enter the exact certificate number from field 8 and date from field 6. Compare the result with the signer, capacity, and seal on the attached document. Is there one national U.S. apostille database? No. U.S. competent authorities keep separate registers. State documents are generally handled by a state authority, federal agency documents by the U.S. Department of State, and designated federal court records by court clerks. What if the state has no online apostille lookup? Contact the issuing authority listed on the certificate. Provide the apostille number, issue date, underlying signer or agency, and a copy if requested. A missing public search tool does not make the apostille invalid. Does no search result mean the apostille is fake? Not by itself. The number or date may have been entered incorrectly, the record may predate the public system, or the authority may verify older certificates manually. Contact the issuing office before concluding that it is fraudulent. The apostille names a different state than my document. Is it fake? Not on that basis. On the widely used notarized true copy pathway, the apostille is issued by the state where the certifying notary is commissioned, which is often not the state that issued the underlying document. The certificate is genuine if the authority named in field 7 confirms its number and date. If your receiving authority requires the apostille from the issuing state itself, that is a routing preference, not evidence of fraud. Can I verify an apostille by its seal? The seal is one checkpoint, not the final test. Paper, colors, embossed marks, and layouts vary. Verify the certificate number and date against the issuing authority's register or office record. Can the Hague Conference verify my apostille? No. The Hague Conference maintains Convention information and competent-authority details, but apostilles are issued and verified by the designated authority whose name appears on the certificate. What does an apostille verification confirm? It confirms the origin of the apostille and the registry particulars, including number and date and generally the underlying signer's name and capacity or the authority whose seal appears. It does not certify that the document's contents are true. How do I verify a federal apostille? For a federal agency document, contact the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications. For consular vital records, use Passport Services, Vital Records Section. For a federal court apostille, contact the clerk's office named on it. Should I remove the apostille to inspect the document? No. Do not detach or disturb the certificate, staples, grommets, ribbon, seals, or attached pages. The connection between the apostille and the underlying document is part of the packet's integrity. ## Understand the certificate [See an annotated apostille example](https://apostilles.us/what-does-an-apostille-look-like)[State vs federal apostille](https://apostilles.us/state-vs-federal-apostille)[Apostille requirements](https://apostilles.us/requirements)[Track an Apostilles.us order](https://apostilles.us/track) Ready When You Are ## Need a new apostille?

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Alabama Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through Alabama specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Alabama-specific route. [Switch to Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in Alabama? The Alabama Secretary of State in Montgomery issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Alabama, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings.

How long does the Alabama state office take to issue an apostille? The Alabama Secretary of State publishes a mail-in processing time of about 5 business days.

Our licensed notary certifies the printed copy, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary's certification.

Use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) when you need the physical document submitted through the Alabama-specific route.

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## California Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through California specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the California-specific route.

An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in California? The California Secretary of State in Sacramento issues apostilles for public documents that originate in California, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings.

How long does the California state office take to issue an apostille? The California Secretary of State publishes a mail-in processing time of about 3 weeks.

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Hawaii Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through Hawaii specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Hawaii-specific route. [Switch to Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in Hawaii? The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii in Honolulu issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Hawaii, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings. With True Copy Processing the apostille is issued by the state where our notary is commissioned instead, because it certifies the notary's signature rather than the Hawaii agency. Choose [Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) when the receiving party needs the apostille from Hawaii itself. How long does the Hawaii state office take to issue an apostille? The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii publishes a mail-in processing time of 7 to 10 business days. That figure is the state's own handling time, excludes transit to and from the office, and can change without notice. Our Express (1 business day), Standard (2-3 business days) and Economy (4-6 business days) tiers describe our handling for True Copy Processing. Original Document Processing depends on the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii's schedule plus shipping. [See processing details →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) Do I need to send my original Hawaii-issued document? In most cases, no. Upload a clear color scan through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies the printed copy, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary's certification. The state issuing a True Copy apostille may differ from Hawaii, because the apostille authenticates the notary rather than the source document. Use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) when you need the physical document submitted through the Hawaii-specific route. How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature. Does my document need notarization before the apostille? Government-issued vital records typically do not require additional notarization before Original Document Processing. True Copy Processing includes the copy-certification step. Private signed documents may require notarization. Our [remote online notary service](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary) can be added to an order. How long does it take to get a Hawaii document apostilled?

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Indiana Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through Indiana specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Indiana-specific route. [Switch to Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in Indiana? The Indiana Secretary of State in Indianapolis issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Indiana, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings.

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Oklahoma Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through Oklahoma specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Oklahoma-specific route. [Switch to Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in Oklahoma? The Oklahoma Secretary of State in Oklahoma City issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Oklahoma, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings.

True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification.

The South Carolina Secretary of State in Columbia issues apostilles for public documents that originate in South Carolina, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings.

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Utah Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through Utah specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Utah-specific route. [Switch to Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in Utah? The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah in Salt Lake City issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Utah, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings. With True Copy Processing the apostille is issued by the state where our notary is commissioned instead, because it certifies the notary's signature rather than the Utah agency. Choose [Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) when the receiving party needs the apostille from Utah itself. How long does the Utah state office take to issue an apostille? The Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah publishes a mail-in processing time of 3 to 5 business days. That figure is the state's own handling time, excludes transit to and from the office, and can change without notice. Our Express (1 business day), Standard (2-3 business days) and Economy (4-6 business days) tiers describe our handling for True Copy Processing. Original Document Processing depends on the Office of the Lieutenant Governor of Utah's schedule plus shipping. [See processing details →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) Do I need to send my original Utah-issued document? In most cases, no. Upload a clear color scan through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies the printed copy, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary's certification. The state issuing a True Copy apostille may differ from Utah, because the apostille authenticates the notary rather than the source document. Use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) when you need the physical document submitted through the Utah-specific route. How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature. Does my document need notarization before the apostille? Government-issued vital records typically do not require additional notarization before Original Document Processing. True Copy Processing includes the copy-certification step. Private signed documents may require notarization. Our [remote online notary service](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary) can be added to an order. How long does it take to get a Utah document apostilled?

[How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Wisconsin Apostille Questions ### Need your apostille issued through Wisconsin specifically? True Copy Processing may produce an apostille from a different state because it authenticates the notary's certification. Use Original Document Processing when you need the Wisconsin-specific route. [Switch to Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Who issues apostilles in Wisconsin? The Wisconsin Secretary of State in Madison issues apostilles for public documents that originate in Wisconsin, such as vital records, court documents and state-certified business filings. With True Copy Processing the apostille is issued by the state where our notary is commissioned instead, because it certifies the notary's signature rather than the Wisconsin agency. Choose [Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) when the receiving party needs the apostille from Wisconsin itself. How long does the Wisconsin state office take to issue an apostille? The Wisconsin Secretary of State publishes a mail-in processing time of 7 to 20 days. That figure is the state's own handling time, excludes transit to and from the office, and can change without notice. Our Express (1 business day), Standard (2-3 business days) and Economy (4-6 business days) tiers describe our handling for True Copy Processing.

Our licensed notary certifies the printed copy, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary's certification.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Birth Certificate Apostilles ### Informational Copies Are Not Accepted Many people unknowingly order informational copies of their birth certificate, which are clearly marked 'not a valid document for identification purposes' or similar language. These cannot be apostilled. You need a certified copy issued by the vital records office of the state where the birth occurred. ### Missing Registrar Signature or Seal A birth certificate must bear the original signature of the registrar or deputy registrar and an official seal (raised, embossed, or stamped). Copies that lack these elements - such as photocopies or print-at-home versions - will be rejected by the Secretary of State. ### Outdated Records and Format Variations Birth certificates issued decades ago may use formats that current Secretary of State offices do not recognize or may have faded signatures. Some states have changed their vital records systems, and older certificates may need to be re-issued in the current format before an apostille can be attached. ### State-Specific Format Differences Each state issues birth certificates in its own format. Some states issue them at the county level, others only at the state level. The apostille must come from the state where the certificate was issued, not the state where you currently reside, which catches many applicants off guard. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail. [How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority (a Secretary of State) that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Do I need to send my original birth certificate? In most cases, no. You upload a clear color scan of your birth certificate through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies that the printed copy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. Your original birth certificate never has to leave your possession. The resulting apostilled document is recognized across Hague Convention countries for almost every common use case (dual citizenship, marriage abroad, visa applications, school enrollment, foreign property transactions, and more). The only time you would need to mail the physical original is if the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the original document, or specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your birth certificate. If that applies to your situation, we offer an [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) and will guide you through it. [Learn more about our digital process →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature, which is exactly what the Hague Convention recognizes. Because we work from a scan, your original never has to leave your possession, processing is significantly faster than mailing physical documents back and forth, and there is no risk of your original being lost or damaged in transit. Does my birth certificate need notarization before the apostille? Government-issued vital records (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates) typically do not require additional notarization before apostille. Private documents such as powers of attorney, school transcripts, and personal affidavits do need to be notarized first, because the apostille is issued on the notary's certification rather than on the document itself. If your birth certificate needs notarization, we can handle it as part of your order through our [remote online notary add-on](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary). How long does it take to get a birth certificate apostilled? Our digital process completes Economy orders in 4-6 business days, Standard in 2-3 business days, and Express in 1 business day. Shipping time is separate from processing time. [See full processing time details →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) How much does an apostille cost? Pricing depends on the processing tier you choose. Economy starts at $149 per document, Standard at $197, and Express (1 business day) at $249. All tiers include document review, notarized true copy, state apostille, and tracked domestic shipping. [See full pricing details and add-ons →](https://apostilles.us/pricing) Which countries accept apostilles? Over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. This includes most of Europe, South America, and many countries in Asia and Africa. If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, you may need embassy legalization instead of an apostille. [Browse country-specific guidance →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) Will my apostille be issued by the same state that issued my birth certificate? Not necessarily. With our digital process, the apostille is issued by a U.S. Secretary of State where our licensed notary is commissioned, which may be a different state than the one that originally issued your birth certificate. The apostille is fully Hague Convention compliant and accepted by receiving authorities in 120+ countries regardless of which state issued it. If the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your birth certificate, you would need to use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), which routes your physical original through the issuing state. Which copy of my birth certificate can be apostilled? Only a certified copy issued directly by the state or county vital records office can receive an apostille. The certificate must have the registrar's signature and an official seal. Hospital-issued commemorative certificates, photocopies, and informational copies cannot be apostilled. If you're unsure whether your copy qualifies, you can submit it for our free document review. How long does it take to get a birth certificate apostille? Processing times vary by issuing state and by season. Some states turn apostilles around in a few business days, while others take several weeks during peak periods. We advise you on a realistic timeline for your specific state during the document review, and expedited options are available where the state offers them. Can I apostille a birth certificate from any U.S. state? Yes. We process birth certificate apostilles from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. The apostille must be obtained from the Secretary of State (or equivalent office) in the state that issued the birth certificate, regardless of where you currently live. Do I need a translation along with the apostille for my birth certificate? The apostille itself is designed to be recognized without translation, as it follows a standardized format in both English and French. However, the underlying birth certificate may need to be translated into the language of the destination country. Translation requirements vary - we can advise you based on your specific destination country. What if my birth certificate has a different name than my passport? Name discrepancies between your birth certificate and passport are common, especially after marriage or legal name changes. Some destination countries require the names to match exactly. In these cases, you may also need to apostille a marriage certificate, court order for name change, or other supporting documentation to establish the connection between the names.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Marriage Certificate Apostilles ### County-Level vs. State-Level Issuance In many states, marriage certificates are issued by the county clerk where the marriage was performed, not the state. This means the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State for that state, and the county clerk's signature must be on file with the Secretary of State. If the county clerk's signature is not on file, additional county authentication may be required first. ### Name Mismatches Between Documents If a name change occurred at marriage and your passport still reflects your maiden name (or vice versa), destination country authorities may question the document. Some countries require both the marriage certificate apostille and a separate apostilled document establishing the name connection. We flag these issues during our review. ### Decorative or Commemorative Certificates Many couples receive a decorative marriage certificate at their ceremony - often with ornate borders, calligraphy, or religious imagery. These are keepsakes, not legal documents, and cannot be apostilled. You need an official certified copy from the county clerk or state vital records office. ### Outdated Certified Copies Some destination countries require that the certified copy of your marriage certificate be recently issued, even if the marriage itself took place years ago. If your certified copy is more than a year old, we may recommend ordering a fresh copy before processing the apostille. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail.

An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority (a Secretary of State) that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Do I need to send my original marriage certificate? In most cases, no. You upload a clear color scan of your marriage certificate through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies that the printed copy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. Your original marriage certificate never has to leave your possession. The resulting apostilled document is recognized across Hague Convention countries for almost every common use case (dual citizenship, marriage abroad, visa applications, school enrollment, foreign property transactions, and more). The only time you would need to mail the physical original is if the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the original document, or specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your marriage certificate. If that applies to your situation, we offer an [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) and will guide you through it. [Learn more about our digital process →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature, which is exactly what the Hague Convention recognizes. Because we work from a scan, your original never has to leave your possession, processing is significantly faster than mailing physical documents back and forth, and there is no risk of your original being lost or damaged in transit. Does my marriage certificate need notarization before the apostille? Government-issued vital records (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates) typically do not require additional notarization before apostille. Private documents such as powers of attorney, school transcripts, and personal affidavits do need to be notarized first, because the apostille is issued on the notary's certification rather than on the document itself. If your marriage certificate needs notarization, we can handle it as part of your order through our [remote online notary add-on](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary). How long does it take to get a marriage certificate apostilled? Our digital process completes Economy orders in 4-6 business days, Standard in 2-3 business days, and Express in 1 business day. Shipping time is separate from processing time. [See full processing time details →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) How much does an apostille cost? Pricing depends on the processing tier you choose. Economy starts at $149 per document, Standard at $197, and Express (1 business day) at $249. All tiers include document review, notarized true copy, state apostille, and tracked domestic shipping. [See full pricing details and add-ons →](https://apostilles.us/pricing) Which countries accept apostilles? Over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. This includes most of Europe, South America, and many countries in Asia and Africa. If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, you may need embassy legalization instead of an apostille. [Browse country-specific guidance →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) Will my apostille be issued by the same state that issued my marriage certificate? Not necessarily. With our digital process, the apostille is issued by a U.S. Secretary of State where our licensed notary is commissioned, which may be a different state than the one that originally issued your marriage certificate. The apostille is fully Hague Convention compliant and accepted by receiving authorities in 120+ countries regardless of which state issued it. If the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your marriage certificate, you would need to use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), which routes your physical original through the issuing state. Should I apostille my county marriage certificate or my state marriage certificate? It depends on your state. In some states, you can apostille either version, but the county-issued certificate is more common because that's where marriages are recorded. The apostille always comes from the Secretary of State for the state where the marriage was performed. During our review, we'll confirm which version you have and whether it qualifies. Can I use an apostilled marriage certificate for a spousal visa application? Yes. An apostilled marriage certificate is commonly required for spousal visa and immigration petitions in Hague Convention countries. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the document. Some countries may additionally require a certified translation of the certificate into their official language. What if we were married in one state but live in another? The apostille must be obtained from the state where the marriage took place, not where you currently reside. For example, if you were married in Nevada but live in Florida, the apostille comes from the Nevada Secretary of State. We handle processing in all 50 states. How do I apostille a marriage certificate if my spouse's name is spelled differently in their country? Name transliteration differences are common, especially with non-Latin alphabets. The apostille authenticates the document as-is. The destination country's authorities will typically handle name matching on their end. However, if the destination country requires exact matching, you may need a sworn affidavit or court order linking the names, which can also be apostilled. Do I need to apostille both the marriage license and the marriage certificate? In most cases, only the marriage certificate (which confirms the marriage was performed and registered) needs to be apostilled. The marriage license (which authorized the marriage to take place) is typically not required by foreign authorities. However, some countries request both - we can advise based on your destination.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Death Certificate Apostilles ### Funeral Home Documents Are Not Accepted Funeral homes often provide families with paperwork that resembles a death certificate but is not an official certified copy from the state or county vital records office. These documents lack the registrar's signature and seal required for apostille. You must obtain a certified copy from the vital records office of the state where the death occurred. ### Missing Registrar Information Some older death certificates or those from certain jurisdictions may be missing the registrar's printed name, signature, or seal. Without these elements, the Secretary of State cannot authenticate the document. A replacement certified copy with complete registrar information will need to be ordered. ### Outdated Certified Copies Probate courts and government agencies in some countries require death certificates to have been issued within a specific timeframe - often within the last 6 to 12 months. Even if the death occurred years ago, you may need to order a fresh certified copy before obtaining the apostille. ### Multiple Certified Copies Needed Estate settlement often involves multiple institutions (banks, property registries, pension funds) in the foreign country, each requiring an original apostilled death certificate. We recommend ordering multiple certified copies upfront to avoid repeated processing delays. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

Can I apostille a death certificate if the person died years ago? Yes. There is no time limit on when a death certificate can be apostilled. However, the certified copy itself may need to be recently issued depending on the destination country's requirements. You can order a new certified copy from the vital records office of the state where the death occurred, even decades later. What's the difference between a death certificate from the funeral home and one from vital records? The funeral home may provide a preliminary or informational document, but only the certified copy issued by the state or county vital records office carries the registrar's signature and seal required for an apostille. Always use the version from vital records. How many apostilled copies of a death certificate should I order? We recommend at least 2-3 apostilled certified copies if you're dealing with estate matters abroad. Banks, property registries, pension funds, and courts may each require an original. Having multiple copies avoids weeks of delay if one institution retains the document. Can I apostille a death certificate for someone who was not a U.S. citizen? Yes, as long as the death occurred in the United States and the death certificate was issued by a U.S. state or territory. The citizenship of the deceased does not affect the apostille process - what matters is that the document was issued by a U.S. authority. Is an apostilled death certificate sufficient for claiming inheritance abroad? An apostilled death certificate is typically one of several documents needed for international inheritance claims. You may also need apostilled copies of a will, letters testamentary, court orders, or birth/marriage certificates proving your relationship to the deceased. We can help you identify and process all the documents you need.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Divorce Decree Apostilles ### Uncertified Copies Cannot Be Apostilled A photocopy of your divorce decree - even if it looks official - cannot be apostilled unless it has been certified by the clerk of the court that issued the original decree. You need to request a certified copy from the courthouse, which will include the clerk's signature and seal. ### Missing Court Seal The certified copy must bear the court's official seal (raised, embossed, or stamped). Some courts issue certified copies with only a stamp and signature but no raised seal. If the Secretary of State requires a raised seal, the document will be rejected. We verify this during our review. ### Decree vs. Certificate of Divorce Confusion Some states issue both a divorce decree (the court order dissolving the marriage) and a certificate of divorce (a vital records summary document). These are different documents. Some destination countries accept either; others specifically require one or the other. Submitting the wrong one can delay your process by weeks. ### Interlocutory or Temporary Orders Some divorces involve intermediate orders before the final decree is entered. Only the final decree or final judgment of divorce can be apostilled for use abroad. If you submit a temporary or interlocutory order, it will be rejected by the destination country even if successfully apostilled. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

Do I need to apostille my divorce decree to get remarried abroad? In most Hague Convention countries, yes. Foreign civil registries require proof that any prior marriage was legally dissolved before they will register a new marriage. An apostilled divorce decree (or apostilled certificate of divorce, depending on the country) serves as that proof. My divorce was finalized 15 years ago. Can I still get it apostilled? Absolutely. There is no expiration on when a divorce decree can be apostilled. You will need a certified copy from the court that granted the divorce - contact the clerk of court in the county where the divorce was finalized. Even if the court has archived the file, they can issue a new certified copy. What if my divorce was granted in a different state than where I live now? The apostille must come from the state where the divorce was granted, not your current state of residence. For example, if your divorce was finalized in Illinois but you now live in Georgia, the apostille must be issued by the Illinois Secretary of State. We process apostilles from all 50 states. Should I apostille the divorce decree or the certificate of divorce? This depends on what your destination country requires. The divorce decree is the court order itself, while the certificate of divorce is a summary document issued by the state's vital records office. Many countries prefer the decree. We can advise you based on your specific destination country during our document review. Can both parties use the same apostilled divorce decree? Technically, the apostilled decree covers the divorce case itself, not a specific party. However, in practice, each party should have their own apostilled certified copy because foreign institutions typically retain the original. We recommend each party order and apostille their own certified copy.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Diploma & Transcript Apostilles ### Notarization Required in Many States Unlike vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates), diplomas and transcripts are not issued by a government office. In most states, the Secretary of State can only apostille a document bearing a signature they have on file. Since school officials' signatures are typically not on file, the document must first be notarized by a commissioned notary public in that state, and the notary's signature is what gets apostilled. ### Digital Diplomas and Electronic Transcripts Many universities now issue diplomas and transcripts electronically or through digital platforms. These digital versions cannot be apostilled. You will need to request a physical diploma reprint or official paper transcript from your institution. Some institutions charge a fee and require several weeks for reprints. ### Accreditation Letter May Be Required Some destination countries require not just the apostilled diploma but also a separate letter confirming the institution's accreditation. This letter typically must be issued by the institution or a recognized accreditation body and then separately notarized and apostilled. ### Institution Seal Alone May Not Suffice Having your school's embossed seal on the diploma does not automatically mean the document can be apostilled. In states where notarization is required, the school seal is irrelevant to the apostille process - the notary's commission and signature are what the Secretary of State authenticates. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail. [How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority (a Secretary of State) that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Do I need to send my original diploma & transcript? In most cases, no. You upload a clear color scan of your diploma & transcript through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies that the printed copy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. Your original diploma & transcript never has to leave your possession. The resulting apostilled document is recognized across Hague Convention countries for almost every common use case (dual citizenship, marriage abroad, visa applications, school enrollment, foreign property transactions, and more). The only time you would need to mail the physical original is if the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the original document, or specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your diploma & transcript. If that applies to your situation, we offer an [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) and will guide you through it. [Learn more about our digital process →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature, which is exactly what the Hague Convention recognizes. Because we work from a scan, your original never has to leave your possession, processing is significantly faster than mailing physical documents back and forth, and there is no risk of your original being lost or damaged in transit. Does my diploma & transcript need notarization before the apostille? Government-issued vital records (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates) typically do not require additional notarization before apostille. Private documents such as powers of attorney, school transcripts, and personal affidavits do need to be notarized first, because the apostille is issued on the notary's certification rather than on the document itself. If your diploma & transcript needs notarization, we can handle it as part of your order through our [remote online notary add-on](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary). How long does it take to get a diploma & transcript apostilled? Our digital process completes Economy orders in 4-6 business days, Standard in 2-3 business days, and Express in 1 business day. Shipping time is separate from processing time. [See full processing time details →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) How much does an apostille cost? Pricing depends on the processing tier you choose. Economy starts at $149 per document, Standard at $197, and Express (1 business day) at $249. All tiers include document review, notarized true copy, state apostille, and tracked domestic shipping. [See full pricing details and add-ons →](https://apostilles.us/pricing) Which countries accept apostilles? Over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. This includes most of Europe, South America, and many countries in Asia and Africa. If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, you may need embassy legalization instead of an apostille. [Browse country-specific guidance →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) Will my apostille be issued by the same state that issued my diploma & transcript? Not necessarily. With our digital process, the apostille is issued by a U.S. Secretary of State where our licensed notary is commissioned, which may be a different state than the one that originally issued your diploma & transcript. The apostille is fully Hague Convention compliant and accepted by receiving authorities in 120+ countries regardless of which state issued it. If the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your diploma & transcript, you would need to use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), which routes your physical original through the issuing state. Does my diploma need to be notarized before getting an apostille? In most states, yes. Because diplomas are issued by private or public educational institutions (not government offices), the Secretary of State typically does not have the school official's signature on file. A notary public must first notarize the diploma, and then the apostille authenticates the notary's signature. We'll confirm the exact requirements for your state. Can I apostille a transcript that was sent directly to me in a sealed envelope? Yes, as long as it is an official transcript bearing the registrar's signature and institutional seal. The sealed envelope is an integrity measure for the receiving institution, but the apostille process requires the document itself to be accessible for notarization and authentication. Opening the sealed envelope is necessary and does not invalidate the transcript for apostille purposes. I graduated from an online university. Can my diploma be apostilled? If your online university is accredited and issues physical diplomas with authorized signatures, yes. The key factor is state accreditation and the physical document having proper signatures. Diploma mills or unaccredited institutions may produce documents that some destination countries will not accept, regardless of apostille. Do I need to apostille both my diploma and my transcript, or just one? This depends entirely on what the destination country or institution requires. Some foreign universities accept just an apostilled transcript for admissions. Others require both the diploma and transcript to be apostilled. Professional licensing boards abroad often require both. Check with the receiving institution or let us advise you during the review. My high school diploma doesn't have a signature on it. What do I do? Some high school diplomas are mass-printed without individual signatures. In this case, you would need to either (1) contact the school district to obtain a signed copy or official letter confirming your graduation, or (2) have the diploma notarized with an accompanying affidavit. We can guide you through the best approach for your situation.

International custody disputes, cross-border adoptions, and foreign legal proceedings require authenticated court documents to establish jurisdiction and legal authority. Because court orders come from specific courts with specific certification requirements, ensuring the document is properly clerk-certified before submission is critical to a successful apostille.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Court Order Apostilles ### Uncertified Copies Are the Most Common Problem Attorneys often provide clients with file-stamped copies of court orders, which are not the same as clerk-certified copies. A certified copy must include a separate certification page (or stamp) from the clerk of court confirming the document is a true and complete copy of the original on file. Without this certification, the Secretary of State cannot apostille the document. ### Missing or Illegible Court Seal The clerk's certification must include the court's official seal. Older documents may have faded embossed seals that are no longer legible. If the Secretary of State cannot verify the seal, the document will be returned. You may need to obtain a fresh certified copy from the clerk's office. ### State-Specific Certification Requirements Different states have different requirements for what constitutes a properly certified court document. Some states require the clerk's signature to be on file with the Secretary of State. Others require an intermediate authentication from the county clerk before the state can apostille. We know the requirements for every state. ### Interim vs. Final Orders Temporary restraining orders, interim custody arrangements, and pendente lite orders are not final judgments. While they can technically be apostilled, many foreign authorities will only accept final orders. Make sure you're submitting the correct version of the court's ruling. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

What types of court orders can be apostilled? Virtually any court order issued by a U.S. state court can be apostilled, including custody orders, adoption decrees, divorce judgments, name change orders, guardianship orders, restraining orders, probate orders, and civil judgments. The key requirement is that the order must be clerk-certified with the court's seal. How do I get a certified copy of a court order? Contact the clerk of the court that issued the order. You'll need the case number and party names. The clerk's office will produce a certified copy with their signature and the court's official seal. Fees and processing times vary by court. Some courts allow requests by mail; others require in-person pickup. Can a federal court order be apostilled? Federal court orders follow a different process. They cannot be apostilled by a state Secretary of State. Instead, federal court documents must be authenticated by the clerk of the federal court, then authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We can handle federal authentication as well. I need to enforce a U.S. custody order in another country. Is an apostille enough? An apostille authenticates the document but does not guarantee enforcement. International custody enforcement depends on treaties (like the Hague Convention on International Child Abduction) and the laws of the destination country. The apostille is a necessary first step - you'll likely also need legal counsel in the destination country. How recent does the certified copy need to be? For apostille purposes, there is no expiration on certified copies. However, some destination countries require that the certification be recent (within 3-12 months). If you're unsure, we recommend obtaining a fresh certified copy to avoid any issues with the receiving authority.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Corporate Document Apostilles ### Web Printouts and Electronic Filings May Be Rejected Many states now offer online access to corporate filings, and businesses often print these directly from the Secretary of State's website. However, web printouts typically lack the official certification, signature, and seal needed for an apostille. You need to order a certified copy from the Secretary of State's office, which often involves a separate request and fee. ### Hand Signature Requirement Several states require that corporate documents submitted for apostille bear a hand (wet ink) signature from the Secretary of State or other official. Auto-signed, stamped, or electronically signed versions may be rejected. When ordering certified copies, specify that you need a hand-signed version for apostille purposes. ### SOS-Certified vs. Notarized: Different Paths Documents filed with and certified by the Secretary of State (like articles of incorporation or certificates of good standing) follow a direct apostille path. Documents that are not state-filed (like corporate resolutions or bylaws) must typically be notarized first, and the apostille then authenticates the notary's signature. Using the wrong path causes delays. ### Certificate of Good Standing Expiration Certificates of good standing are time-sensitive. Many destination countries require them to be issued within 30-90 days of submission. If your certificate is older, foreign authorities may reject it even with a valid apostille. Order these as close to your submission date as possible. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

What corporate documents can be apostilled? Common corporate documents for apostille include: articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing (also called certificates of existence or status), corporate resolutions, bylaws, certificates of incumbency, annual reports, merger documents, and powers of attorney for corporate representatives. The process depends on whether the document is state-filed or privately executed. Do I need to notarize my corporate resolution before apostille? Yes. Corporate resolutions are internal company documents, not filed with the state. Since the Secretary of State does not have the signer's signature on file, the resolution must be notarized by a commissioned notary public. The apostille then authenticates the notary's signature. The same applies to bylaws, board minutes, and similar internal documents. How long is an apostilled certificate of good standing valid? The apostille itself does not expire. However, the certificate of good standing is a snapshot of the company's status at a point in time. Most foreign jurisdictions require the certificate to be recently issued - typically within 30 to 90 days. We recommend ordering the certificate as close to your deadline as possible. Can I apostille documents for an LLC, partnership, or nonprofit? Yes. The apostille process applies to all business entity types registered with a U.S. state, including LLCs, corporations, partnerships, sole proprietorships (with state registrations), and nonprofit organizations. The specific documents available for apostille may vary by entity type. I need to register my U.S. company in a foreign country. What documents will I need apostilled? Requirements vary by country, but common requests include: certified articles of incorporation, a certificate of good standing, a corporate resolution authorizing the foreign registration, a power of attorney for the local representative, and sometimes bylaws or operating agreements. We can help you assemble and process the complete package.

International property purchases, business representation abroad, banking transactions, inheritance claims, and legal proceedings in foreign countries frequently require an apostilled power of attorney. Because POAs are privately executed documents, they must be properly notarized before an apostille can be attached - and the format requirements vary significantly depending on the destination country.

Same-day processing available 3 ### Receive Your Apostille Your apostilled power of attorney is shipped directly to you with full tracking. Domestic and international delivery available. Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Power of Attorney Apostilles ### Must Be Properly Notarized First A power of attorney cannot be apostilled unless it has been notarized by a commissioned notary public. The notary's signature is what the Secretary of State authenticates with the apostille. If the POA is not notarized, or if the notarization is defective (missing seal, expired commission, wrong state), the apostille will be rejected. ### Format Varies by Destination Country Different countries have very specific requirements for POA format, language, and content. Some countries (particularly in Latin America and Southern Europe) require the POA to follow their own legal template, be executed in a specific way, or include particular clauses. Using a generic U.S. POA template may result in the foreign authority rejecting the document even with a valid apostille. ### Limited vs. General POA Distinctions A general power of attorney grants broad authority, while a limited (or special) power of attorney restricts authority to specific actions. Many foreign countries have strict rules about which type is required for specific transactions. Submitting the wrong type can mean the authorized agent cannot complete the intended transaction abroad. ### Notary State Must Match Apostille State The apostille must come from the state where the notary public is commissioned, not the state where the principal resides or the state where the POA will be used domestically. If a POA is notarized by a Virginia notary, the apostille must come from the Virginia Secretary of State, even if you live in Maryland. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan. Your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report never leaves your hands, so it can never be lost in the mail. [How true copy processing works](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) FAQ ## Frequently Asked Questions What is an apostille? An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated U.S. authority (a Secretary of State) that authenticates a U.S. document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Do I need to send my original power of attorney? In most cases, no. You upload a clear color scan of your power of attorney through our secure portal. Our licensed notary certifies that the printed copy is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and a U.S. Secretary of State issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. Your original power of attorney never has to leave your possession. The resulting apostilled document is recognized across Hague Convention countries for almost every common use case (dual citizenship, marriage abroad, visa applications, school enrollment, foreign property transactions, and more). The only time you would need to mail the physical original is if the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the original document, or specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your power of attorney. If that applies to your situation, we offer an [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) and will guide you through it. [Learn more about our digital process →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) How can you process an apostille with just a digital scan? Our process uses a U.S.-licensed notary who certifies that a printed copy made from your scan is a true and accurate reproduction of the original document. A U.S. Secretary of State then issues the apostille on the notary-certified true copy. The apostille authenticates the notary's seal and signature, which is exactly what the Hague Convention recognizes. Because we work from a scan, your original never has to leave your possession, processing is significantly faster than mailing physical documents back and forth, and there is no risk of your original being lost or damaged in transit. Does my power of attorney need notarization before the apostille? Government-issued vital records (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates) typically do not require additional notarization before apostille. Private documents such as powers of attorney, school transcripts, and personal affidavits do need to be notarized first, because the apostille is issued on the notary's certification rather than on the document itself. If your power of attorney needs notarization, we can handle it as part of your order through our [remote online notary add-on](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary). How long does it take to get a power of attorney apostilled? Our digital process completes Economy orders in 4-6 business days, Standard in 2-3 business days, and Express in 1 business day. Shipping time is separate from processing time. [See full processing time details →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) How much does an apostille cost? Pricing depends on the processing tier you choose. Economy starts at $149 per document, Standard at $197, and Express (1 business day) at $249. All tiers include document review, notarized true copy, state apostille, and tracked domestic shipping. [See full pricing details and add-ons →](https://apostilles.us/pricing) Which countries accept apostilles? Over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles. This includes most of Europe, South America, and many countries in Asia and Africa. If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, you may need embassy legalization instead of an apostille. [Browse country-specific guidance →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) Will my apostille be issued by the same state that issued my power of attorney? Not necessarily. With our digital process, the apostille is issued by a U.S. Secretary of State where our licensed notary is commissioned, which may be a different state than the one that originally issued your power of attorney. The apostille is fully Hague Convention compliant and accepted by receiving authorities in 120+ countries regardless of which state issued it. If the receiving authority in your destination country specifically requires the apostille to come from the same state that issued your power of attorney, you would need to use our [Original Document Apostille service](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), which routes your physical original through the issuing state. Can I apostille a power of attorney that I had notarized last year? Yes, there is no time limit between notarization and apostille. However, some destination countries require the POA to be recently executed (within the last 6-12 months). The apostille can be obtained at any time after notarization, but check with the receiving authority on their recency requirements for the POA itself. Does the power of attorney need to be in the language of the destination country? Requirements vary. Some countries accept an English-language POA with an apostille and then require a local certified translation. Others require the POA to be executed in their official language from the start, or to be bilingual. Countries like Spain, Mexico, and Brazil often have specific language and format requirements. We can advise based on your destination. Can I use an online notary (RON) for a power of attorney that will be apostilled? Remote Online Notarization (RON) is accepted for apostille in some states but not others. Additionally, many destination countries do not recognize RON-notarized documents. If your POA will be used internationally, we generally recommend traditional in-person notarization to avoid complications. Check with us about your specific state and destination country. I need someone in another country to sell my U.S. property. Do I need an apostille? If the property is in the U.S. and the person acting on your behalf is also in the U.S., you likely do not need an apostille - just a properly notarized POA. Apostilles are needed when the POA will be presented to authorities in a foreign Hague Convention member country. However, if the buyer is foreign and their government requires authenticated documents, an apostille may be requested. Can a power of attorney be apostilled if it was notarized in a different state than where I live? Yes. The relevant factor is where the notary is commissioned, not where you live. If you had your POA notarized by a California notary while visiting California but you live in New York, the apostille must come from the California Secretary of State. We process apostilles from all 50 states.

Domestic and international delivery Common Issues ## Common Issues with Notarized Document Apostilles ### Electronic and Remote Online Notarization (RON) Rejections While electronic and remote online notarization is gaining legal acceptance domestically, many state Secretary of State offices do not yet accept electronically notarized documents for apostille. Additionally, even when the state accepts them, many destination countries reject e-notarized documents. Traditional in-person notarization with a wet ink signature and physical seal remains the safest choice for international use. ### Missing Notarial Elements A complete notarization must include the notary's signature, printed name, commission number, commission expiration date, the state of commission, the notarial act performed (acknowledgment or jurat), the date of notarization, and the notary's official seal or stamp. Missing any of these elements can cause the Secretary of State to reject the document. ### Out-of-State Notary Issues A notary can only perform notarial acts within the state where they are commissioned. If a California-commissioned notary notarizes a document in Nevada, the notarization is invalid. The apostille state must match the notary's state of commission, and the notarization must have been performed within that state's borders. ### Wrong Notarial Act Type There is a difference between an acknowledgment (the signer acknowledges they signed the document) and a jurat (the signer swears the content is true, signed in front of the notary). Some destination countries require a specific type of notarial act. Using the wrong one can result in rejection by the foreign authority even with a valid apostille. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

What types of notarized documents can be apostilled? Virtually any document that has been properly notarized can receive an apostille. Common examples include affidavits, consent letters (such as parental travel consent), sworn declarations, authorization letters, corporate documents, contracts, medical records, immigration support letters, and personal statements. The apostille authenticates the notary's signature, not the content of the document. Can I use an online notary for a document that will be apostilled? We generally advise against it for international use. While some states accept Remote Online Notarization (RON) for apostille, many do not, and many destination countries reject electronically notarized documents regardless. Traditional in-person notarization with a wet ink signature and physical seal or stamp is the most universally accepted approach. The notary forgot to include their commission expiration date. Can it still be apostilled? In most states, no. The commission expiration date is a required element of a valid notarization. If any notarial element is missing, the Secretary of State may reject the document. You would need to have the document re-notarized with all required elements present before submitting for apostille. Does the apostille verify that the content of my document is true? No. The apostille only authenticates the signature, seal, and capacity of the notary public who notarized the document. It does not verify, endorse, or certify the content, statements, or accuracy of the underlying document. The apostille says 'this notary is real and authorized' - nothing more. I need a parental consent letter apostilled for my child's international travel. What do I need? You need a written consent letter signed by the non-traveling parent (or both parents if the child is traveling with another adult), notarized by a commissioned notary public in the state where the parent signs. The notarization must include all standard elements (signature, seal, commission number, expiration date). We then apostille the notary's signature through the appropriate Secretary of State.

These cannot be apostilled. You need a certified copy issued by the vital records office of the state where the birth occurred. ### Missing Registrar Signature or Seal A birth certificate must bear the original signature of the registrar or deputy registrar and an official seal (raised, embossed, or stamped). Copies that lack these elements - such as photocopies or print-at-home versions - will be rejected by the Secretary of State. ### Outdated Records and Format Variations Birth certificates issued decades ago may use formats that current Secretary of State offices do not recognize or may have faded signatures. Some states have changed their vital records systems, and older certificates may need to be re-issued in the current format before an apostille can be attached. ### State-Specific Format Differences Each state issues birth certificates in its own format. Some states issue them at the county level, others only at the state level. The apostille must come from the state where the certificate was issued, not the state where you currently reside, which catches many applicants off guard. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a birth certificate issued in Louisiana if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a Louisiana birth certificate is apostilled in Louisiana regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States. You upload or ship the document to us and we handle the Louisiana filing. ### Do I have to mail my Louisiana birth certificate? Not always. True Copy processing starts with a clear upload and is the faster path for most birth certificate orders. Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Which copy of my birth certificate can be apostilled? Only a certified copy issued directly by the state or county vital records office can receive an apostille. The certificate must have the registrar's signature and an official seal. Hospital-issued commemorative certificates, photocopies, and informational copies cannot be apostilled. If you're unsure whether your copy qualifies, you can submit it for our free document review. ### How long does it take to get a birth certificate apostille? Processing times vary by issuing state and by season. Some states turn apostilles around in a few business days, while others take several weeks during peak periods. We advise you on a realistic timeline for your specific state during the document review, and expedited options are available where the state offers them. ### Can I apostille a birth certificate from any U.S. state? Yes. We process birth certificate apostilles from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. The apostille must be obtained from the Secretary of State (or equivalent office) in the state that issued the birth certificate, regardless of where you currently live. ### Do I need a translation along with the apostille for my birth certificate? The apostille itself is designed to be recognized without translation, as it follows a standardized format in both English and French. However, the underlying birth certificate may need to be translated into the language of the destination country. Translation requirements vary - we can advise you based on your specific destination country. ### What if my birth certificate has a different name than my passport? Name discrepancies between your birth certificate and passport are common, especially after marriage or legal name changes. Some destination countries require the names to match exactly. In these cases, you may also need to apostille a marriage certificate, court order for name change, or other supporting documentation to establish the connection between the names. ## Related guides [Louisiana apostille services](https://apostilles.us/apostille-louisiana)[Birth Certificate apostille guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-birth-certificate)[Birth Certificate apostille for Maine](https://apostilles.us/birth-certificate-apostille-maine)[Birth Certificate apostille for Kentucky](https://apostilles.us/birth-certificate-apostille-kentucky) Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/birth-certificate-apostille-louisiana --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Birth Certificate Apostille](https://apostilles.us/apostille-birth-certificate) / Maine Maine documents # Maine Birth Certificate Apostille A birth certificate issued in Maine is apostilled by Maine, not by the state where you live now.

These cannot be apostilled. You need a certified copy issued by the vital records office of the state where the birth occurred. ### Missing Registrar Signature or Seal A birth certificate must bear the original signature of the registrar or deputy registrar and an official seal (raised, embossed, or stamped). Copies that lack these elements - such as photocopies or print-at-home versions - will be rejected by the Secretary of State. ### Outdated Records and Format Variations Birth certificates issued decades ago may use formats that current Secretary of State offices do not recognize or may have faded signatures. Some states have changed their vital records systems, and older certificates may need to be re-issued in the current format before an apostille can be attached. ### State-Specific Format Differences Each state issues birth certificates in its own format. Some states issue them at the county level, others only at the state level. The apostille must come from the state where the certificate was issued, not the state where you currently reside, which catches many applicants off guard. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a birth certificate issued in Maine if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a Maine birth certificate is apostilled in Maine regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States. You upload or ship the document to us and we handle the Maine filing. ### Do I have to mail my Maine birth certificate? Not always. True Copy processing starts with a clear upload and is the faster path for most birth certificate orders. Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Which copy of my birth certificate can be apostilled? Only a certified copy issued directly by the state or county vital records office can receive an apostille. The certificate must have the registrar's signature and an official seal. Hospital-issued commemorative certificates, photocopies, and informational copies cannot be apostilled. If you're unsure whether your copy qualifies, you can submit it for our free document review. ### How long does it take to get a birth certificate apostille? Processing times vary by issuing state and by season. Some states turn apostilles around in a few business days, while others take several weeks during peak periods. We advise you on a realistic timeline for your specific state during the document review, and expedited options are available where the state offers them. ### Can I apostille a birth certificate from any U.S. state? Yes. We process birth certificate apostilles from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. The apostille must be obtained from the Secretary of State (or equivalent office) in the state that issued the birth certificate, regardless of where you currently live. ### Do I need a translation along with the apostille for my birth certificate? The apostille itself is designed to be recognized without translation, as it follows a standardized format in both English and French. However, the underlying birth certificate may need to be translated into the language of the destination country. Translation requirements vary - we can advise you based on your specific destination country. ### What if my birth certificate has a different name than my passport? Name discrepancies between your birth certificate and passport are common, especially after marriage or legal name changes. Some destination countries require the names to match exactly. In these cases, you may also need to apostille a marriage certificate, court order for name change, or other supporting documentation to establish the connection between the names. ## Related guides [Maine apostille services](https://apostilles.us/apostille-maine)[Birth Certificate apostille guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-birth-certificate)[Birth Certificate apostille for Louisiana](https://apostilles.us/birth-certificate-apostille-louisiana)[Birth Certificate apostille for Kentucky](https://apostilles.us/birth-certificate-apostille-kentucky) Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/birth-certificate-apostille-maine --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Birth Certificate Apostille](https://apostilles.us/apostille-birth-certificate) / Kentucky Kentucky documents # Kentucky Birth Certificate Apostille A birth certificate issued in Kentucky is apostilled by Kentucky, not by the state where you live now.

This means the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State for that state, and the county clerk's signature must be on file with the Secretary of State. If the county clerk's signature is not on file, additional county authentication may be required first. ### Name Mismatches Between Documents If a name change occurred at marriage and your passport still reflects your maiden name (or vice versa), destination country authorities may question the document. Some countries require both the marriage certificate apostille and a separate apostilled document establishing the name connection. We flag these issues during our review. ### Decorative or Commemorative Certificates Many couples receive a decorative marriage certificate at their ceremony - often with ornate borders, calligraphy, or religious imagery. These are keepsakes, not legal documents, and cannot be apostilled. You need an official certified copy from the county clerk or state vital records office. ### Outdated Certified Copies Some destination countries require that the certified copy of your marriage certificate be recently issued, even if the marriage itself took place years ago. If your certified copy is more than a year old, we may recommend ordering a fresh copy before processing the apostille. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a marriage certificate issued in New Jersey if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a New Jersey marriage certificate is apostilled in New Jersey regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States.

Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Should I apostille my county marriage certificate or my state marriage certificate? It depends on your state. In some states, you can apostille either version, but the county-issued certificate is more common because that's where marriages are recorded. The apostille always comes from the Secretary of State for the state where the marriage was performed. During our review, we'll confirm which version you have and whether it qualifies. ### Can I use an apostilled marriage certificate for a spousal visa application? Yes. An apostilled marriage certificate is commonly required for spousal visa and immigration petitions in Hague Convention countries. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the document. Some countries may additionally require a certified translation of the certificate into their official language. ### What if we were married in one state but live in another? The apostille must be obtained from the state where the marriage took place, not where you currently reside. For example, if you were married in Nevada but live in Florida, the apostille comes from the Nevada Secretary of State. We handle processing in all 50 states. ### How do I apostille a marriage certificate if my spouse's name is spelled differently in their country? Name transliteration differences are common, especially with non-Latin alphabets. The apostille authenticates the document as-is. The destination country's authorities will typically handle name matching on their end. However, if the destination country requires exact matching, you may need a sworn affidavit or court order linking the names, which can also be apostilled. ### Do I need to apostille both the marriage license and the marriage certificate? In most cases, only the marriage certificate (which confirms the marriage was performed and registered) needs to be apostilled. The marriage license (which authorized the marriage to take place) is typically not required by foreign authorities. However, some countries request both - we can advise based on your destination. ## Related guides [New Jersey apostille services](https://apostilles.us/apostille-new-jersey)[Marriage Certificate apostille guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-marriage-certificate)[Marriage Certificate apostille for South Carolina](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-south-carolina)[Marriage Certificate apostille for District of Columbia](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-district-of-columbia)[Marriage Certificate apostille for Idaho](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-idaho)[Marriage Certificate apostille for Nevada](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-nevada) Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-new-jersey --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Marriage Certificate Apostille](https://apostilles.us/apostille-marriage-certificate) / South Carolina South Carolina documents # South Carolina Marriage Certificate Apostille A marriage certificate issued in South Carolina is apostilled by South Carolina, not by the state where you live now.

We flag these issues during our review. ### Decorative or Commemorative Certificates Many couples receive a decorative marriage certificate at their ceremony - often with ornate borders, calligraphy, or religious imagery. These are keepsakes, not legal documents, and cannot be apostilled. You need an official certified copy from the county clerk or state vital records office. ### Outdated Certified Copies Some destination countries require that the certified copy of your marriage certificate be recently issued, even if the marriage itself took place years ago. If your certified copy is more than a year old, we may recommend ordering a fresh copy before processing the apostille. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a marriage certificate issued in Idaho if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a Idaho marriage certificate is apostilled in Idaho regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States. You upload or ship the document to us and we handle the Idaho filing. ### Do I have to mail my Idaho marriage certificate? Not always. True Copy processing starts with a clear upload and is the faster path for most marriage certificate orders. Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Should I apostille my county marriage certificate or my state marriage certificate? It depends on your state. In some states, you can apostille either version, but the county-issued certificate is more common because that's where marriages are recorded. The apostille always comes from the Secretary of State for the state where the marriage was performed. During our review, we'll confirm which version you have and whether it qualifies. ### Can I use an apostilled marriage certificate for a spousal visa application? Yes. An apostilled marriage certificate is commonly required for spousal visa and immigration petitions in Hague Convention countries. The apostille confirms the authenticity of the document. Some countries may additionally require a certified translation of the certificate into their official language. ### What if we were married in one state but live in another? The apostille must be obtained from the state where the marriage took place, not where you currently reside. For example, if you were married in Nevada but live in Florida, the apostille comes from the Nevada Secretary of State. We handle processing in all 50 states. ### How do I apostille a marriage certificate if my spouse's name is spelled differently in their country? Name transliteration differences are common, especially with non-Latin alphabets. The apostille authenticates the document as-is. The destination country's authorities will typically handle name matching on their end. However, if the destination country requires exact matching, you may need a sworn affidavit or court order linking the names, which can also be apostilled. ### Do I need to apostille both the marriage license and the marriage certificate? In most cases, only the marriage certificate (which confirms the marriage was performed and registered) needs to be apostilled. The marriage license (which authorized the marriage to take place) is typically not required by foreign authorities. However, some countries request both - we can advise based on your destination. ## Related guides [Idaho apostille services](https://apostilles.us/apostille-idaho)[Marriage Certificate apostille guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-marriage-certificate)[Marriage Certificate apostille for New Jersey](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-new-jersey)[Marriage Certificate apostille for South Carolina](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-south-carolina)[Marriage Certificate apostille for District of Columbia](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-district-of-columbia)[Marriage Certificate apostille for Nevada](https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-nevada) Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/marriage-certificate-apostille-idaho --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Marriage Certificate Apostille](https://apostilles.us/apostille-marriage-certificate) / Nevada Nevada documents # Nevada Marriage Certificate Apostille A marriage certificate issued in Nevada is apostilled by Nevada, not by the state where you live now. A marriage certificate apostille is essential for couples navigating international life. Whether you're sponsoring a spouse for immigration, changing your name with foreign authorities, purchasing property abroad as a married couple, or registering your U.S. marriage with a foreign government, an apostilled marriage certificate proves the legal validity of your union. Because marriage certificates can be issued at either the county or state level depending on the jurisdiction, knowing which document to submit is critical to avoiding delays.

If the county clerk's signature is not on file, additional county authentication may be required first. ### Name Mismatches Between Documents If a name change occurred at marriage and your passport still reflects your maiden name (or vice versa), destination country authorities may question the document.

These documents lack the registrar's signature and seal required for apostille. You must obtain a certified copy from the vital records office of the state where the death occurred. ### Missing Registrar Information Some older death certificates or those from certain jurisdictions may be missing the registrar's printed name, signature, or seal. Without these elements, the Secretary of State cannot authenticate the document. A replacement certified copy with complete registrar information will need to be ordered. ### Outdated Certified Copies Probate courts and government agencies in some countries require death certificates to have been issued within a specific timeframe - often within the last 6 to 12 months. Even if the death occurred years ago, you may need to order a fresh certified copy before obtaining the apostille. ### Multiple Certified Copies Needed Estate settlement often involves multiple institutions (banks, property registries, pension funds) in the foreign country, each requiring an original apostilled death certificate. We recommend ordering multiple certified copies upfront to avoid repeated processing delays. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a death certificate issued in Pennsylvania if I live somewhere else?

Yes. There is no time limit on when a death certificate can be apostilled. However, the certified copy itself may need to be recently issued depending on the destination country's requirements. You can order a new certified copy from the vital records office of the state where the death occurred, even decades later. ### What's the difference between a death certificate from the funeral home and one from vital records? The funeral home may provide a preliminary or informational document, but only the certified copy issued by the state or county vital records office carries the registrar's signature and seal required for an apostille. Always use the version from vital records. ### How many apostilled copies of a death certificate should I order? We recommend at least 2-3 apostilled certified copies if you're dealing with estate matters abroad. Banks, property registries, pension funds, and courts may each require an original. Having multiple copies avoids weeks of delay if one institution retains the document. ### Can I apostille a death certificate for someone who was not a U.S. citizen? Yes, as long as the death occurred in the United States and the death certificate was issued by a U.S. state or territory. The citizenship of the deceased does not affect the apostille process - what matters is that the document was issued by a U.S. authority. ### Is an apostilled death certificate sufficient for claiming inheritance abroad? An apostilled death certificate is typically one of several documents needed for international inheritance claims. You may also need apostilled copies of a will, letters testamentary, court orders, or birth/marriage certificates proving your relationship to the deceased.

Diplomas and academic transcripts are among the most frequently apostilled documents for professionals and students moving abroad. Whether you're pursuing a graduate degree at a foreign university, applying for professional licensure in another country, seeking employment with an international company, or undergoing credential evaluation by a foreign education ministry, your U.S. academic documents must be apostilled to be recognized.

In most states, the Secretary of State can only apostille a document bearing a signature they have on file. Since school officials' signatures are typically not on file, the document must first be notarized by a commissioned notary public in that state, and the notary's signature is what gets apostilled. ### Digital Diplomas and Electronic Transcripts Many universities now issue diplomas and transcripts electronically or through digital platforms. These digital versions cannot be apostilled. You will need to request a physical diploma reprint or official paper transcript from your institution. Some institutions charge a fee and require several weeks for reprints. ### Accreditation Letter May Be Required Some destination countries require not just the apostilled diploma but also a separate letter confirming the institution's accreditation. This letter typically must be issued by the institution or a recognized accreditation body and then separately notarized and apostilled. ### Institution Seal Alone May Not Suffice Having your school's embossed seal on the diploma does not automatically mean the document can be apostilled. In states where notarization is required, the school seal is irrelevant to the apostille process - the notary's commission and signature are what the Secretary of State authenticates. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a diploma & transcript issued in California if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a California diploma & transcript is apostilled in California regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States. You upload or ship the document to us and we handle the California filing. ### Do I have to mail my California diploma & transcript? Not always. True Copy processing starts with a clear upload and is the faster path for most diploma & transcript orders. Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Does my diploma need to be notarized before getting an apostille? In most states, yes. Because diplomas are issued by private or public educational institutions (not government offices), the Secretary of State typically does not have the school official's signature on file. A notary public must first notarize the diploma, and then the apostille authenticates the notary's signature. We'll confirm the exact requirements for your state. ### Can I apostille a transcript that was sent directly to me in a sealed envelope? Yes, as long as it is an official transcript bearing the registrar's signature and institutional seal. The sealed envelope is an integrity measure for the receiving institution, but the apostille process requires the document itself to be accessible for notarization and authentication. Opening the sealed envelope is necessary and does not invalidate the transcript for apostille purposes. ### I graduated from an online university. Can my diploma be apostilled? If your online university is accredited and issues physical diplomas with authorized signatures, yes. The key factor is state accreditation and the physical document having proper signatures. Diploma mills or unaccredited institutions may produce documents that some destination countries will not accept, regardless of apostille. ### Do I need to apostille both my diploma and my transcript, or just one? This depends entirely on what the destination country or institution requires. Some foreign universities accept just an apostilled transcript for admissions. Others require both the diploma and transcript to be apostilled. Professional licensing boards abroad often require both. Check with the receiving institution or let us advise you during the review. ### My high school diploma doesn't have a signature on it. What do I do?

In most states, the Secretary of State can only apostille a document bearing a signature they have on file. Since school officials' signatures are typically not on file, the document must first be notarized by a commissioned notary public in that state, and the notary's signature is what gets apostilled. ### Digital Diplomas and Electronic Transcripts Many universities now issue diplomas and transcripts electronically or through digital platforms. These digital versions cannot be apostilled. You will need to request a physical diploma reprint or official paper transcript from your institution. Some institutions charge a fee and require several weeks for reprints. ### Accreditation Letter May Be Required Some destination countries require not just the apostilled diploma but also a separate letter confirming the institution's accreditation. This letter typically must be issued by the institution or a recognized accreditation body and then separately notarized and apostilled. ### Institution Seal Alone May Not Suffice Having your school's embossed seal on the diploma does not automatically mean the document can be apostilled. In states where notarization is required, the school seal is irrelevant to the apostille process - the notary's commission and signature are what the Secretary of State authenticates. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a diploma & transcript issued in Nebraska if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a Nebraska diploma & transcript is apostilled in Nebraska regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States.

Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Does my diploma need to be notarized before getting an apostille? In most states, yes. Because diplomas are issued by private or public educational institutions (not government offices), the Secretary of State typically does not have the school official's signature on file. A notary public must first notarize the diploma, and then the apostille authenticates the notary's signature. We'll confirm the exact requirements for your state. ### Can I apostille a transcript that was sent directly to me in a sealed envelope? Yes, as long as it is an official transcript bearing the registrar's signature and institutional seal. The sealed envelope is an integrity measure for the receiving institution, but the apostille process requires the document itself to be accessible for notarization and authentication. Opening the sealed envelope is necessary and does not invalidate the transcript for apostille purposes. ### I graduated from an online university. Can my diploma be apostilled? If your online university is accredited and issues physical diplomas with authorized signatures, yes. The key factor is state accreditation and the physical document having proper signatures. Diploma mills or unaccredited institutions may produce documents that some destination countries will not accept, regardless of apostille. ### Do I need to apostille both my diploma and my transcript, or just one? This depends entirely on what the destination country or institution requires. Some foreign universities accept just an apostilled transcript for admissions. Others require both the diploma and transcript to be apostilled. Professional licensing boards abroad often require both. Check with the receiving institution or let us advise you during the review. ### My high school diploma doesn't have a signature on it. What do I do? Some high school diplomas are mass-printed without individual signatures. In this case, you would need to either (1) contact the school district to obtain a signed copy or official letter confirming your graduation, or (2) have the diploma notarized with an accompanying affidavit.

An apostilled divorce decree proves the legal dissolution of a prior marriage and is frequently required for remarriage in a foreign country, immigration applications, international property settlements, and name changes with foreign authorities. Because divorce records can involve different court documents - final decrees, judgments, certificates of divorce - understanding which document your destination country requires is the first step. We review your specific situation and ensure you submit the correct document for apostille.

You need to request a certified copy from the courthouse, which will include the clerk's signature and seal. ### Missing Court Seal The certified copy must bear the court's official seal (raised, embossed, or stamped). Some courts issue certified copies with only a stamp and signature but no raised seal. If the Secretary of State requires a raised seal, the document will be rejected. We verify this during our review. ### Decree vs. Certificate of Divorce Confusion Some states issue both a divorce decree (the court order dissolving the marriage) and a certificate of divorce (a vital records summary document). These are different documents. Some destination countries accept either; others specifically require one or the other. Submitting the wrong one can delay your process by weeks. ### Interlocutory or Temporary Orders Some divorces involve intermediate orders before the final decree is entered. Only the final decree or final judgment of divorce can be apostilled for use abroad. If you submit a temporary or interlocutory order, it will be rejected by the destination country even if successfully apostilled. ## Common questions ### Can you apostille a divorce decree issued in Pennsylvania if I live somewhere else? Yes. The apostille always comes from the state that issued the document, so a Pennsylvania divorce decree is apostilled in Pennsylvania regardless of where you live now, including outside the United States. You upload or ship the document to us and we handle the Pennsylvania filing. ### Do I have to mail my Pennsylvania divorce decree? Not always. True Copy processing starts with a clear upload and is the faster path for most divorce decree orders. Original Document Processing is for destinations that require the apostille attached to the original; in that case you ship the document to us and transit time is separate from processing. ### Do I need to apostille my divorce decree to get remarried abroad? In most Hague Convention countries, yes. Foreign civil registries require proof that any prior marriage was legally dissolved before they will register a new marriage. An apostilled divorce decree (or apostilled certificate of divorce, depending on the country) serves as that proof. ### My divorce was finalized 15 years ago. Can I still get it apostilled? Absolutely. There is no expiration on when a divorce decree can be apostilled. You will need a certified copy from the court that granted the divorce - contact the clerk of court in the county where the divorce was finalized. Even if the court has archived the file, they can issue a new certified copy. ### What if my divorce was granted in a different state than where I live now? The apostille must come from the state where the divorce was granted, not your current state of residence. For example, if your divorce was finalized in Illinois but you now live in Georgia, the apostille must be issued by the Illinois Secretary of State. We process apostilles from all 50 states. ### Should I apostille the divorce decree or the certificate of divorce? This depends on what your destination country requires. The divorce decree is the court order itself, while the certificate of divorce is a summary document issued by the state's vital records office. Many countries prefer the decree. We can advise you based on your specific destination country during our document review. ### Can both parties use the same apostilled divorce decree? Technically, the apostilled decree covers the divorce case itself, not a specific party. However, in practice, each party should have their own apostilled certified copy because foreign institutions typically retain the original. We recommend each party order and apostille their own certified copy. ## Related guides [Pennsylvania apostille services](https://apostilles.us/apostille-pennsylvania)[Divorce Decree apostille guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-divorce-decree)[Death Certificate apostille for Pennsylvania](https://apostilles.us/death-certificate-apostille-pennsylvania) Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/divorce-decree-apostille-pennsylvania --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Apostille by Country](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) / Germany Destination country # Apostille for Germany Germany is one of the most common destinations for U.S. apostilles, whether you are relocating for work, pursuing higher education, or registering a marriage.

June 15, 2025 ## What Is an Apostille? An apostille is an official certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another country. It was established by the Hague Convention of 1961 (formally known as the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents) to simplify the process of verifying documents across international borders. Before the apostille system existed, getting a document recognized abroad required a lengthy process called "legalization" that could involve multiple government agencies, consulates, and embassies. The apostille replaced this cumbersome process with a single, standardized certificate that is recognized by all member countries of the Hague Convention. An apostille does not validate the content of your document. It certifies three things: the authenticity of the signature on the document, the capacity in which the person signing the document acted, and (where applicable) the identity of the seal or stamp on the document. This distinction is important - an apostille on a birth certificate confirms that the registrar's signature is authentic, but it does not independently verify the birth information itself. ## Who Needs an Apostille? You need an apostille whenever a foreign government, institution, or organization in a Hague Convention member country requires proof that your U.S. document is authentic. This comes up more often than most people expect. Common situations where apostilles are required include immigration and visa applications, getting married in another country, enrolling in a foreign university, accepting employment abroad, registering a business in a foreign country, international adoption proceedings, real estate transactions abroad, and settling estates with international assets. If the country where you need to use your document is not a member of the Hague Convention, you will need an authentication certificate (sometimes called legalization) instead. The process for authentication is different and typically involves the U.S. Department of State and the embassy or consulate of the destination country. We handle both apostille and authentication requests. ## State vs. Federal Documents One of the most important things to understand about the apostille process is that different documents are processed by different authorities. Getting this wrong is one of the most common causes of delays and rejections. ### State-Issued Documents State documents and documents carrying a state-commissioned notarial act use a state apostille path. This category includes vital records, court records, academic records, corporate documents, powers of attorney, affidavits, and other public or notarized documents. Apostilles.us offers two established state paths. True Copy State processing begins with a clear digital copy and authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing works with the qualifying signature or certification on the physical document. Both options are available through the order flow. ### Federally Issued Documents Most federal-issued documents are processed through our True Copy State Apostille service. Federal Original processing is also available through the U.S. Department of State. FBI background checks are handled through our Federal Apostille service. For FBI processing, upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website or send the original physical FBI document. A scan or photocopy of a printed FBI report is not used for federal processing. Estimated federal processing is 6–14 business days, federal processing cannot be expedited, and shipping time is separate. ## Step-by-Step Process Getting an apostille involves several clear steps. - Step 1: Select the destination. Hague Convention destinations use apostille processing; other destinations use authentication and legalization. - Step 2: Choose the service path. True Copy State begins with a digital copy, Original Document Processing begins with physical-document intake, and FBI background checks use Federal Apostille processing. - Step 3: Prepare the document. Include every page and keep text, seals, signatures, stamps, and attachments visible. FBI digital intake requires the original downloadable FBI PDF. - Step 4: Place the order. Add each document, the destination, processing tier, and tracked shipping selection. - Step 5: Receive the completed document. We manage the selected process and return the completed packet using the shipping in the order. ## Common Mistakes to Avoid Most avoidable delays begin with an incomplete submission. Upload every page in color, include the document edges, and make sure text, seals, signatures, and stamps are readable. Do not crop attachments or omit reverse sides that contain information. Choose the service path you want at intake: a digital-copy submission for True Copy State processing, physical-document intake for Original Document Processing, or the dedicated FBI federal intake. Processing time and shipping time are shown separately so the order timeline remains clear. ## How We Help Apostilles.us handles True Copy State, Original Document, Federal Apostille, authentication, and legalization work for documents issued in the United States and abroad. You can begin online with any document and select the processing path that fits the form you want returned. True Copy State processing begins with a clear scan and keeps the source document with you. Original Document Processing begins with physical-document intake. FBI background checks use the dedicated federal path. Completed orders can be returned in the United States or shipped internationally with tracking. ## Frequently Asked Questions How much does an apostille cost?

Apostille guide # Apostille vs. Authentication: What's the Difference? Not sure whether you need an apostille or an authentication certificate? This guide explains the key differences and helps you determine the right process for your documents. July 1, 2025 ## What Is an Apostille? An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the signature and official capacity behind a public document or notarial act for use in a Hague Convention destination. It does not validate the underlying facts written in the document. Apostilles.us processes documents issued in the United States and abroad. True Copy State processing authenticates a notary’s certification, Original Document Processing authenticates the qualifying signature or certification on the physical document, and Federal Apostille is the dedicated path for FBI background checks. ## What Is an Authentication Certificate? An authentication certificate (also called legalization) is the process used for countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Unlike the streamlined apostille process, authentication typically requires multiple steps and involves more government agencies. The authentication process for U.S. documents generally requires these steps: First, the document may need to be notarized (if it is not already an official government document). Then it must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State. Finally, it must be legalized by the embassy or consulate of the destination country in the United States. This multi-step process takes longer and costs more than an apostille. Each step must be completed in sequence, and each agency has its own processing timeline. The embassy or consulate legalization step can be particularly time-consuming, as each country's embassy has its own procedures, fees, and turnaround times. ## Hague Convention vs. Non-Hague Countries The destination determines the certificate family. Hague Convention destinations use the apostille process. Other destinations use authentication and legalization. Because Convention participation can change, this guide uses the current destination selected in the order rather than publishing a permanent country matrix. Apostilles.us handles both paths. The same document categories can be processed for either destination type, while the completed certificate chain differs. ## When Do You Need Which? Use an apostille service when the document is going to a Hague Convention destination. Use authentication and legalization when the destination is outside that framework. Apostilles.us offers both through the same intake. After choosing the destination and document category, select True Copy State, Original Document, Federal Apostille, authentication, or legalization as the service path. This keeps the process direct without requiring customers to research government routing. ## Process Comparison An apostille is a streamlined certificate for Hague Convention destinations. Authentication and legalization form a longer certificate chain for other destinations. Both authenticate official signatures or seals; neither independently verifies the underlying facts written in the document. Apostilles.us manages either service path and provides tracked return delivery. Processing and transit remain separate parts of the timeline. ## Frequently Asked Questions Can I use an apostille in a non-Hague country? No. Non-Hague countries do not recognize apostilles. You must go through the authentication (legalization) process, which involves the U.S. Department of State and the destination country's embassy or consulate. What if I don't know whether my destination country is a Hague member? Is an apostille the same as notarization? ## Related Resources [Apostille Requirements](https://apostilles.us/requirements)[Country Index](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country)[Hague Convention Guide](https://apostilles.us/blog/hague-convention) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Apostille guide # Apostille vs. Notarization: What Is the Difference? Notarization and an apostille do two different jobs. A notary certifies a document domestically; an apostille authenticates that act for use abroad. Here is how they fit together and which one you actually need. June 12, 2026 ## The Short Answer People search for “apostille vs notarization” because the two get mixed up constantly, but they do different jobs. Notarization happens at the document level: a notary public witnesses a signature, administers an oath, or certifies a copy, and adds a stamp and signature. It is a domestic act performed inside the United States. An apostille is a separate certificate issued by a state Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State. It does not look at the content of your document; it authenticates the signature and authority of the public official who acted on it, very often the notary. It exists specifically to make the document usable in another country under the 1961 Hague Convention. The simplest way to hold the two ideas together: notarization is a building block, and an apostille is the international layer placed on top. A notarization makes a document trustworthy at home; an apostille makes that trust portable across borders. You can have a notarization without an apostille, and many documents that get apostilled were notarized first so the state has an official signature to certify. ## What a Notarization Does (and Does Not Do) A notary public is a state-commissioned official whose job is to deter fraud. When you sign a power of attorney, an affidavit, or a sworn statement in front of a notary, the notary verifies your identity, confirms you are signing willingly, and records the act with a stamp and signature. A notary can also certify that a photocopy is a true and accurate copy of an original document. That certified copy is the foundation of true copy processing. What a notarization does not do is carry any force outside the United States on its own. A foreign government has no way to know whether a stamp from a notary in Ohio or Texas is genuine, and it has no obligation to accept it. The notary's commission is recognized by their own state, not by a ministry of foreign affairs abroad. That is the gap an apostille fills. The receiving country does not need to verify your individual notary; it only needs to trust the single competent authority that issued the apostille. So a notarization is valid and useful domestically, but for international use it is almost always just the first step, not the finished product. ## What an Apostille Does An apostille authenticates the signature and official capacity behind a public document or notarial act. It does not certify that every statement inside the underlying document is true. A True Copy apostille authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing authenticates the qualifying public signature or certification on the physical document. Most federal-issued documents can use True Copy State processing, Federal Original processing is also available, and FBI background checks use the dedicated Federal Apostille service. ## When You Need Both For a large share of documents, the honest answer to “notarize or apostille?” is both, in that order . The notarization creates an official signature, and the apostille certifies that signature for use abroad. - A notarized true copy of your scan. A notary certifies that the copy matches your original, and then the state apostilles the notary's certification. This is how you can get an apostille without ever mailing your original document. - A power of attorney or affidavit. You sign in front of a notary, and the notarized document is then apostilled so it can be used by a bank, court, or registry in another country. - A diploma or corporate document. These are signed by a school or company official, not a government official, so a notary acts first and the apostille certifies the notary. In each case the apostille is not certifying the underlying facts; it is certifying the notary. That is why the sequence matters. If you apostille before the document is properly notarized, the state has no official signature to authenticate and the request is rejected. ## When You Need Neither, or Something Else Not every document needs an apostille, and not every destination accepts one. If your document will only ever be used inside the United States, you generally need no apostille at all. A notarization may be enough for a domestic bank, court, or agency, and the international layer simply does not apply. The other major exception is the destination country. An apostille only works for countries that belong to the Hague Apostille Convention. If your document is going to a country that is not a member, the apostille will not be accepted. Instead you need the older process called embassy legalization (sometimes called authentication), where the document is certified by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized by that country's embassy or consulate. It is slower and involves more steps, but it is the correct path for non-member countries. So the decision comes down to two questions: will the document be used abroad, and is the destination a Hague member? Domestic use means a notarization is often all you need. International use in a member country means an apostille. International use in a non-member country means legalization. ## How to Get Both in One Step Online Apostilles.us combines document preparation and apostille processing in one online order. For True Copy State processing, upload a clear, complete color scan. The completed apostille authenticates the notary’s certification, and your source document remains with you. Original Document Processing is available when you want the qualifying signature or certification on the physical document authenticated. Pricing and available processing tiers are displayed in the order, and tracked shipping is included in the order. Transit time is separate from processing. ## Frequently Asked Questions Is a notarized document valid abroad? Usually not on its own. A notarization is recognized within the United States, but a foreign government has no way to verify a U.S. notary's stamp and no obligation to accept it. To use a notarized document in another Hague Convention country, you typically need an apostille on top, which authenticates the notary's act for international use.

State-by-State Guide Apostille guide # How Long Does an Apostille Take? State-by-State Guide Processing times for apostilles vary dramatically by state. This guide breaks down what to expect, which states process fastest, and how to avoid delays. August 10, 2025 ## Factors That Affect Processing Time Apostille processing times are not uniform across the United States. Several factors determine how quickly your documents will be processed, and understanding them helps you plan effectively. State office capacity and volume: Each Secretary of State office handles apostille requests alongside many other functions. States with high request volumes (like California, New York, Texas, and Florida) may have longer baseline processing times simply due to demand. Seasonal variations also play a role - many states see increased volume in spring and summer due to immigration deadlines and study abroad programs. Submission method: Most states offer both mail-in and in-person (walk-in) processing. Walk-in processing is almost always faster, often available same-day, while mail-in requests include postal transit time in addition to processing time. Some states also accept electronic submissions, which can speed up the process. Service level selected: Many states offer standard and expedited processing tiers with different turnaround times. Expedited processing typically costs more but can reduce processing from weeks to days. Document type and condition: The complexity of the document and whether it meets all requirements affects processing time. Documents that require additional verification or that have issues (missing notarization, unclear signatures) will take longer because they may be returned for correction. ## Fastest States for Apostille Processing True Copy State service is offered in Standard, Priority, Express, and Next Business Day tiers. These are service tiers, not a promise that every government office follows one permanent schedule. Original Document Processing options are displayed during checkout. Federal Apostille processing is estimated at 6–14 business days and does not have an expedited federal tier. Inbound and return shipping time are separate. ## Slowest States for Apostille Processing Static state rankings become inaccurate as office volume and procedures change. Apostilles.us therefore displays the processing tier available for the selected service rather than publishing a slowest-state table. Customers can choose a True Copy State tier or an available Original Document option in the order. The selected tier appears with the order details, while tracked transit remains separate. ## Expedited Processing Options True Copy State processing is available in multiple tiers, including accelerated options. Original Document tiers are displayed during checkout for the selected order. Federal Apostille processing does not have an expedited federal tier. Processing begins once intake requirements for the selected service are met. Inbound and return transit are separate and should be considered when working toward a deadline. ## How to Avoid Delays Submit complete, legible documents. Include every page, capture the full edges, and make sure seals, signatures, stamps, and small print are readable. Use the digital intake for True Copy State processing and the physical-document instructions for Original Document Processing. For FBI background checks, use the original downloadable FBI PDF or the original physical FBI document. A scan of a printed report is not used for federal processing. Shipping time is separate from processing. ## Related Resources [Processing Times & Options](https://apostilles.us/processing-times)[State-by-State Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-state)[Fastest States for Apostille](https://apostilles.us/blog/fastest-states) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Apostille guide # What Is the Hague Apostille Convention? The Hague Apostille Convention is the international treaty that makes apostilles possible. Here is what you need to know about how it works and which countries participate. September 1, 2025 ## History of the Hague Convention The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents was concluded on October 5, 1961, at the Hague Conference on Private International Law. It entered into force on January 24, 1965, and the United States became a party to the Convention on October 15, 1981. Before the Convention existed, the process for authenticating a document for use in another country was cumbersome and time-consuming. A document might need to be verified by a local court clerk, then authenticated by the state's Secretary of State, then certified by the U.S. Department of State, and finally legalized by the embassy or consulate of the destination country. This multi-layered process (known as "chain authentication" or "full legalization") could take weeks or months and was a significant barrier to international commerce, travel, and personal affairs. The Convention was created to solve this problem by establishing a single, standardized certificate - the apostille - that would be recognized by all member countries. The word "apostille" comes from the French term meaning "certification" or "annotation." The Convention specified the exact format of the apostille, ensuring consistency across all member countries. ## Member Countries The Apostille Convention applies between participating destinations for which the Convention is in force. Participation changes over time, so an evergreen service page should not rely on a fixed country count or copied list. Select the destination in the order to use the appropriate apostille, authentication, or legalization service. This keeps the destination context attached to the document without publishing mutable operational rules. ## How the Apostille Convention Works The Convention designates competent authorities to issue apostilles. U.S. state authorities issue apostilles for qualifying state signatures and notarial acts, while the U.S. Department of State issues Federal Original apostilles. Apostilles.us also offers True Copy State processing for most federal-issued documents; FBI background checks use our Federal Apostille service. An apostille authenticates a signature, the signer’s official capacity, and an identified seal or stamp. It does not validate every statement inside the underlying document. The standardized certificate replaces additional diplomatic legalization for Hague Convention destinations. Other destinations use authentication and legalization instead. ## Non-Member Countries and Alternatives Documents going to destinations outside the Apostille Convention use authentication and legalization rather than an apostille-only path. Apostilles.us handles that multi-stage service for U.S.-issued and foreign-issued documents. The public distinction is simple: apostille for Hague Convention destinations; authentication and legalization for other destinations. Destination-specific operational steps remain part of processing rather than a static country matrix. ## Impact on International Document Use The Hague Apostille Convention has had a profound impact on how documents are used internationally. By simplifying and standardizing the authentication process, it has reduced costs, shortened timelines, and made international transactions more accessible for individuals and businesses alike. For individuals, the Convention means that getting married abroad, studying at a foreign university, emigrating to a new country, or adopting a child internationally is significantly simpler from a documentation standpoint. What once required months of bureaucratic processing can now often be accomplished in days or weeks. For businesses, the Convention facilitates international commerce by simplifying the authentication of corporate documents needed for foreign entity registration, cross-border contracts, and international banking. This is particularly important for small and medium-sized businesses that lack dedicated legal departments to navigate complex legalization processes. The Convention has also adapted to the digital age. The electronic Apostille Program (e-APP), launched in 2006, allows competent authorities to issue electronic apostilles (e-Apostilles) and maintain electronic registers for verification. Several U.S. states now participate in the e-APP, and the program continues to expand globally. ## Frequently Asked Questions When did the United States join the Hague Convention? The United States became a party to the Hague Apostille Convention on October 15, 1981. Since then, all 50 states have designated their Secretary of State (or equivalent) as the competent authority for issuing apostilles on state-level documents. Is the Hague Convention the same as the Hague Adoption Convention? ## Related Resources [Country Index](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country)[Apostille Requirements](https://apostilles.us/requirements)[Apostille vs. Authentication](https://apostilles.us/blog/apostille-vs-authentication) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Here are the most common reasons requests fail and what you can do to prevent them. October 15, 2025 ## Document Condition Issues The physical condition and quality of your document is one of the most common reasons for apostille rejection. Secretary of State offices and the U.S. Department of State have standards for what they will accept, and documents that do not meet these standards are returned without processing. Illegible documents: If the text, signatures, seals, or stamps on your document are not clearly readable, the issuing authority may reject the request. This is especially common when documents are old, have been folded repeatedly, or have faded over time. For scanned submissions, blurry scans, low resolution, or poor lighting can make an otherwise acceptable document illegible. Damaged documents: Torn pages, water damage, staining that obscures text or seals, and documents that have been laminated (some authorities reject laminated documents because seals cannot be verified) can all lead to rejection. If your original document is damaged, you may need to obtain a new certified copy from the issuing agency before requesting an apostille. Incomplete documents: Missing pages are a frequent issue. Multi-page documents must be submitted in full - if any page is missing, the request will be rejected. This includes back pages, certification pages, and notarial certificates that may seem like separate documents but are actually part of the complete document. ## Wrong Copy Type Apostilles.us offers separate paths for digital copies and physical documents. True Copy State processing begins with a clear scan and authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing begins with the physical document and authenticates the qualifying signature or certification presented on that route. Choose the path you want when ordering rather than trying to convert a physical-document procedure into a copy procedure yourself. ## Notary Problems A True Copy apostille authenticates a notary’s certification of the copy. Apostilles.us handles that preparation within the True Copy State service, so customers do not need to publish or research state-by-state notarial rules. Already-notarized documents and physical originals can also use Original Document Processing. Upload or submit the complete document without altering seals, signatures, attachments, or notarial certificates. ## State-Specific Requirements State procedures change and are not reproduced here as a public operational matrix. Apostilles.us processes documents for all 50 states and the District of Columbia through True Copy State or Original Document Processing. The state named on the apostille can differ from the source document’s state in True Copy processing because the apostille authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing is the path for customers seeking authentication tied to the physical document’s qualifying signature or certification. ## How to Avoid Rejection Begin with a complete, legible document and choose the processing path you want. Include every page and avoid modifying seals, signatures, stamps, or attachments. Apostilles.us offers True Copy State, Original Document, Federal Apostille, authentication, and legalization services. The destination and document remain attached to the order, while private operational exceptions stay within processing rather than public guidance. ## Related Resources [Apostille Requirements](https://apostilles.us/requirements)[State-by-State Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-state)[Notary Requirements Guide](https://apostilles.us/blog/notary-requirements) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Apostille guide # Do I Need an Apostille for My FBI Background Check? FBI background checks are one of the most commonly apostilled federal documents. Learn when you need one, how the federal apostille process works, and what to watch out for. November 1, 2025 ## When FBI Background Checks Need an Apostille FBI background checks (formally known as FBI Identity History Summary checks) are among the most frequently apostilled documents in the United States. They are required by many foreign governments and organizations as proof that you do not have a criminal record in the United States. The most common situations requiring an apostilled FBI background check include immigration and residency visa applications (nearly all countries require one), international employment (especially for teaching positions, government work, and positions involving children), international adoption (required for both parents in most programs), professional licensing abroad, and long-term visa applications (including retirement and investor visas). If a foreign government, employer, institution, or agency has asked you for a "police clearance," "criminal background check," or "certificate of no criminal record" from the United States, they are almost certainly referring to the FBI Identity History Summary. This is the only nationwide criminal background check recognized by foreign authorities - state-level background checks are generally not accepted as a substitute. ## Federal vs. State Process FBI background checks use the Federal Apostille service. Upload the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website or send the original physical FBI document. A scan or photocopy of a printed report is not used for federal processing. Most other federal-issued documents can be processed through True Copy State service. Federal Original processing is also available through the U.S. Department of State. ## FBI Channelers and How to Get Your Report Use the original downloadable FBI PDF obtained from the FBI website for digital federal intake. If you have the original physical FBI document, use the physical intake instead. A scan or photocopy of a printed FBI report is not used for federal processing. This guide does not make claims about every third-party report format. ## Processing Time for FBI Apostille Estimated Federal Apostille processing is 6–14 business days. Apostilles.us does not offer an expedited federal tier. Shipping time is separate from processing. Digital intake avoids inbound shipping when the original downloadable FBI PDF is available. Physical-document intake remains available for the original physical FBI document. ## Common Issues with FBI Background Check Apostilles The federal intake must begin with the original downloadable FBI PDF or the original physical FBI document. Do not substitute a scan or photocopy of a printed report for the original digital file. Upload the complete PDF without converting or reprinting it. For a physical original, follow the shipping intake. Federal processing and shipping are separate parts of the timeline. ## Frequently Asked Questions Can a state-level background check substitute for an FBI check? In most cases, no. Foreign governments and institutions specifically require the FBI Identity History Summary because it is the only nationwide criminal background check. State-level checks only cover one state and are generally not accepted as substitutes. However, some countries or programs may accept state checks in addition to (not instead of) the FBI check. How long is an apostilled FBI background check valid? ## Related Resources [Document Types](https://apostilles.us/document-types)[International Employment Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-for-employment)[International Adoption Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-for-adoption) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Learn about notarization, accreditation letters, and state-specific rules for apostilling academic documents. December 1, 2025 ## When Diplomas Need an Apostille Diplomas and transcripts need apostilles in a variety of international situations. The most common include applying to a foreign university for graduate or professional study, undergoing credential evaluation (through services like WES, ECE, or NACES members), applying for professional licensing in another country (medical, legal, engineering, teaching, etc.), meeting employment requirements abroad (especially for teaching positions), and immigration applications where educational qualifications are relevant. It is worth noting that the destination country or institution determines whether an apostille is required. Some foreign universities accept notarized copies without apostille, while others strictly require the full apostille. Always confirm the specific requirements of the receiving institution or authority before starting the process. If you are applying to multiple institutions or programs in different countries, you may need multiple apostilled copies. In that case, notarized true copies of your diploma can each be individually apostilled, allowing you to keep your original diploma safe while meeting multiple application requirements. ## Notarization Requirements for Academic Documents Academic records can use True Copy State or Original Document Processing. True Copy begins with a clear scan and authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing begins with the physical academic document and follows the selected intake. This public guide does not publish state, county, school, or notarization exception matrices. Submit the complete diploma, transcript, letter, or certificate through the service path you want. ## Accreditation Letters Supporting academic letters, enrollment confirmations, accreditation records, diplomas, and transcripts can be submitted as separate documents. Include every page and keep letterhead, signatures, seals, and attachments visible. Choose True Copy State processing for digital-copy intake or Original Document Processing for physical-document intake. ## State Variations in Diploma Apostille Apostilles.us processes academic documents for all 50 states and the District of Columbia without publishing a mutable state-by-state rules matrix. True Copy State and Original Document Processing are both available. For True Copy processing, the apostille state can differ from the school’s state because the apostille authenticates the notary. Original Document Processing is the separate physical-document path. ## Common Issues with Diploma Apostilles Upload the complete academic document in color, including reverse sides, attachments, seals, and signatures. Avoid cropped images and make sure small print is readable. Submit each document that needs its own apostille as a separate item.

Add translation to the order for the documents and target language selected. This guide does not claim that every recipient or destination requires translation. The receiving organization controls how it wants translated material presented. ## Frequently Asked Questions Do I need to apostille documents from every country I have lived in? That depends on the destination country's requirements. Some countries (notably Germany) require police clearance or background checks from every country where you have lived for a significant period. U.S. documents would be apostilled; documents from other countries would need their own form of authentication based on those countries' membership in the Hague Convention.

This guide explains state-by-state differences, electronic notarization rules, and common mistakes to avoid. February 10, 2026 ## Why Notarization Matters for Apostille Many documents need to be notarized before they can be apostilled. Understanding why this step exists helps you navigate the process more effectively. Government-issued documents - such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates issued by a vital records office - typically do not need notarization because they already bear the official signature and seal of a government officer. The Secretary of State can verify these signatures directly against their records. However, documents that are not signed by government officials - such as diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, affidavits, corporate resolutions, and many other commonly apostilled documents - require notarization as an intermediate step. The notary public certifies the authenticity of the document or the identity of the signer. The Secretary of State then verifies the notary's signature and commission status and issues the apostille. In essence, the notary serves as the bridge between a private document and the government authority that issues the apostille. The Secretary of State is certifying the notary's signature, not the content of the underlying document. This is why the notary's commission must be current and in good standing with the state where you are seeking the apostille. ## State-by-State Notary Differences A True Copy apostille authenticates the notary’s certification. The apostille’s state can differ from the source document’s state because it is the notarial act, not the underlying source document, that the state authenticates. Apostilles.us manages the True Copy preparation. Customers can also select Original Document Processing for the physical-document path without researching a public state-by-state notary matrix. ## Electronic vs. Wet Ink Notarization Customers do not need to choose or arrange a notarial technology for True Copy State processing; Apostilles.us handles the notarial certification used for that service. Begin with a clear, complete color scan. If you already have a physical notarized document and want that document processed, use Original Document Processing and follow the physical intake. ## Common Notary Errors That Cause Apostille Rejection Do not crop, detach, rewrite, or cover an existing notarial certificate. Submit the complete document, including attachments and reverse sides, so every visible seal and signature remains part of the intake. For True Copy State processing, Apostilles.us prepares the notarial certification. For an existing physical notarization, use Original Document Processing. ## Related Resources [State-by-State Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-state)[Apostille Requirements](https://apostilles.us/requirements)[Common Rejections](https://apostilles.us/blog/common-rejections) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Learn the requirements for apostilling a POA and how acceptance varies by country. February 20, 2026 ## When a Power of Attorney Needs an Apostille A power of attorney (POA) is a legal document that grants one person (the agent or attorney-in-fact) the authority to act on behalf of another person (the principal) in specified legal or financial matters. When these matters involve a foreign country, the POA typically needs an apostille to be recognized abroad. Common situations requiring an apostilled POA include international real estate transactions (buying, selling, or managing property abroad), opening or managing foreign bank accounts, representing someone in legal proceedings in another country, signing contracts or corporate documents on behalf of someone abroad, handling inheritance or estate matters in a foreign country, and authorizing someone to conduct government registrations or filings in another country. In each of these situations, the foreign institution or authority needs assurance that the POA is a genuine legal document. The apostille provides this assurance by certifying the authenticity of the notary's signature and seal on the POA. ## Notarization Requirements for POA Apostille Powers of attorney can use True Copy State or Original Document Processing. True Copy begins with a complete scan and authenticates the notary’s certification of the copy. Original Document Processing begins with the physical power of attorney. Include the complete instrument, all signature pages, attachments, exhibits, seals, and existing notarizations. This guide does not publish jurisdiction- or recipient-specific execution rules. ## General vs. Limited Power of Attorney The scope of a power of attorney affects how it is received abroad. Understanding the difference between general and limited (or specific) POAs is important for international use. General Power of Attorney: A general POA grants broad authority to the agent to act on behalf of the principal in a wide range of matters - financial, legal, business, and personal. While this provides maximum flexibility, some foreign authorities are wary of general POAs because of the broad scope of power they convey. Some countries or institutions may refuse a general POA and require a specific one instead. Limited (Specific) Power of Attorney: A limited POA restricts the agent's authority to specific actions or transactions. For example, a POA might authorize the agent only to sell a specific property, sign a particular contract, or open a bank account at a named institution. Most foreign authorities prefer limited POAs because the scope of authority is clearly defined and there is less risk of misuse. Recommendation for international use: When creating a POA for international use, we generally recommend a limited POA that specifically describes the actions the agent is authorized to take. This increases the likelihood of acceptance by foreign authorities and reduces the risk of disputes about the scope of the agent's authority. Consult with an attorney familiar with the destination country's laws to ensure your POA includes the correct language and provisions. ## Country-Specific POA Acceptance Powers of attorney are used by banks, courts, registries, companies, and private parties abroad. Those recipients control the wording and authority they require in the underlying instrument. Apostilles.us processes the completed document through apostille, authentication, or legalization. This page intentionally avoids country and institution acceptance guarantees. ## Related Resources [Power of Attorney Apostille](https://apostilles.us/apostille-power-of-attorney)[Business Use Case](https://apostilles.us/apostille-for-business)[State-by-State Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-state) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Learn which corporate documents need apostilles, how Secretary of State certification works, and what to watch out for. March 1, 2026 ## Which Corporate Documents Need Apostilles International business operations frequently require apostilled corporate documents. Foreign governments, banks, business registries, and partners need verified proof of your company's legal existence, good standing, and authorized representatives. Articles of Incorporation / Certificate of Formation: This foundational document proves that your company legally exists. It is typically required for foreign entity registration, opening foreign bank accounts, and entering into international contracts. The apostille certifies the Secretary of State's seal and signature on the certified copy. Certificate of Good Standing: Also called a certificate of existence or certificate of status in some states, this document confirms that your company is currently active and in compliance with state requirements. Foreign authorities use it to verify that your company is not dissolved, suspended, or revoked. Many countries require this certificate to be recently issued (within 30-90 days). Corporate Resolutions: Board resolutions or member resolutions authorizing specific international activities - such as establishing a foreign subsidiary, appointing a foreign representative, or entering into a specific transaction - often need apostilles. These must be properly executed and notarized before apostille. Bylaws and Operating Agreements: Some foreign registries require copies of your company's governing documents. These typically need to be certified as true copies (often by the corporate secretary or a notary) and then apostilled. Other documents: Depending on the transaction, you may also need apostilled powers of attorney, financial statements, trademark or patent certificates, franchise agreements, or licensing documents. ## Secretary of State Certification For state processing, the apostille authenticates the qualifying public signature, seal, or notarial act presented through the selected service path. It does not independently certify the business facts written in the underlying record. True Copy State processing authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing authenticates the qualifying signature or certification on the physical document. ## Hand-Signed Requirements and Authentication Details Corporate records can be submitted through True Copy State or Original Document Processing. Include every page, attachment, certification, signature, and seal that belongs to the document. This guide does not publish private wet-ink, signature, agency, or exception matrices. Choose digital-copy intake or physical-document intake in the order. ## International Business Use Cases Different international business activities require different combinations of apostilled corporate documents. Here are the most common scenarios. Foreign subsidiary registration: Registering a subsidiary or branch office in another country typically requires apostilled articles of incorporation, certificate of good standing, board resolution authorizing the foreign registration, and a power of attorney designating a local representative. Some countries also require apostilled financial statements to prove the parent company's financial capacity. Foreign bank account opening: Opening a corporate bank account abroad usually requires apostilled articles of incorporation, certificate of good standing, board resolution authorizing the account opening, and identification documents for authorized signatories. Foreign banks often have very specific documentation requirements - contact the bank directly for their complete list. International contracts and joint ventures: Cross-border business agreements may require apostilled proof of corporate existence and authority. The other party or a foreign notary may require apostilled articles of incorporation, a certificate of good standing, and a board resolution authorizing the specific transaction. Intellectual property registration: Registering trademarks, patents, or copyrights in foreign countries may require apostilled proof of the applicant company's legal existence. Some IP offices also require apostilled powers of attorney designating a local IP agent. ## Related Resources [Corporate Document Types](https://apostilles.us/apostille-corporate-document)[Business Use Case](https://apostilles.us/apostille-for-business)[Power of Attorney Guide](https://apostilles.us/blog/power-of-attorney) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

March 10, 2026 ## Ranking: Fastest to Slowest States A permanent fastest-to-slowest state ranking would quickly become stale. Apostilles.us instead publishes True Copy State tiers and displays available Original Document options during checkout. Federal Apostille processing is estimated at 6–14 business days with no expedited federal tier. Inbound and return transit are separate from all processing estimates. ## Same-Day Processing States Next Business Day and other accelerated True Copy State tiers are available as shown in the order. Availability is presented as an Apostilles.us service tier rather than a list of government counter schedules. Original Document options are displayed during checkout. Federal processing remains a separate 6–14-business-day service without an expedited federal tier. ## Expedited Processing Options True Copy State processing is available in multiple tiers, including accelerated options. Original Document tiers are displayed during checkout for the selected order. Federal Apostille processing does not have an expedited federal tier. Processing begins once intake requirements for the selected service are met. Inbound and return transit are separate and should be considered when working toward a deadline. ## Why Processing Speed Varies Understanding why some states are faster than others helps you plan more effectively and set realistic expectations. Volume: The single biggest factor is volume. States with large populations and significant international connections (California, New York, Texas, Florida) receive far more apostille requests than smaller states. Higher volume means longer queues, even with adequate staffing. Staffing and resources: Some states dedicate more staff to apostille processing than others. States that have invested in training, technology, and staffing for their authentication units tend to process requests faster. Budget constraints and hiring freezes can slow processing at any state. Technology: States that have modernized their processes - with electronic databases of notary commissions, online request submission, and digital workflows - tend to be faster than states still relying on paper-based systems. Electronic notary verification, for example, can reduce processing time significantly compared to manual verification. Seasonal fluctuations: All states experience some seasonal variation. Spring and summer tend to be busier due to study abroad programs, summer weddings abroad, and immigration deadlines. Some states see significant spikes around tax season (for documents going to countries with tax-related requirements) or at the start of the school year. Planning around these peak periods can help you avoid the slowest processing windows. ## Related Resources [Processing Times](https://apostilles.us/processing-times)[State-by-State Guide](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-state)[Processing Times by State](https://apostilles.us/blog/processing-times-by-state) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Learn about certification, state variations, and the special considerations for international custody matters. March 15, 2026 ## Court Orders vs. Divorce Decrees While court orders and divorce decrees are both issued by courts, they serve different purposes and may have different apostille requirements. Understanding the distinction helps ensure you submit the correct document. Court orders: A court order is any directive issued by a judge or court. This broad category includes restraining orders, custody orders, adoption orders, name change orders, guardianship orders, and various other judicial directives. For apostille purposes, what matters is that the order bears the court's official seal and the judge's (or clerk's) signature. Divorce decrees: A divorce decree (also called a decree of dissolution of marriage or final judgment of divorce) is the specific court order that legally ends a marriage. It typically includes the terms of the divorce - property division, custody arrangements, and support obligations. For international use, the divorce decree proves that a previous marriage has been legally terminated. Which one do you need? Foreign authorities typically ask for the "divorce decree" or "final judgment of divorce" specifically. This is distinct from other divorce-related documents like the divorce petition (the initial filing), separation agreements (which may or may not be incorporated into the decree), or certificates of dissolution (a summary document issued by some states). Submitting the wrong document can cause rejection abroad, even if it has a valid apostille. ## Certification Requirements Court records and divorce decrees can use True Copy State or Original Document Processing. True Copy begins with a complete scan and authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing begins with the physical court document. Include every page, exhibit, certification, seal, and signature. This public guide does not publish court, county, age, or clerk exception rules. ## State Variations in Court Document Apostille Apostilles.us processes court documents for all 50 states and the District of Columbia without publishing a mutable state or county rules matrix. Both True Copy State and Original Document Processing are available. The True Copy apostille authenticates the notary’s certification and can be issued by a state different from the court document’s source state. Original Document Processing is the separate physical-document path. ## International Custody Considerations Custody, adoption, guardianship, and family-court records may be presented to courts, registries, schools, or other authorities abroad. The receiving organization determines what underlying record it asks the customer to provide. Apostilles.us processes the complete document selected in the order without publishing case-specific or country-specific legal requirements.

Apostille guide # True Copy vs. Original: Which Apostille Method Do You Need? Not sure whether to use the true copy or original method for your apostille? This guide explains both methods, when to use each, and how country requirements affect your choice. March 18, 2026 ## What Is the True Copy Method? The true copy method is an apostille process where a photocopy of your document is notarized as a "true and correct copy" of the original, and then the notarized copy is submitted for apostille. The apostille is placed on the notarized copy, not on your original document. Here is how it works: You provide your original document to a notary public. The notary makes a photocopy (or you provide one), compares it to the original, and then certifies the copy as a true and correct reproduction of the original document. The notary attaches a notarial certificate (called a "copy certification by notary") to the photocopy, signs it, and applies their official seal. This notarized true copy is then submitted to the Secretary of State for apostille. The key benefit of the true copy method is that your original document is never submitted to any government office. It stays safely in your possession throughout the process. This is particularly valuable for irreplaceable documents like original birth certificates, diplomas, or court orders. The true copy method also allows you to create multiple apostilled copies of the same document - useful if you need to send documents to multiple countries or institutions simultaneously. ## What Is the Original Method? The original method (also called "original document protocol") involves submitting the actual original document - or a newly issued certified copy from the issuing authority - directly to the Secretary of State for apostille. The apostille is placed on or attached to the original document itself. With this method, the Secretary of State verifies the signature and seal of the government official who signed the original document (or the official who certified the copy). No notarization is needed because the document already bears an official government signature that the Secretary of State can verify directly. This method is commonly used for government-issued vital records (birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates) where a certified copy from the vital records office is readily available. It is also used for other government-issued documents like certificates of good standing, court-certified documents, and official government letters or certifications. The original method is generally considered more authoritative because the apostille is directly attached to a government-issued document rather than a notarized copy. However, it requires you to send your original document (or a certified copy) to the Secretary of State, which means the document is out of your possession during processing and there is a small risk of loss in transit. ## When to Use Which Method Both True Copy State and Original Document Processing are established Apostilles.us services. Choose True Copy when you want to begin with a digital copy and keep the source document with you. Choose Original Document Processing when you want the qualifying signature or certification on the physical document authenticated. Federal Apostille is the third path and is used for FBI background checks. Most other federal-issued documents can use True Copy State service, while Federal Original processing remains available. ## Cost Comparison Current prices and the available processing tiers are shown on the pricing page and in the order. This keeps the quoted amount connected to the selected document count, service path, processing tier, add-ons, and shipping. Tracked shipping is included in the order. It is not represented as included in the base service price, and transit time remains separate from processing. ## Country Acceptance and Preferences True Copy State and Original Document Processing authenticate different signatures or certifications. This page does not promise recipient acceptance or publish country-by-country exceptions. Customers can confidently select either service path. The receiving organization controls the underlying document it asks to be presented. ## Related Resources [True Copy vs. Original](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original)[Pricing](https://apostilles.us/pricing)[Apostille Requirements](https://apostilles.us/requirements) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

May 1, 2025 ## What an Apostille Does (and Does Not Do) An apostille is an official certificate used to authenticate a U.S. public document for acceptance outside the United States in countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention. If the destination country is not a participating country, you typically need an authentication certificate (sometimes called "legalization") instead of an apostille. This page explains the core requirements, including how to determine whether your document is state-issued or federally issued, what you must submit, typical timelines, and the most common issues that cause delays or rejections. An apostille does not validate the content of your document. It certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity of the signer, and (where applicable) the identity of the seal/stamp on the document so it can be recognized abroad. ## Step 1: Confirm the Destination Country Apostilles apply only when the destination country is a party to the Apostille Convention. Use the official country list to confirm participation. If your country is not listed (or the Convention is not in force between that country and the U.S.), you may need an authentication certificate instead. ## Step 2: Identify Whether Your Document Is State or Federal State apostilles are issued by the competent authority in the U.S. state where the document was issued or notarized (typically the Secretary of State). ### State-issued documents (Secretary of State) State documents and documents bearing a state-commissioned notarial act use a state apostille path. True Copy State processing authenticates a notary’s certification of the copy. Original Document Processing authenticates the qualifying signature or certification presented on the physical document. ### Federally issued documents Most federal-issued documents are processed through our True Copy State Apostille service. Federal Original processing is also available through the U.S. Department of State. FBI background checks use our Federal Apostille service. ## Step 3: Prepare Your Document Correctly Start with any document. For True Copy State processing, upload a clear, complete color scan with every page visible. For Original Document Processing, follow the physical-document intake and avoid altering existing seals, signatures, certifications, or attachments. For FBI Federal Apostille processing, upload the original downloadable FBI PDF or send the original physical FBI document. A scan of a printed report is not used for federal processing. ## What You Typically Need to Submit True Copy State intake requires a clear, complete color scan. Original Document Processing uses the physical-document preparation and mailing instructions shown in the order. FBI Federal Apostille intake uses the original downloadable FBI PDF or the original physical FBI document. Authentication, legalization, certified translation, and document retrieval can be added as separate services. ## Processing Times and Planning Federal apostille processing through the U.S. Department of State takes 6 to 14 business days, excluding federal holidays. Federal apostilles cannot be expedited regardless of urgency. State timelines vary widely by jurisdiction and service level. If you have an immigration, academic, legal, corporate, or travel deadline, submit as early as possible and plan for shipping time in addition to processing. ## Common Reasons for Delays or Rejections Incomplete pages, cropped images, unreadable text, and altered seals or signatures can interrupt intake. Submit the full document and keep all attachments together. Processing and shipping are separate. Select the service tier and return delivery needed for the order, and allow for inbound transit when using physical-document intake. ## Nationwide Coverage We handle apostille requests across all 50 U.S. states and support state-issued, federally issued, personal, academic, court, corporate, and foreign-issued documents. Submit complete, legible pages through True Copy State intake or use Original Document Processing for the physical-document path. FBI background checks use the dedicated Federal Apostille intake. ## Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/blog/apostille-requirements --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Guides & Articles](https://apostilles.us/blog) / Processing Standards, Delays, and Compliance Considerations Apostille guide # Processing Standards, Delays, and Compliance Considerations An overview of apostille and authentication processing standards, including how documents are reviewed, routed, and processed, common delay drivers, turnaround time expectations, and compliance considerations. May 15, 2025 ## Processing Standards Apostilles and authentication certificates are used to verify signatures, stamps, or seals on documents for use outside the United States. The destination country determines whether you need an apostille (Hague-participating countries) or an authentication certificate (non-Hague). At Apostilles.us, we make this process straightforward: you submit your request online, we review your documents before submission, route them to the correct authority (state or federal), and ship the completed documents directly back to you with tracking. ### Confirm the destination country and certificate type Select the destination in the order. Hague Convention destinations use apostille processing; other destinations use authentication and legalization. This guide does not publish a country matrix or recipient-specific acceptance rules. ### Review first, then route correctly: State vs. Federal Apostilles.us processes the order through the selected True Copy State, Original Document, or Federal Apostille path. Most federal-issued documents can use True Copy State processing, Federal Original processing is available, and FBI background checks use the Federal Apostille service. ### Determine the correct format: True Copy vs. Original Document Processing True Copy State processing begins with a digital copy and authenticates the notary’s certification. Original Document Processing begins with the physical document and authenticates the qualifying signature or certification presented on that route. Both are established services with separate intake options. ### Document preparation must meet the issuing authority's standard Submit the complete document without cropping, rewriting, detaching, or covering pages, seals, signatures, stamps, or attachments. Use the digital intake for True Copy State processing and the physical intake for Original Document Processing. ### Submissions must be complete Include every page and attachment. Make sure text, seals, stamps, and signatures are legible. For FBI Federal Apostille processing, use the original downloadable FBI PDF or the original physical FBI document. ## Turnaround Times and Shipping (What to Expect) Understanding turnaround times helps you plan around deadlines and avoid last-minute stress. ### State documents (fast options available) True Copy State tiers are displayed publicly. Available Original Document options are displayed during checkout. Processing begins under the tier selected in the order. ### Federal documents (separate timeline) Federal Apostille processing is estimated at 6–14 business days and does not have an expedited federal tier. Shipping time is separate. Most non-FBI federal-issued documents can also use True Copy State processing. ### Shipping and delivery We ship completed documents directly to you with tracking. If your case requires an original/certified copy to be mailed in, we provide the exact shipping instructions after review to avoid mis-deliveries and delays. ## Common Delay Drivers (and How We Reduce Them) Most delays in the apostille process are preventable. Here are the most common causes and how our process addresses them. ### Unclear or incomplete uploads Missing pages, cropped scans, or unreadable seals/signatures often trigger a pause for re-upload. Our review process catches these issues early and requests corrections before processing begins. ### Wrong routing (state vs. federal) Apostilles.us offers True Copy State, Original Document, and Federal Apostille paths. Most federal-issued documents can use True Copy State processing, Federal Original processing is available, and FBI background checks use the dedicated Federal Apostille service. ### Document format mismatch (copy vs. original) Choose True Copy State for digital-copy intake or Original Document Processing for physical-document intake. FBI background checks use the dedicated Federal Apostille path. ## Compliance Considerations Beyond processing mechanics, there are important compliance considerations to keep in mind when using apostilled documents internationally. ### Understand what an apostille certifies An apostille certifies the authenticity of a signature/seal/capacity. It does not validate the content of the underlying document. ### Acceptance abroad can still vary An apostille authenticates a signature, seal, or notarial certification; it does not control the receiving organization’s choice of underlying document. This page therefore avoids recipient guarantees and country-specific exception rules. ### Don't "fix" documents in ways that invalidate them Do not alter, detach, cover, or rewrite existing seals, signatures, certifications, or attachments. Use True Copy State intake for a complete digital copy, Original Document Processing for physical-document intake, and Federal Apostille intake for an FBI background check. ## How to Start Start with any document. Upload a clear color scan for True Copy State processing, select physical-document intake for Original Document Processing, or use the dedicated FBI Federal Apostille intake. Authentication, legalization, translation, retrieval, and tracked return delivery are also available. ## Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Apostille guide # Do I Have to Mail My Original Document for an Apostille? For most documents, no: you upload a clear color scan, a licensed notary certifies it as a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that notarial certification, so the document itself never goes in the mail. August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer For most documents, no. You upload a clear color scan, a licensed notary certifies that a printed copy of it is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that notarial certification. Your birth certificate, diploma or marriage certificate never goes in the mail. About 95 percent of the apostille orders we process run this way. The answer changes in a small number of nameable situations, and they are worth knowing before you pay rather than after. Below: the mechanism, the exceptions we enforce, the one place where the age of your document decides the route for you, and what to do if you already ordered the copy route and your receiving authority has now told you it wants the original. ## Why a scan is enough: what an apostille certifies An apostille is narrower than most people assume. Under the [1961 Hague Apostille Convention](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41), when properly filled in the certificate "will certify the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted and, where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears." That is the whole of its legal effect. It says nothing about the content of the underlying document, and nobody re-verifies the record with the office that issued it. Article 1 of the same Convention lists "notarial acts" among the public documents it covers, and a notary's certification that a copy matches the document in front of them is one of those acts. [Texas](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml), for example, lists notary-certified copies of documents such as diplomas and transcripts among the records it will apostille, with the footnote that "a notary may make a certified copy of the document, which must contain a true and accurate notarial certificate." Put those two facts together and the chain is: you upload a scan, we print it, a commissioned notary signs and seals a certification that the printout is a true and accurate reproduction of the original you hold, and the Secretary of State authenticates that notary's signature and seal. The document carrying the apostille is therefore the notary's certified copy, which has a consequence customers rarely anticipate: the apostille is issued by the Secretary of State where the notary is commissioned, not by the state that issued your record. In practice that regularly means the apostille arrives from a state with no connection to where your record was issued, decided by which notary handled the batch. It is standard practice, it is valid under the Convention, and the apostille number on the certificate can be verified directly with the issuing Secretary of State. It is also the single most common surprise we field, so treat it as a real input to your decision. In isolated cases an individual receiving office has insisted the apostille come from the same state that issued the record: certain consulates, a foreign family court, a national authority reviewing a state criminal history letter. Those are individual offices rather than national rules, and the same countries routinely accept cross-state apostilles. But if your authority has said anything about the state of origin, that sentence decides your route. Both pathways are set out side by side on [true copy vs original](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original). ## What actually arrives in the envelope People picture a stamp landing on their birth certificate, because that is what happens at a Secretary of State counter. The true copy packet is a different object: - the printed copy of your document, - the notary's signed and sealed certification page, - the apostille itself, a separate government certificate attached by the Secretary of State with a seal, rivet or staple. It is paper, shipped with tracking. There is no digital or emailed apostille in this workflow. An optional Completion Scan ($59 per document) emails you a high quality scan of the finished packet, but a printout of that scan is not the apostille and most immigration offices will not take one in place of the original. What it is not: a newly issued certified copy from a vital records office with an apostille attached. Neither route produces that. An apostille attaches to the document being apostilled; it never replaces or updates the underlying record. ## The clock most people miss: how old your document is This is where the two pathways genuinely diverge, and where choosing "the original" can cost you weeks. On the copy route, the age of your document does not matter. A 1979 birth certificate, a 2003 marriage certificate, a divorce decree from 2011: all can be processed from a clear scan, because what the state authenticates is a notarial act performed today. On the original route, age is a hard gate , and it is not our invention. The [Texas Secretary of State](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml) states it directly: "Certified records must have been issued within the past five (5) years to be eligible for apostille." [Montana's Secretary of State](https://sosmt.gov/apostilles-authentications/apostilles/) "recommends that certified copies of official records be issued within the last five years." Our own original-document rule follows the same five-year line, tightened to one year for court documents from Oklahoma and Virginia. Send a thirty-year-old certified copy on the original route and the likely outcome is a rejection. So the sequence for an old record is: obtain a newly issued certified copy first, then apostille it. We can [retrieve one](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval), or you can order it yourself and have it shipped straight to the processing office. Retrieval timelines are set by the issuing agency and are the part of the calendar you cannot compress. How long that takes is set by each issuing agency, ranges from days to several months depending on the state, and is listed per state on the [retrieval page](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval). A third clock belongs to neither pathway: the recency some foreign authorities require of the underlying record itself, often in the 3 to 6 month range for immigration filings. If your consulate wants a recently issued birth certificate, no apostille route fixes that; only a newly issued certificate does. Work out which clock you are being asked about, because "we need a recent document" and "we need the original document" have different solutions. ## The one reason to choose the original route Stated plainly: the only situation that requires mailing your physical document is a receiving authority that specifically demands the apostille be placed on the original. It is uncommon, and when it applies it is usually written down somewhere in the instructions you were given. One destination is a fixed rule: documents going to Israel are processed on the original pathway, for every document type. Israel is the only destination where we do not offer true copy processing at all. Everywhere else, the copy route is the default and the original pathway exists for the receiving authorities that require it. Marriage certificates are the outlier document class here. Civil registries handling a marriage abroad ask for the original more often than any other kind of receiving authority, so if you are registering a marriage, read the registry's instructions closely before you order. Nothing on this list is a statement about a country's law; it is our routing rule based on outcomes we have seen. ## Where you do not get a choice Three situations settle the route for you before any of the above applies: - Documents issued outside the United States. A foreign diploma, a foreign birth certificate, a marriage certificate from another country: copy route only, and what you receive is a US state apostille on a US notary's certification. If your receiving authority wants an apostille from the issuing country's own competent authority, that has to come from that country. - Passports and government IDs. Copy route only. We never ask you to mail a passport. - FBI background checks. A separate federal pathway with its own intake rule: the original downloadable PDF from the FBI, or the original physical report. A scan or photocopy of a printed report is not accepted, federal processing runs 6 to 14 business days, and it cannot be expedited at any price. Details on the [FBI background check apostille](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille) page. One more constraint if you are apostilling a [diploma or transcript](https://apostilles.us/blog/diploma-apostille): on the original route, academic documents need a jurat notarization of the school official's signature, which the registrar performs, or which we can arrange either by coordinating with the school ($195) or through an in-state mobile notary ($197); remote online notarization is not accepted there. On the copy route no notarization is needed from you at all. ## Decision path Work through these in order and stop at the first one that applies. - Has your receiving authority put a requirement in writing? Phrases like "original certificate only", "no copies", or "the apostille must be issued by the state of origin" are decisive. Follow them literally. - Is your destination Israel? Israel means original, for every document type. - Was the document issued outside the US, or is it a passport or an FBI report? Then the route is already determined. - Is your certified copy more than five years old (one year for Oklahoma and Virginia court documents)? The original route needs a newly issued copy first. The copy route does not care. - None of the above? The copy route is the standard path and the one we would recommend. What it involves end to end is on [apostille without sending your original](https://apostilles.us/apostille-without-sending-original). Cost sits underneath all five. The copy route is $149, $197 or $249 per document depending on turnaround, plus a $19 government processing and handling fee per document, with nothing to ship inbound. The original route is $175, $225 or $275 per document, plus courier costs in both directions, the risk of an irreplaceable record in transit, and a separate return shipment for each issuing state involved. Full breakdown on [pricing](https://apostilles.us/pricing). ## Six situations that decide the route The un-mailable diploma. A diploma issued as an engraved metal plate, its owner abroad, who assumed he would have to courier an uninsurable object to the United States and back. Processed as a true copy from a scan; the plate never moved. The multi-document divorce file. A judgment of absolute divorce, a magistrate's report, a settlement agreement and a certificate of finality from a circuit court in a state that, on the original route, requires certification by the Clerk of the Circuit Court before the state will apostille. The copy route needs no clerk certification and accepts the copies already in the file. The four-week immigration appointment. A county birth certificate needed for a residence card interview four weeks out, where a fresh certificate from the state office could not arrive anywhere near that date and no expedite was available. The copy route from an existing scan was the only way the deadline survived. The wedding registered abroad. A couple married in the US and flying home, whose civil registry required the apostille on the original certificate. The copy route was not an option: the certified certificate had to be obtained from the county clerk after the ceremony and shipped in for the issuing state's apostille. The consulate that wanted originals. Three vital records from three issuing states, processed as true copies, each carrying the apostille of the notary's commissioning state, rejected by a consulate on two grounds at once: copies rather than original certificates, and a seal from a state other than the ones that issued the records. The processing was correct and the consulate's rule was stricter. The fix was reprocessing on the original route, each certificate routed to its own issuing state. The same-state rule. A state criminal history letter, apostilled as a true copy in another state, rejected by a national authority that supplied a sample from the issuing state as the model it wanted. No processing error, and the remedy was again the original route. Two of those six ended on the original route. The other four would have been slower, costlier or impossible if mailing the original had been the default. ## The vocabulary, in the words people actually use Half the confusion here is terminology, and the terms are not interchangeable. Phrase you may have been given What it means Can it carry an apostille Photocopy, plain copy, copia simple An uncertified reproduction. Nobody has attested to anything. Not on its own. As the [Texas Secretary of State](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/statdoc/request.shtml) puts it, "We do not apostille copies of certified or notarized records." A plain copy carries no signature or seal for a state to authenticate. A notary's fresh, wet-signed certification of that copy is a different object: an original notarial act, not a copy of one. Notarized copy, copia notarizada, certified true copy, copia fiel certificada A notary has signed and sealed a statement that the copy is a complete and accurate reproduction of the document shown to them. That statement is itself a notarial act. Yes. This is what the copy route produces, and the apostille authenticates the notary's signature and seal. True copy attested, attested copy The same thing in Commonwealth phrasing. An authorized person has formally declared in writing that the copy matches the original. Yes, on the same basis. Certified copy, certified record Issued and sealed by the office that holds the record, for example a state vital records office or a court clerk. Yes. This is what the original route submits, and it is the type subject to the five-year age rule. Exemplified copy, Letter of Exemplification An extra layer used in New York, where a county or state official certifies the registrar's authority. It is required for certain New York original-route filings. The copy route does not include one and does not need one. Root copy, primary copy Not legal terms anywhere. People using them mean the original document. Depends entirely on what the physical object actually is. One phrasing deserves its own answer, because people search it verbatim: "the original of the certified true copy bearing an apostille." That means the physical certified copy that carries the apostille, in other words the paper packet we ship you, as opposed to a scan or photocopy of it. Authorities who use that sentence are telling you they want the ink-and-seal document in their hands, not a PDF of it. They are not necessarily telling you they want your original birth certificate. The narrower version of the question, whether a copy can be apostilled at all, is answered on [can you apostille a copy](https://apostilles.us/can-you-apostille-a-copy). ## If you already ordered the copy route and your authority now wants the original This happens, and the order in which you do things matters. - Get the objection in writing. "Copies not accepted" and "wrong state" are different problems, and reviewers sometimes reject for a third reason entirely, such as a visible scanner watermark on the underlying scan. - If the objection is that the apostille looks invalid, verify it first. Every apostille carries a number the issuing Secretary of State can confirm. Several objections we have handled dissolved at that step, because the document was genuine and the reviewer was unfamiliar with cross-state issuance. - If the authority holds its position, reprocess on the original route, which sends your physical document to the Secretary of State of the state that issued it, so the apostille and the record match. - Check the age of your certified copy before shipping it. Over five years old (one year for Oklahoma and Virginia court documents) and it needs replacing first. - Budget one return shipment per issuing state. Documents from three states are three separate submissions, not one. - Expect a new order rather than a correction. A completed apostille cannot be amended or reissued, and an order fulfilled as placed is not reprocessed free. That is the honest reason to spend five minutes on the decision beforehand. If you are not sure which route your document needs, the [free document review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) is the cheapest way to find out: send the scan and the destination, and we will tell you which pathway applies and whether anything about the document itself will block it. Otherwise, the copy route starts at [submit](https://apostilles.us/submit) and the original route at [original submission](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), where you place the order first and receive the shipping address and work order number afterward. Support is email only; there is no walk-in counter and no drop-off. ## Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

The apostille comes from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, not from the Secretary of State in your state, and federal processing runs 6 to 14 business days that nobody can shorten at any price. Three errors keep repeating with this document: people think a state apostille comes first, they think a printed copy is the same document as the FBI's file, and they think money buys federal speed. The rest of this page is the part that costs people their deadlines. ## Why the file and the printout are different objects The FBI's [own FAQ](https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/identity-history-summary-checks-faqs) describes how it authenticates results: "The FBI will authenticate all fingerprint search results by placing the FBI watermark and the signature of a division official on the results at the time of submission. The FBI will no longer place the FBI seal on U.S. Department of Justice Order 556-73 fingerprint search results." Those authenticated documents, the FAQ continues, "may then be sent to the U.S. Department of State by the requestor to obtain an apostille if necessary." So the authentication is applied at the moment the FBI produces the result, and the PDF you download is the authenticated artifact. Print it and you are holding a picture of an authenticated document. Scan that printout and you are holding a picture of a picture. The Department of State is authenticating a federal official's signature, so what it receives has to be the object that signature was applied to. That is why our federal intake accepts exactly two things: - Digital submission. If you have the original downloadable PDF issued directly from the FBI website, you submit that file digitally. No physical shipping is required, and it is the fastest way to start. - Physical original submission. If you do not have the original downloadable PDF, you ship the original physical document to our office. Photocopies and scans of printed copies are not accepted. If you are wondering whether the file the FBI emailed needs to be printed or prepared somehow first: it is already finished. Upload it as it arrived, without printing, re-saving, flattening, or merging it into anything else. ### If a fingerprinting company sent you the results This is the most common blocked intake on federal orders. What you receive forwarded from the agency that took your fingerprints is usually a set of scanned copies, and scanned copies cannot be used for federal apostille processing. What is needed is the original digital PDF downloaded directly from the FBI website; the FBI itself will point you to the page carrying the colored seal and signature as the one that matters, and re-downloading the original solves it. It does not matter who took your fingerprints. It matters whether the file in your hands is the FBI's own signed result or somebody's copy of it. If you are booking through an [FBI-approved channeler](https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/list-of-fbi-approved-channelers-for-departmental-order-submissions) and an apostille is the point of the exercise, ask before you pay whether you will be given the FBI's own downloadable Identity History Summary PDF. ### Do not notarize it The Department of State's [preparation guidance for federal apostilles](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/apostille-requirements.html) is blunt: seals and signatures must be original, the document must show a date of issuance, and "do not notarize your original document, as your document will no longer be valid if it is notarized." An FBI report on the federal route needs no notary at all, which surprises people whose tax forms in the same order do need one. FBI checks follow a completely different pathway: they are processed as a federal apostille through the U.S. Department of State, which authenticates the FBI document directly rather than through a notary. ## Your state does not matter, and there is no state step first If your document is signed by a U.S. federal official and you will use it in a country party to the 1961 Hague Convention, the Department of State issues the apostille certificate. There is no earlier state stage. As our [FBI apostille page](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille) puts it: "A state office has no jurisdiction over federal records, so it cannot issue a valid apostille for one, regardless of which state you live in." A recurring question is whether the report has to be apostilled in your own state first and in Washington afterwards. No, because that sequence does not exist. The same answer covers the person searching for how to get an apostilled FBI background check in Michigan, and people writing from abroad: the authority is fixed by the document, not by where you or the report happen to be. From abroad we take the PDF and ship the finished apostille internationally, which is covered in [getting an apostille from abroad](https://apostilles.us/apostille-from-abroad). Worth separating: some destinations want a state criminal history record as well as the FBI check, and a few want one instead. If both are required they are apostilled separately, the FBI record federally and the state record through that state's designated apostille office. Ask which one your authority means before ordering either. ## What the Department of State publishes about its own timing The Office of Authentications [publishes these service windows](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/requesting-authentication-services.html): How the request reaches the office Published processing window By mail, with Form DS-4194 Within five weeks from the date the office receives it Dropped off in person in Washington, D.C. Seven business days Emergency appointment Same day as the appointment The emergency appointment is not a rush tier anyone can buy. The office reserves it for someone who must travel abroad within two weeks because an immediate family member outside the United States has died, is dying, or has a life-threatening illness or injury, and it requires documentary proof of both the travel and the emergency. Our estimate sits inside that published band: FBI background checks are processed through the U.S. Department of State for a federal apostille, the estimated processing time is 6 to 14 business days excluding federal holidays, federal processing cannot be expedited under any circumstances, and processing time is separate from shipping time. Customers regularly arrive holding a checkout tier they believe covers it, or offering to pay whatever a rush costs when a visa appointment moves up. The expedited service tiers on our website, the 1 business day option included, apply to state-level apostille processing only. There is no upgrade or rush option for federal processing, so no additional fee changes the turnaround. Two consequences land harder than the timeline itself. There is no interim status while the file sits at the federal office; the next communication after intake is the completion and shipping notification once the documents are ready. And the count is business days. A file that reaches us on a Saturday starts on Monday. ## What "state document" and "federal document" mean at checkout At [submission](https://apostilles.us/submit), the box marking an item as an FBI background check does three things: it routes that document federally, it replaces your tier's completion estimate with the 6 to 14 business day window, and it separates the item from any state documents in the order. Federal apostille processing starts at $149 per document. Because the federal window is fixed, buying a faster tier does not move an FBI document's completion date. It moves the state documents in the same order and nothing else, so an order containing only an FBI report finishes on the same day whichever tier you pick. Shipping is charged per shipment, $49 domestic overnight or $87 international. State and federal items go to different processing offices and come back as two packages, so an order holding a birth certificate and an FBI check carries two domestic shipping charges, $174 in total. If you pick the wrong document type at checkout, it is not yours to fix: we correct the routing, with nothing to redo and nothing further to pay. ## A realistic schedule Stage What to plan for Requesting the Identity History Summary from the FBI The FBI charges $18 and processes requests in the order received. It does not expedite, and [it states](https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/identity-history-summary-checks-faqs) that electronic submissions are processed faster and receive an electronic response. Placing the order and uploading the PDF Same business day. A weekend arrival counts as Monday. Federal apostille at the Department of State 6 to 14 business days, excluding federal holidays. No expedited option exists. Optional completion scan $59 per document, roughly one business day after the apostille is issued. The fastest way to see the finished document when an appointment is waiting. Return shipping $49 domestic overnight or $87 international, tracked, and separate from processing time. Six to fourteen business days is roughly one and a half to three calendar weeks before shipping is added. A certified translation adds about another business day and should ride on the same order rather than being arranged separately; the per-page rate depends on total length, so see [certified translation](https://apostilles.us/certified-translation). Two shipping details catch people out: several countries require the recipient's tax identification number for customs clearance, and we can send the finished apostille to a foreign authority instead of to you, so the checks reach the office handling your file directly. ## The freshness window is the real deadline The apostille certificate does not expire. The report underneath it effectively does, because most receiving authorities measure the age of the FBI report rather than the age of the apostille. Most countries require the check to be recent at the time you submit it to them, not just at the time it was apostilled, and the window is measured from the date the FBI issued the report, varying by country and by receiving authority. There is no universal number of months, so we do not publish one. Of the destination notes we have verified, South Korea's teaching programs typically expect a recently issued check, often no older than about six months, and Spain expects some immigration documents to be only a few months old. Confirm the exact window with your receiving authority. Both are typical requirements set by the receiving authority, not guarantees. That makes the sequence matter. Confirm the freshness requirement first, request the FBI report so the clock starts as late as possible, then submit it the day it arrives. If your authority wants a report under three months old and the federal step alone can take three calendar weeks, a report you ordered two months ago "to have ready" may already be unusable by the time it comes back. ## The true copy alternative, and its real limit A True Copy State Apostille can be finished in as little as one business day, because it is a state-level product: a notary certifies a printed copy and the Secretary of State apostilles the notary's certification. For most documents this is our default service and it works well. For FBI background checks it is a fallback, and we disclose why every time: true copy apostilles for FBI reports have a low acceptance rate with most receiving authorities. Confirm with your specific receiving authority, in writing, that a state-level true copy apostille will be accepted before pursuing this route; acceptance is always the receiving authority's decision and cannot be guaranteed by any processor. That is a real distinction rather than a disclaimer. The apostille would be genuine and verifiable by its number with the issuing Secretary of State. The open question is whether the authority reading it wanted a federal certificate on the federal record. Two situations make it worth considering. You cannot obtain either accepted format at all, say the only paper results were lost with a deadline pending, in which case the first move is requesting fresh results from the FBI and specifically asking for the digital version. Or you have already called your receiving authority and been told a state-level true copy is acceptable, in which case Priority Express at $249 per document plus overnight shipping straight to the authority can meet a deadline days away. Otherwise, if you hold the FBI PDF and the deadline allows, the federal route is the one your authority asked for. ## Can you do this yourself? Two parts of it were never ours to do. We do not run background checks and we do not coordinate fingerprinting; you obtain your FBI Identity History Summary on your own before processing can begin. Nor can we request the record for you, because the FBI releases it to the individual. The apostille step you can file yourself, per the [Department of State's instructions](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/requesting-authentication-services.html). Send Form DS-4194, the document, $20 per document by check or money order payable to the U.S. Department of State, and a self-addressed prepaid return envelope, to the Office of Authentications, 44132 Mercure Circle, PO Box 1206, Sterling, VA 20166-1206. By mail that is the five week window; dropped off in person in Washington it is seven business days. What a service sells on this document is preparation and the return leg: correct paperwork the first time, an intake that is not rejected for the wrong copy type, tracked shipping to you or to a foreign authority, and translation attached to the same job. It is not speed at the federal office. ## What to do next If you have the FBI PDF, upload it and choose the federal option at [submission](https://apostilles.us/submit). The estimate you will see is 6 to 14 business days plus shipping. If you are not sure whether what you hold is the FBI's file or a copy of it, send it through the [free document review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) before paying for anything, because that is the one check that prevents a rejected intake. If state documents are in the same batch, read [state versus federal apostilles](https://apostilles.us/state-vs-federal-apostille) so the two shipments and two timelines do not surprise you, and if you are shipping the physical FBI original rather than the file, [how to prepare documents for a federal apostille](https://apostilles.us/how-to-prepare-documents-for-federal-apostille) covers what belongs in the envelope. If your appointment is inside the next two weeks, do the arithmetic before you order: 6 to 14 business days is the federal step alone, and getting the report faster does not help if the apostille cannot catch up. ## Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Yes to both, if what you have is the original downloadable PDF. Nothing ships inbound in that case. If the FBI mailed you a physical document instead, that original can be shipped. A scan of a printout is not an option on either route. Does an FBI background check require an apostille? How do I get an apostilled FBI background check in Michigan? Can I save money by getting the FBI background check myself and then getting the apostille? ## Related Resources [FBI Background Check Apostille](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille)[State vs. Federal Apostilles](https://apostilles.us/state-vs-federal-apostille)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review)[Getting an Apostille From Abroad](https://apostilles.us/apostille-from-abroad)[How to Prepare Documents for a Federal Apostille](https://apostilles.us/how-to-prepare-documents-for-federal-apostille) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want. [Get Started](https://apostilles.us/submit) ## General information This guide provides general information and is not legal advice. The receiving organization sets its own document requirements. Canonical page: https://apostilles.us/blog/can-a-digital-fbi-background-check-be-apostilled --- [Home](https://apostilles.us/) / [Guides & Articles](https://apostilles.us/blog) / Do Federal Documents Need a Federal Apostille? Not Always Apostille guide # Do Federal Documents Need a Federal Apostille? Not Always A document being issued by a federal agency does not put it on the federal apostille path. The apostille attaches to a signature, not to the letterhead above it. August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer Not always. Nearly every federally issued record can be apostilled as a notarized true copy with a state apostille, which is usually the faster route. Many, though not all, can also go through the US Department of State on the federal route, and that door is only open when the copy in your hand carries a federal official's signature. Being issued by a federal agency does not by itself put a document on the federal path. The apostille attaches to a signature, not to the letterhead above it. The US Department of State states the rule from its own side. Its preparation page says an apostille certificate applies when your document is signed by a US federal official, a US consular officer, or a foreign consul registered with the Department's Office of Protocol, and that the document must carry original seals and signatures, the date it was issued, and agency letterhead. The same page tells you not to notarize the document, because a notarized document is no longer valid for that process ([travel.state.gov, Preparing a Document for an Apostille Certificate](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/apostille-requirements.html)). So the question that decides your route is not "which agency issued this" but "does the copy in my hand carry the signature of a federal official?" A large share of federal records do not. An SSA benefit letter printed from a my Social Security account, a DD-214 released by the National Archives, and the IRS CP 575 EIN confirmation letter routinely arrive with no signing official on them, and the Office of Authentications has nothing to authenticate on a page like that. That is why every federal document in our queue defaults to the True Copy State Apostille except one: the FBI Identity History Summary. Federal processing stays available on request. It takes the physical original, runs an estimated 6 to 14 business days, and cannot be expedited. State true copy processing runs 1 to 6 business days depending on the tier, and that is processing time only, with shipping separate. ## For a Federal Document There Is No State Original Route With a state document you have two ways to go: a notarized true copy apostilled at state level, or the original sent to the Secretary of State that issued it. For a federal document the second one does not exist. A state Secretary of State has no jurisdiction over a federal record and cannot apostille it under original document processing. That leaves two real routes: - US Department of State, Office of Authentications. The physical original, signed by a federal official, unnotarized. The government fee is $20 per document and is nonrefundable under federal law ([Requesting Authentication Services](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/requesting-authentication-services.html)). - State apostille on a notarized true copy. A notary certifies the printed copy as a true and accurate reproduction, and the Secretary of State apostilles the notary's certification. The apostille comes from the state where the notary is commissioned, which is why it often names a state that has nothing to do with the issuing agency. Both produce a genuine apostille valid under the Hague Convention. They authenticate different signatures, which is the distinction covered on [state vs federal apostille](https://apostilles.us/state-vs-federal-apostille). ## The Routing Table Default route means what we recommend when nothing else in the order changes it. The federal route stays open in every case where you ask for it and the document qualifies. Federal document Default route US Department of State apostille SSA benefit verification letter (proof of income letter) True copy, state Only if the copy carries an issuing official's signature. The version you download yourself usually does not. SSA statements, SSDI verification letters True copy, state Same test, and self-downloaded statements frequently fail it. Certificate of Coverage (totalization agreement) True copy, state Available on request with the physical original. IRS tax returns, Schedule SE, account and return transcripts True copy, state Transcripts have been refused federally for carrying no issuing official's signature. W-2 True copy, state A W-2 is issued by your employer, not by the IRS, so there is no federal official's signature on it. IRS Form 6166, certification of US tax residency True copy, state, unless you request federal Yes. The Department of State lists certification of US tax residency among the documents its office handles. Form 6166 is obtained by filing Form 8802. IRS EIN confirmation letter (CP 575) True copy, state, and nothing else No. The letter has no issuing official's signature block, and a state cannot apostille a federal record as an original. DD-214 and military separation records True copy, state Only if the copy you were issued carries the signing official's block. Copies released by the National Archives frequently do not. Certificate of Naturalization, Certificate of Citizenship True copy, state Available on request with the physical original. Consular Report of Birth Abroad (FS-240) True copy, state Not through us. The Department of State runs CRBA apostilles through a separate channel that the record holder has to use personally. See below. US passport and government ID True copy only We do not route passports federally and we do not ask anyone to mail an original passport. USDA APHIS animal health certificates True copy, state, in almost every case Yes in principle, but the timing rarely works. See below. FDA export certificates and Certificates to Foreign Government True copy, state Yes. FDA publishes its own instructions for requesting one. See below. OPM and federal pension or annuity letters True copy, state The Department of State lists OPM and SSA among the agencies whose documents its office handles. FBI Identity History Summary Federal, always Yes. This is the one document we route federally as a matter of course. The Department of State's own examples of federal documents handled by that office include animal and plant health certifications from USDA, federal court documents and FBI background checks from the Department of Justice, certificates of naturalization from DHS, certificates to foreign governments and pharmaceutical product certificates from HHS, patent and trademark applications from USPTO, certification of US tax residency from the IRS, and documents from EPA, the Social Security Administration and the Office of Personnel Management ([Preparing a Document for an Authentication Certificate](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/authentication-certificate-requirements.html)). Being on that list means the office can handle the document type. It does not mean the specific copy you hold qualifies. That still comes down to the signature. One clarification that saves people an order: if a foreign authority is asking for proof that you are a US tax resident rather than for the return you filed, the document usually meant is Form 6166, which the IRS issues on Treasury stationery after you file Form 8802, not a copy of your 1040 ([IRS, Form 6166](https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/form-6166-certification-of-us-tax-residency)). Ask which one they want before you order either. ## Five That Need More Than a Table Row ### The FBI Identity History Summary, and Why It Is the Exception The FBI states that it authenticates fingerprint search results by placing the FBI watermark and the signature of a division official on the results, and that documents authenticated by the FBI may then be sent to the US Department of State by the requestor to obtain an apostille ([FBI, Identity History Summary Checks FAQs](https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/identity-history-summary-checks-faqs)). That signature is why this document, and effectively only this document, moves cleanly through the federal channel. It also answers a question customers ask constantly: why the FBI check needed no notary when their other documents did. Nothing is notarized on the federal path, because the Department of State authenticates the FBI official's signature directly. Intake is narrow: the original downloadable FBI PDF, or the original physical document. A scan or photocopy of a printed report is not used, and files forwarded by a fingerprinting channeler are scans. Detail on [FBI background check apostille](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille). ### The Consular Report of Birth Abroad Has Its Own Channel A CRBA is a Department of State document, so people assume it goes to the Department of State's authentication office like an FBI report. It does not. Apostilles on consular records are handled by Passport Vital Records, and the request is made with a notarized Form DS-5542 plus a photocopy of the record holder's photo ID and payment. The Department quotes 4 to 8 weeks for requests to that office, and states that if the CRBA was issued within the last five years there is no apostille fee ([Replace or Amend a Consular Report of Birth Abroad](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/records-and-authentications/requesting-a-vital-record-as-a-u-s--citizen/replace-amend-CRBA.html)). Because that form is notarized in the record holder's own name, it is not something a service can file for you. We handle CRBAs on the true copy state route and tell customers plainly that the federal apostille on a CRBA is theirs to request. ### Naturalization and Citizenship Certificates USCIS will make and certify a true copy of a Certificate of Naturalization itself when a foreign government or embassy asks for one. It is done in person at a field office with both your original and your photocopy, and USCIS states it does not certify copies through the mail or electronically. On the same page USCIS notes that although the law prohibits duplication of naturalization certificates, certificates of citizenship and permanent resident cards for some purposes, that prohibition does not apply to making a photocopy for submission to USCIS with an application or petition ([How Do I Obtain Certified True Copies of a Certificate of Naturalization?](https://www.uscis.gov/tools/how-do-i-guides/how-do-i-guides-for-us-citizens/how-do-i-obtain-certified-true-copies-of-a-certificate-of-naturalization)). Our routing for naturalization certificates and Certificates of Citizenship is the True Copy State Apostille from a clear color scan, with federal processing available on request against the physical original. ### USDA Pet and Animal Export Certificates, Where Timing Decides Everything APHIS endorses international health certificates for animals leaving the United States, increasingly through the Veterinary Export Health Certification System. Some destinations accept that digital endorsement, others still want an apostille or a consular step on top, so check the destination's own page on the APHIS site ([APHIS, Take a Pet From the United States to Another Country](https://www.aphis.usda.gov/pet-travel/us-to-another-country-export)). The operational point is arithmetic. Health certificates for animal export are time-limited by the destination, measured from the date of veterinary certification, and those windows are short. A federal apostille estimated at 6 to 14 business days with no expedited option does not fit inside one. When a destination gives a 10 day window between veterinary certification and arrival, the honest answer is that the federal path cannot be made to work in the time available. ### FDA Export Certificates FDA publishes its own route. For cosmetic export certificates it tells exporters that the request goes to the Office of Authentications with the original certificate downloaded and printed from FDA's Certificate Application Process, a Form DS-4194 and payment, and that apostilles and authentications must be printed in color to be valid ([FDA, Cosmetics Export Certificate FAQs](https://www.fda.gov/cosmetics/cosmetics-exporters/cosmetics-export-certificate-faqs)). For medical devices FDA points foreign authorities to an online certificate validator instead. We route FDA certificates as true copy state by default. What we cannot do is tell an exporter which FDA documents a foreign customs authority wants apostilled. Only the authority asking for them can confirm that. ## What Actually Goes Wrong, in Five Recurring Patterns The visa file with a Schedule SE and an FBI check. The attorney abroad asks for an apostilled Schedule SE and cannot say whether it needs notarizing first, or why the FBI background check in the same application did not need one. The Schedule SE goes the true copy state route, with the notarial certification prepared as part of processing rather than something the applicant arranges. Two federal documents, two different routes, and one rule was assumed to cover both. The DD-214 in a citizenship file. A military discharge record from the National Archives reads as federal and therefore federal-path, until review finds no issuing official's signature block on the copy, which closes the federal route for that document in that form. It runs as a true copy, at the one business day tier when the deadline demands it. Veterans and next of kin can request DD Form 214 copies free from the National Archives through eVetRecs or a signed SF-180 ([National Archives, Request Military Service Records](https://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records)). Two SSA statements, one order, one failure. Two Social Security statements arrive in the same order and one has no issuing official's signature block, so federal processing is unavailable for that one and still possible for the other. Both can run true copy, and the federal option should be noted for the qualifying statement rather than quietly dropped. The SSA letter refused at the counter. Walk-in submissions in Washington DC see it directly: the FBI letter is apostilled, the Social Security letter is refused because no SSA officer signed the form. There is nothing to fix on the document itself. It goes through as a true copy. The EIN letter that has nowhere else to go. An IRS CP 575 EIN confirmation letter in a corporate document set cannot take a federal apostille, because it has no issuing official's signature block, and cannot take a state original apostille, because a state cannot apostille a federal record. True copy is not the cheaper option. It is the only option. ## The Part We Cannot Answer for You An apostille is valid under the Hague Convention when a Secretary of State or the US Department of State issues it. It does not settle whether the authority on the other end accepts the underlying document, in the form you sent it, on the date you send it. Two consequences. If your receiving authority has told you in writing that it wants an apostille from the US Department of State specifically, say so up front, because that changes the route, the intake (physical original) and the timeline (6 to 14 business days, no expedited tier at any price). And freshness windows belong to the receiving authority, not to the apostille: the certificate has no built-in expiration date, and the underlying document keeps whatever issue date is printed on it, which is covered on [do apostilles expire](https://apostilles.us/do-apostilles-expire). At [Apostilles.us](https://apostilles.us/free-review) that turns into a free document review before anything is paid for. You upload the file, we identify whether it carries an issuing official's signature, and you learn which of the two routes is open before money moves.

If it is a public record that already bears an official seal and signature, it does not. August 31, 2026 ## The one-sentence test If your document carries a signature block that was signed by a private person, it has to be notarized before a Secretary of State will apostille it. If it is a public record that already bears an official seal and signature, it does not. That is the whole rule, and it applies to categories people rarely think of as "private documents." Medical records are a good example: if the records contain a signature block, a line or area designated for a signature, they need to be notarized before the apostille can be issued. If they do not contain a signature block, they can be processed directly on the true copy pathway without any additional preparation, because our notary's certification of the copy supplies the signature the state authenticates. What complicates the clean rule is everything downstream of it. Who is allowed to perform the notarization depends on which apostille pathway you use, and a remote online notarization that works perfectly on one pathway is refused outright on the other. Academic documents break the pattern in both directions: a diploma is covered in signatures, yet on the true copy pathway you arrange nothing, and on the original pathway an ordinary notarization is not enough because a jurat is required. ## Why the signature block is the thing that matters An apostille does not certify your document. Under Article 5 of the [Hague Apostille Convention](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41) it certifies "the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted and, where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears." It authenticates a signature, so a signature the issuing authority can actually verify has to be there first, and a Secretary of State can only verify signatures it holds on file. [Idaho states the boundary plainly](https://sos.idaho.gov/notaries-apostilles-authentications/apostilles-faq/): "The Idaho Secretary of State can authenticate only documents issued by Idaho officials or notarized by Idaho Notaries." Your birth certificate is signed by a state registrar whose signature is on file. Your employment contract is signed by you, and no state holds your signature on file. The notary is the bridge. Article 1 of the Convention lists as a public document "official certificates which are placed on documents signed by persons in their private capacity." The notary's certificate is that official certificate, and the apostille goes on top of the notarial act rather than on your underlying document. It is also why an apostille never validates the content of what you signed. If the two acts are still blurring together, our [apostille vs notarization guide](https://apostilles.us/blog/apostille-vs-notarization) separates them. ## Every situation, laid out Your document Notarization needed before apostille? Who performs it Cost to you Public record with an official seal and signature (birth, marriage, death certificate, clerk-certified court order, most federal documents) No customer-side notarization On the true copy pathway our notary certifies the copy internally as part of processing Included in the processing fee Private document with no signature block (a printed statement, a record with no signer line) No Nobody. It processes directly as a true copy Included Private document with a signature block, not yet notarized, true copy pathway Yes International Remote Online Notary (IRON), a live video session $197 per document, adds about 1 business day Private document with a signature block, not yet notarized, original document pathway Yes A physical notary commissioned in the state that will issue the apostille. Remote online notarization is not accepted here Mobile Notary $197 where available, or your own local notary Diploma, transcript, or degree certificate, true copy pathway No customer-side notarization, even though it has signatures Our team prepares the notarial statement Included Diploma, transcript, or degree certificate, original document pathway Yes, and it must be a jurat The school's authorized representative, or an in-state notary with the document custodian present School coordination $195, or in-state Mobile Notary $197 Document that is already notarized No new notarization for the true copy pathway. For the original pathway the existing notary must be commissioned in the state that will issue the apostille Already done, or redone locally Nothing, or a re-notarization Two things in that table catch people out. [IRON](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary) is priced per document, not per signature . A document carrying eight or ten signature locations is still one document and one $197 session; the fee multiplies only when separate documents each need their own notarization. And if your order includes IRON, do not sign the document first. You sign during the session, in front of the notary, or the act is not valid. ## Why remote online notarization is disqualifying on the original pathway This is the single most confusing rule in the whole subject, so here is the mechanism rather than just the rule. The two pathways route to different offices. On [true copy processing](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original), the apostille is issued by the Secretary of State where our notary is commissioned, so the notarization and the apostille sit in the same state by construction. On [original document processing](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), the physical document routes to the Secretary of State of the state that issued it, and that office authenticates only notaries it commissioned. A remote session with a notary commissioned elsewhere produces a notarization the destination state cannot touch. Notary commissions are state-bound, and some states do not permit remote notarization at all: - California does not currently authorize remote online notarization. The Secretary of State's [notary FAQ](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/faqs) is explicit: "A video image or other form of non-physical representation is not a personal appearance in front a notary public under current California State law." California notaries may notarize electronically, but the signer still has to appear in person. - New York permits electronic notarization, but per the [Department of State](https://dos.ny.gov/notary-public-frequently-asked-questions) "the notary public must be physically located within the State of New York at the time of the notarization." New York adds a second step for notarized documents regardless: "Notarized documents must be certified by the County Clerk of the County where the notary is certified to notarize" before the Department of State will apostille them. - Maryland authorizes remote notarial acts, but its [apostille route](https://sos.maryland.gov/Certifications/Pages/default.aspx) for a notarized document runs through the courthouse first: "Notarized document must be taken to the Clerk of the Circuit Court for certification, in the county where the notary was commissioned," and only then to the Secretary of State in Annapolis. - Michigan permits remote and electronic notarization by Michigan notaries using a vendor on the Secretary of State's approved list, but the [Office of the Great Seal](https://www.michigan.gov/sos/faqs/office-of-the-great-seal/document-authentication) requires wet signatures on what it authenticates: "Original signatures are required on all notarized documents. Stamped signatures, photocopied signatures, carbon copied or signature facsimiles are not accepted." - Idaho [refuses out-of-state notarizations outright](https://sos.idaho.gov/notaries-apostilles-authentications/apostilles-faq/) and tells you where to go instead: "You will need to contact the Secretary of State in the state where the notarization took place." Check the state's own rule before booking anything. And if the receiving authority abroad has said it will not accept a remotely notarized document, that settles it regardless of what the state allows. When a foreign court takes that position on a matter with signers spread across several states, a single multi-signer document becomes one document per signer: separate in-person notarizations, separate state processes, separate shipments. ## One document per state of signature If two people sign the same instrument in two different states, one notarization cannot cover both and one apostille cannot cover both. The situation comes up constantly with powers of attorney for estate settlements abroad: three family members in three different states, one instrument to sign. It is natural to ask whether one document can carry all three signatures and one state can apostille the lot. It cannot, because each Secretary of State authenticates only its own commissioned notaries. The answer is three separate powers of attorney, each signed and notarized in the signatory's own state and apostilled through that state. The true copy pathway sidesteps this when the receiving authority has not demanded originals, because the notarial certification and the apostille both happen in one state. Worth understanding before you start booking notary appointments in three time zones. ## Jurat and acknowledgment are not the same act Most notarizations people arrange are acknowledgments. The signer appears, is identified, and declares that they signed the document. The certificate wording contains the word "acknowledged," and no oath is administered. A jurat is a different act. [Idaho's official notary training](https://sos.idaho.gov/notary-training/chapter-5/) describes it as the notary confirming the identity of the signer, administering the oath, and then witnessing them sign the document. The signer swears the content is true, under penalty of perjury, and must sign in front of the notary. The wording is the familiar "subscribed and sworn to before me." The distinction decides whether an academic document can go through the original pathway: academic documents require a jurat specifically, the sworn-to-and-subscribed-before-me act, and a diploma carrying an acknowledgment has to be re-notarized before original processing can proceed. People arrive with a diploma their registrar had notarized, assume the box is ticked, and discover the notary took an acknowledgment. That is not a defect. It is a correct act of the wrong type, and it has to be redone. Three ways to get a jurat on an academic record: the school issues jurat-notarized copies directly, we coordinate with the registrar for $195 per document, or an in-state [mobile notary](https://apostilles.us/mobile-notary) performs it at $197 with the document custodian present. The school route fails more often than people expect. Some registrars will only act on a request the student submits in person, which closes that door for anyone living abroad, and some schools have moved to digital-only records with no physical document to notarize. If your diploma is going through true copy processing, none of this applies. Send a clear scan, arrange nothing, pay no notary fee. More on that route in our [diploma apostille guide](https://apostilles.us/blog/diploma-apostille). ## There is no "apostille clause" A recurring question arrives from people who have been told that a power of attorney must be "prepared with an apostille clause," sometimes by a notary. No such clause exists. Under [Article 4 of the Convention](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41) the apostille "shall be placed on the document itself or on an 'allonge'" and "shall be in the form of the model annexed to the present Convention." It is a standardized certificate with ten numbered fields, produced by the competent authority and attached to your document. Nothing written inside your document creates it, improves it, or is required for it. What your document actually needs is a complete notarial certificate. [Colorado's Secretary of State](https://coloradosos.gov/pubs/notary/FAQ/commonMistakes.html) lists the required elements, and they are typical: "The county and state in which the notarization took place," "The date of the notarization," "The type of notarial act performed by the notary," the notary's official signature, the notary's stamp, and the title of office. The stamp has to carry the notary's legal name, the words "NOTARY PUBLIC," the state, the ID number and the commission expiration date. There is a real requirement hiding under the misconception. Some destination countries, particularly in Latin America and Southern Europe, require a power of attorney to follow their own legal template or contain particular clauses under their law. That is the destination's legal system talking, enforced by the bank, notary or registry that receives it, and it is a drafting question for a lawyer in that country. It has nothing to do with the apostille and no US notary can add it. See our [power of attorney guide](https://apostilles.us/blog/power-of-attorney) for how the two layers interact. ## For notaries preparing documents that will be apostilled A meaningful share of the people searching these questions are notaries, not consumers. Can you sign and seal before the document goes for apostille? Yes, that is the required sequence. The Secretary of State authenticates your signature and seal, so the notarial act has to be complete first. What you cannot do is complete a certificate for an act you did not perform, or notarize a document with blank spaces or an unsigned signature line. Do you need a special credential? No. There is no apostille endorsement on a notary commission. Idaho's rule is simply that the document must be "a certified copy or an original notarized document, notarized by an Idaho Notary Public." An active commission in the state that will issue the apostille is the whole qualification. And no notary can issue an apostille: that comes only from the competent authority a country designates, which here means a state Secretary of State or the US Department of State. What gets a notarized document rejected? In roughly descending order of how often we see it: - The notary was commissioned in a different state than the one being asked for the apostille. - The commission had expired on the date of the act, or the notary's signature is not on file with that office, which at minimum adds processing time. - The venue is missing. The certificate has to name the county and state where the act took place. - The type of notarial act is not stated, or the wrong act was performed for what the receiving authority needs. - The seal is illegible, cut off by the page edge, or placed where a scan renders it unreadable. - The signature is stamped, photocopied or facsimile rather than original. Michigan rejects these outright. - An intermediate certification was skipped. New York requires county clerk certification and Maryland requires Clerk of the Circuit Court certification first. - The stamp is on a loose attachment rather than on the document. [Texas puts it plainly](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authfaqs.shtml): "the Apostille that is issued states on it that the document bears the stamp of office so therefore the stamp needs to be on the document itself." A document can also be perfectly notarized and still be the wrong answer. When a receiving authority instructs that the apostille must authenticate the issuing official's own signature and that notarization is expressly not permitted, the notarized-copy route is off the table by the requester's own instruction, and the document has to qualify for direct authentication in its issuing state instead. Notaries who want to offer apostille processing to their own clients without building the state relationships can look at our [white label program](https://apostilles.us/whitelabel), and the state-side view is in [state notary requirements for apostille](https://apostilles.us/blog/notary-requirements). ## How the test plays out in practice - An old trademark assignment going abroad. Signatories unreachable, assignor entity long dissolved: neither matters for apostille purposes. The signature block does, which means notarization, which on the true copy route means IRON. - An IRS Schedule SE for a residence visa. A tax form is a private document once you have signed it, so it goes the true copy state route with the notarial certification handled internally at no extra charge, while the FBI background check in the same application needs no notary at all because the Department of State authenticates the FBI document directly. - A document with an incomplete notary block , missing the full notarial statement, the original signature or the stamp and seal. That blocks the original pathway but not true copy, which certifies a fresh copy rather than relying on the defective existing notarization. - A stack of bank and health documents. The honest answer is that nobody can classify them sight unseen. If they have a signature block, they need notarizing before apostille processing; if they do not, they process directly; and which is which is confirmed by looking at the file. That last one is the honest position on most of these. The signature block test tells you which category you are in, but whether a specific PDF has a signature block, a complete notarial certificate, or a jurat rather than an acknowledgment is something you find out by looking at the file.

For formal legal advice, consult a qualified professional. ## Frequently Asked Questions Can you apostille a document without a signature? Yes. A public record whose authority is carried by an official seal processes directly, and a private document with no signature block can go through the true copy pathway, where our notary's certification of the copy supplies the signature the Secretary of State authenticates. The one thing that cannot be apostilled as-is is a document with an unsigned signature line: that has to be signed and notarized first. Does a certified decree need to be notarized to be apostilled? Can another state complete an apostille for an online notarization completed in a different state? Do all signatories need to be present before the US notary public? When I receive a high school diploma or transcript, do I have to notarize it in order to apostille it? ## Related Resources [Apostille vs. Notarization](https://apostilles.us/blog/apostille-vs-notarization)[True Copy vs. Original Document Processing](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original)[Remote Online Notary (IRON)](https://apostilles.us/remote-notary)[Mobile Notary Service](https://apostilles.us/mobile-notary)[Free Document Review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) ## Start Your Document Order Choose the document category, destination, and processing path you want.

Honest Timelines Apostille guide # How Fast Can You Really Get an Apostille? Honest Timelines For a state-issued document, the fastest realistic answer is about two business days from order to hand: one business day of apostille processing plus one night in a courier's truck. That floor holds only when the document is state-level and eligible for true copy processing, the order arrives early on a business day, nothing needs notarizing or translating first, and shipping is domestic. August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer For a state-issued document, the fastest realistic answer is about two business days from order to hand: one business day of apostille processing plus one night in a courier's truck. That floor holds only when four things are true at once. The document is state-level and eligible for true copy processing, the order and scan arrive early on a business day, nothing needs notarizing or translating first, and you are shipping to a U.S. address. Change one of those and the arithmetic changes. Nearly every timeline question we answer carries the same mistake: the tier turnaround gets read as a delivery date. It is one clock out of four. ## The four clocks Your delivery date is the sum of these, in this order. - Intake. Processing starts when the order and the document are received on a business day. A weekend submission counts as the following Monday. The intake business day itself counts as day one of the tier window. - Preparation add-ons. Remote online notarization adds approximately one business day before apostille processing begins. Certified translation adds approximately one business day before apostille processing begins. They run sequentially, not in parallel. - Apostille processing. This is the number on the pricing page, and it is the only number most people budget for. - Transit. Tracked overnight domestic shipping is $49 per shipment. Tracked international shipping is $87 per shipment and typically takes 5 to 10 business days depending on destination and customs. Shipping is a separate line item, and dispatch and tracking numbers are generated on business days. The processing tiers, per document: Tier Processing window True copy Original document Priority Express 1 business day $249 $275 Standard Priority 2 to 3 business days $197 $225 Economy Standard 4 to 6 business days $149 $175 True copy orders also carry a $19 per document Government Processing and Handling fee. Original document orders show the issuing state's own fee at checkout instead, and their turnarounds vary by state rather than following the tier ladder. Every window here is an estimate that moves with the issuing authority's current capacity. ## A worked example with real dates Take a concrete week. Two documents are submitted on Friday the 19th and the receiving authority needs them in hand by end of day Friday the 26th. The counting rule that decides this is not obvious, because the intake day itself is day one. - Economy Standard, 4 to 6 business days. Friday the 19th is day one, so processing completes Wednesday the 24th at the earliest and Friday the 26th at the latest. Add shipping and the bad case lands Saturday or the following Monday. Wrong purchase for that deadline. - Standard Priority, 2 to 3 business days. Completion Monday the 22nd or Tuesday the 23rd, with overnight dispatch on a business day putting the documents in hand roughly Tuesday through Thursday. - Priority Express, 1 business day. Completion Friday the 19th, delivery Monday the 22nd. The upgrade money buys margin, not speed. That is the shape of most good urgent decisions here. You are not buying a faster government office, you are buying room for one bad day. ## What the add-ons do to the calendar A power of attorney, an affidavit, a consent letter, a bank compliance letter: anything with a signature block has to be notarized before it can be apostilled, and notarization is its own business day. A request to have a notarizable document finished the same morning cannot clear, for a structural reason rather than a queue problem: remote online notarization adds about one business day, and Priority Express processing adds about one more after it, so the floor is roughly two business days before anything ships. Remote notary appointments between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM Eastern can be confirmed the same day, and requests outside that window are confirmed the next business morning, which quietly costs a day if you order at 6 PM. Translation behaves the same way: it runs before the apostille and adds roughly a business day, with turnaround depending on length. Pricing and scope are on the [certified translation](https://apostilles.us/certified-translation) page. When stacking, count in this order: notarization day, translation day, processing tier, transit. Then check which weekday each step lands on. ## The deadlines that cannot be rushed at any price Some parts of this process are not ours to speed up, and no fee tier touches them. ### Federal documents FBI Identity History Summaries are federal records. Their apostille comes from the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C., not from any state Secretary of State. Estimated federal processing is 6 to 14 business days, excluding federal holidays, and it cannot be expedited. There is no federal express tier to buy. The one-business-day option on our pricing page applies to state-level processing only. Two situations recur constantly. Someone sees the 6 to 14 day estimate on a federal order, assumes they picked the slow tier by mistake, and asks to pay for an upgrade. There is no upgrade to sell at any price; what can help is a Completion Scan, which puts a digital copy in hand about one business day after issuance. And someone with a flight days away and no FBI results yet: even if the report arrives quickly and reaches us immediately, the 6 to 14 business day window alone can decide the outcome, and saying so beats selling a tier that cannot perform. The step before ours matters too: [the FBI states](https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/identity-history-summary-checks-faqs) that it does not expedite Identity History Summary requests and that electronically submitted requests are processed faster, in the order received. The fast lane for federal work is entirely upstream of the apostille. Full detail is on the [FBI background check apostille](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille) page. ### Originals routed to the issuing state When a receiving authority specifically demands the apostille on your physical original, the document has to travel to that state's Secretary of State and you inherit that office's queue. Those windows are published per state on the [original document submission](https://apostilles.us/original-submission) form because they differ so widely. Most states run the standard 4 to 6 business days at the economy level, but Colorado, New Mexico, North Carolina and Washington run 7 to 10 business days, Arizona 10 to 20, New Jersey 12 to 20, Michigan 4 to 6 weeks and Nevada 6 to 8 weeks. Connecticut, New Jersey, Wisconsin and Michigan offer a faster express option. Add inbound courier time on top, because the original has to reach us first, and follow the sequencing rule: place and pay for the order, wait for the work order number and shipping instructions, then ship. Documents mailed before a work order exists slow themselves down. ### Getting the record in the first place This is where deadlines die quietly. Retrieval is not a fast errand, and the ranges we quote are set by the issuing agency, not by us. Turnarounds are set by each issuing agency, run from a few days in the fastest states to several months in the slowest, and are listed per state on the [retrieval page](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval). Rush retrieval exists in select states. The pattern to avoid: an appointment a few weeks out, and a plan that begins with pulling a fresh certified copy from an office whose queue is measured in months with no expedite available. The useful answer in that situation is to hear it immediately, so the hunt can start for the copy that already exists in a drawer or an inbox. Standard vital records retrieval is $169 per certified copy with state fees included, with a $295 expedited option in select states only. Details are on the [document retrieval](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval) page. ## If your deadline is X days away Time until the deadline The realistic path What has to be true Today or tomorrow Nothing that ends with a physical apostille in your hand Ask whether the receiving authority will accept an emailed scan while the original travels 2 to 4 business days, U.S. address Priority Express plus $49 overnight State-level document, order received early on a business day, no notarization or translation needed 5 to 8 business days, U.S. address Standard Priority plus overnight, or Express with one add-on stacked Each of notarization and translation adds about a business day before processing starts About 2 weeks, U.S. address Economy Standard plus overnight Comfortable for state documents. Still tight for federal if the FBI report is not already in hand About 2 weeks, international address Express or Standard plus $87 tracked international International transit typically 5 to 10 business days. Several destinations require a recipient tax ID for customs clearance 3 to 6 weeks Federal apostille, or an original routed to the issuing state Federal is 6 to 14 business days with no expedite. Originals add inbound courier time and the state's own queue 6 weeks or more Anything that begins with retrieving the record Agency windows run from days to several months and are outside our control ## Why the true copy route is the fast route About 95% of orders at Apostilles.us are processed as true copies, and speed is a large part of why. You upload a color scan, our licensed notary certifies the printed copy as a true and accurate reproduction, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that certification. Three deadline risks disappear: nothing waits on inbound mail, the apostille is issued where our notary is commissioned rather than queuing at the state that issued your document, and the five-year age guideline that applies to originals does not apply, so a 1974 birth certificate is not a problem. What comes back is a physical, government-issued apostille certificate under the [Hague Convention](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41), to which more than 120 countries are party. Which form of your document the receiving authority wants is its call, not ours, which is why the destination's requirement is worth confirming when it is strict. You need to send the physical original only when the receiving authority specifically demands the original document itself, which is uncommon. If that is your situation, the [true copy versus original](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) comparison covers the tradeoff. ## What "same day" usually means Same-day apostille service is real, and it is almost always a description of a government counter rather than a delivery promise. From the offices' own sites, checked August 30, 2026: [California](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/processing-times) processes in-person submissions at its Sacramento and Los Angeles offices typically within 30 minutes, for a $6 special handling fee on top of the $20 apostille fee. [Texas](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authfaqs.shtml) offers same-day service at its Austin office, capped at ten documents per person or transaction. [Utah](https://authentications.utah.gov/frequently-asked-questions/) processes same-day by appointment and does not accept walk-ins. [Washington](https://www.sos.wa.gov/corporations-charities/apostilles-services-information-resource-page) charges a $150 same-day fee at its Tumwater and Cheney counters. Every one of those requires a person standing in a specific building during business hours with a document that is already correct. A mail-in or online order is a different product with a different clock. When we say same-day processing is available on Priority Express, we mean processing starts and finishes that business day once the document is received, subject to government office availability. It is not a delivery date. ## Original-document timelines, state by state On the original pathway your physical document is routed to the issuing state, so the issuing state sets the clock. Most states run the standard tier windows of 1, 2 to 3, and 4 to 6 business days. These are the states where our published timelines differ, exactly as they appear on the [original document order form](https://apostilles.us/original-submission): Issuing state Slowest published tier Fastest published tier Arizona Economy 10 to 20 business days standard tiers Colorado Economy 7 to 10 business days standard tiers Connecticut Economy 7 to 10 business days Priority Express 1 to 2 business days Michigan Economy 4 to 6 weeks Priority Express 1 to 7 business days Nevada Economy 6 to 8 weeks standard tiers New Jersey Economy 12 to 20 business days Priority Express 1 to 2 business days New Mexico Economy 7 to 10 business days standard tiers North Carolina Economy 7 to 10 business days standard tiers Oregon Economy 10 business days standard tiers South Carolina Economy 7 to 9 business days standard tiers Washington Economy 7 to 10 business days standard tiers Wisconsin Economy 7 to 20 business days Priority Express 2 to 4 business days Two practical consequences. If your document was issued in Michigan or Nevada, the original pathway is measured in weeks at the economy tier, so a true copy from a scan is usually the only route that can meet a near deadline. And because these windows belong to the issuing state, no service tier on our side or anyone else's changes them. ## The completion scan, and what it does not replace When someone asks whether a document can be back by Monday, the answer is often no for the physical document and yes for something that may hold in the meantime. Completion Scan is $59 per document on true copy processing, and emails a color scan of the completed packet about one business day after apostille processing finishes. Requesting a scan can add a little processing time, and the packet is capped at 40 pages. Be careful what it is for. A printed copy of the scan is not the apostille, and most receiving authorities, immigration offices included, require the original physical certificate rather than a printout. Treat it as proof to an employer, school or lawyer that the work is done and traveling. It is not available on the original document pathway, where documents ship directly from the Secretary of State's office. ## What actually costs people their deadline Three patterns account for nearly every missed date, and none of them are the government being slow. Budgeting only the headline number, which covers processing and not the notary day, the translation day, the courier, or the weekend the order landed on. Buying speed where speed is not for sale: "federal processing cannot be expedited" is a sentence our team writes constantly, sometimes to people who have already paid for a one-business-day tier that cannot apply to a federal document. And assuming a lost or expired record can be replaced quickly, when that clock belongs to a vital records office or a courthouse. A fourth is preventable in ninety seconds: unclear or cropped scans, missing pages and the wrong document format are the most common reasons state processing stalls after a good start. ## What to do with a real deadline Work backwards, not forwards. Start at the date the receiving authority needs the document in hand, subtract transit, subtract the processing tier, subtract a business day for each add-on, then look at what day of the week that leaves you. If it lands earlier than today, the honest options are a scan bridge, a different pathway, or a conversation with the authority about its deadline. To have that arithmetic run against your actual document before you pay for anything, the [free document review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) at Apostilles.us is the shortest route to a real answer and is typically completed within one business day. If you already know the pathway, [submit the order](https://apostilles.us/submit) early in the day rather than late, because the intake business day is day one of everything that follows. The tier windows and the federal exception are also laid out on the [processing times](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) page. ## Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

There is no national average worth quoting. Published mail-in windows run from a few business days after receipt in the fastest offices to several weeks in the slowest, plus mail time in both directions, plus the risk that the office returns it for a defect and you start over.

If it will, nothing physical crosses a border except the finished apostille coming to you. August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer If you are living outside the United States and need a US document apostilled, one decision controls everything else: will the authority receiving your document accept the apostille on a notarized copy? If it will, nothing physical crosses a border except the finished apostille coming to you. If it will not, your original has to make a round trip, and the cost, the timeline and the risk all change. Most people who write to us have already built a plan around the second case without checking whether they are in it: mail the documents to a friend's house in the States, or worse, fly back and handle it in person. Even a diploma issued as an engraved silver plate, the kind of object no insurance could replace, processes as a true copy from a scan. In the standard case, nothing has to move. ## The remote path, and what it costs Upload a clear color scan or a legible phone photo, pay by card, receive the finished apostille by tracked courier at your address abroad. For most US documents that is the entire process, and the service page for it is [apostille from abroad](https://apostilles.us/apostille-from-abroad). The mechanism is what makes this a real apostille rather than a workaround. Our licensed notary certifies that a printed copy of your upload is a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that notarial certification. The Hague Apostille Convention lists "notarial acts" and "official certificates which are placed on documents signed by persons in their private capacity" among the public documents it covers ([HCCH, Convention of 5 October 1961, Article 1](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41)), and Article 3 makes the apostille the only formality required. One consequence is better known before you order than after: the apostille is issued by the state where our notary is commissioned, not the state that issued your document. A Utah diploma can come back with another state's apostille. That is also why a Colorado record can be processed without anyone setting foot in Colorado. Tier Turnaround (processing only) Price per document Economy Standard 4 to 6 business days $149 Standard Priority 2 to 3 business days $197 Priority Express 1 business day $249 Add $19 per document for government processing and handling, which covers state filing fees on the true copy path. Shipping is a separate line and is never included in the service price: $49 tracked domestic overnight, $87 tracked international, charged per shipment rather than per document. So the all-in answer to what an apostille costs from abroad, for one state certificate on the slowest tier delivered to Lisbon or Manila or Guadalajara, is $149 + $19 + $87 = $255. The mail-in route runs $175, $225 or $275 per document by tier, without the $19 fee, plus the same $87 return shipping and whatever your outbound courier charges you. Nothing about eligibility depends on where you are: no US address, no US bank instrument, no US phone number and no power of attorney. People assume they are blocked because they cannot buy a US money order; cards work from anywhere. Companies ask whether an overseas employee's professional certificates need a power of attorney to be handled without him; they do not. Apostilles authenticate documents, not people. About 95 percent of our orders run this way. ## What you cannot avoid ### An authority that demands the original This is the one real exception, and it is a demand made by the receiving authority, not a rule of any US state. When it applies the original must travel, which from abroad means an outbound international courier at your expense on top of everything else. One destination is a fixed rule: documents going to Israel are processed using the original physical document, and Israel is the only destination where we do not offer the copy route at all. Everywhere else the copy route is the default, with the original pathway available when your receiving authority requires it; in practice that demand comes up most often from civil registries handling marriage matters. Beyond that it is case by case, and the demand normally arrives in writing from a consulate, a registry or a bank. Occasionally a receiving authority insists the apostille be issued by the same state that issued the record, one office's stricter standard rather than a national rule; the fix is routing the original to the issuing state's Secretary of State. If you land here while abroad, the sequence is fixed: place and pay for the order first, receive a work order number and the office shipping address, then ship by trackable courier. Documents mailed before a work order exists arrive unidentifiable, and there is no walk-in or drop-off option anywhere. The package does not have to come from you, which is the part worth planning around. A county office can forward your certificate straight to us instead of sending it abroad and back, once the work order exists. A university can ship a notarized diploma directly to the processing office rather than routing it through you. A replacement certificate ordered from a vital records service can be shipped to us instead of to you. Two constraints here. Certified copies should generally have been issued within the last five years and older ones may be rejected, while the copy route has no age limit at all. And the $59 Completion Scan, which emails you a color scan of the finished packet, is available on the copy route only, because originals ship from the Secretary of State's office. ### The FBI background check FBI Identity History Summaries are federal records. Their apostille comes from the US Department of State Office of Authentications in Washington, DC, not from any state Secretary of State ([U.S. Department of State, Office of Authentications](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/authenticate-your-document/office-of-authentications.html); [NASS](https://www.nass.org/business-services/apostillesdocument-authentication-services)). No state office has jurisdiction over a federal record, which is why "apostille it in my state first, then federally" does not exist, and why living in Kentucky or Kyoto makes no difference to the route. This is also the one [federal path](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille) that works entirely from a laptop. The FBI issues the summary as a downloadable PDF, and that original file is what federal processing uses. Upload it exactly as you received it and nothing is shipped. The limits: - Federal processing is estimated at 6 to 14 business days excluding federal holidays and cannot be expedited under any circumstances. The 1-business-day tier is a state-level product and does not apply here at any price. - A scan or photocopy of a printed FBI report is not accepted, and neither are files forwarded by a fingerprinting channeler, which are scans. If the paper results are lost and the FBI-issued PDF was never downloaded, the answer is to request fresh results and specifically ask for the digital version. - We do not run the check, submit fingerprints or act as a channeler. You obtain the summary, then we apostille it. - A federal item never ships with a state item. A birth certificate plus an FBI check to the same address is two shipments and two shipping charges, $174 in total domestically. A true copy state apostille on an FBI report exists as a fallback and can be done in one business day, but it has a low acceptance rate with most receiving authorities, and acceptance is always the receiving authority's decision. We say that to everyone who asks for it under deadline pressure. ### Holding no copy at all If the document does not exist in your hands in any form, [retrieval](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval) sets your timeline, and retrieval is slower than the apostille by an order of magnitude. Vital records retrieval is $169 per certified copy with state fees included; court and corporate retrieval are priced separately on the [retrieval page](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval). Court retrieval also needs the case caption, the case number and a notarized authorization letter whose signed original must reach us by mail, which is its own delay from abroad. Every retrieval timeline is set by the issuing agency, and the spread is enormous: the fastest states issue in days while the slowest take several months for the same document type. The per-state turnaround list lives on the [retrieval page](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval), and it is the number to check before you promise anyone a date. Here is the part that saves the most money: if you already hold any scan, photocopy or phone photo, [retrieval is unnecessary](https://apostilles.us/apostille-lost-original) on the copy route. People regularly cost out the full New York chain, certified long-form certificate, Letter of Exemplification, county clerk certification, then the Department of State, when none of that applies to the copy route, and any scan at all removes the retrieval fee too. And when an appointment is weeks away and the issuing office's queue is measured in months, processing a copy you already hold is the only way to make the date. Two limits: retrieval-only orders with no apostille attached ship to US addresses only, and we retrieve through state vital records offices, so a copy that must come from a specific county clerk is one you or someone local has to obtain. ### A document issued outside the United States If the underlying document was issued abroad, the copy route is the only route. Original document processing is never available for non-US documents, whatever the destination. A foreign diploma carrying a US accreditor's address is still a foreign document: it was issued by the school abroad, so the mail-in path does not exist for it at all. Be clear about what you receive: a US apostille on a US notary's certification, not an apostille from the issuing country's competent authority. We cannot produce another country's apostille, so an authority insisting on, say, Hong Kong's competent authority has to be approached directly. See [documents issued outside the United States](https://apostilles.us/documents-issued-outside-united-states). ## International shipping, and what the $87 buys One tracked international shipment, dispatched the same or next business day after the apostille is issued, typically arriving in about 5 to 10 business days depending on destination and customs. What it does not buy: - A carrier of your choosing. International shipments go by tracked courier, commonly FedEx International Priority, but a specific carrier cannot be guaranteed, and client-supplied labels, prepaid envelopes and courier accounts cannot be used. - Overnight service. Overnight is a domestic product. There is no international overnight tier. - Immunity from customs. Customs delays and any duties are outside our control. Shipment count is the cost variable people miss. You are charged per apostille jurisdiction the order touches, not per document. On the copy route, several documents processed through the same office ship together on one $87 charge. On the mail-in route each issuing state is a separate destination, so an Ohio certificate and an Arizona certificate mean two apostilles, two states and two international shipments. A federal item never travels with a state item. Customs identification numbers are yours to supply. Mexico requires the consignee's tax ID: as of 1 January 2025 all Mexican import declarations must include the importer of record's RFC regardless of value or transport mode, and Mexico removed the option to use a generic taxpayer number for express clearance ([US International Trade Administration](https://www.trade.gov/country-commercial-guides/mexico-customs-regulations)). Brazil requires the recipient's CPF for individuals or CNPJ for companies, the postal rule being that "the importer tax identification (ID) number is required for all items containing goods" ([USPS Postal Explorer, Brazil](https://pe.usps.com/text/imm/ab_029.htm)). Beyond those two, carriers commonly ask for a recipient tax or ID number for customs screening on shipments to Brazil, Chile, China, Indonesia, Mexico, South Korea, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan and Turkey. It is the receiving person's number, not your SSN or EIN, and a missing one is a common reason packages sit in customs or come back. Having no fixed street address is not a blocker. We can ship to a nominated FedEx pickup location, and we ship to a lawyer, a consulate or a relative when that is where the document needs to land. ## How many copies to order We cannot tell you, because the number is set by the offices receiving them. But one operational fact decides it more often than anything else: civil registries and similar authorities generally keep the apostilled document. It does not come back. If one event has to be registered in two countries, marrying in one and recording the marriage in another, one apostilled birth certificate will not serve both. Receiving authorities for marriage and civil registry purposes typically retain the apostilled document, so order one apostilled copy per authority that will keep one. So if you are setting up a life abroad and working through residency, healthcare, a school and a bank, count the authorities that will physically retain a document rather than the applications you will file. Submitting several documents in one order is cheaper than several orders, both because volume pricing is applied at checkout and because documents processed through the same office share one shipment. ## A US certified translation is not a traducción jurada This is the most expensive misunderstanding in the category, because it surfaces after the apostille has been issued. Our certified translation is a US certified translation with a signed certificate of accuracy, notarized on request. It is not a Spanish traducción jurada by a traductor jurado appointed by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We tell Spanish equivalence applicants exactly that, and that they are welcome to remove translation from the order and arrange the sworn translation in Spain after they receive the apostilled document. The pattern repeats across civil-law destinations: France works through a traducteur assermenté sworn before its courts, Brazil through a tradutor juramentado registered with a state Junta Comercial, Poland through a tłumacz przysięgły on the Ministry of Justice register, Turkey through a yeminli tercüman whose translation is notarized by a Turkish noter, and some Chinese authorities require the translation to be notarized or performed within China. Where the destination requires its own sworn translator, a US translation cannot substitute however well certified. Two sequencing notes. Where the receiving office wants the translation to cover the apostille, the apostille has to exist first, so translate second or you may pay twice. And a translation add-on adds about one business day before apostille processing begins, which quietly turns a 1-business-day order into a 2-business-day one. Language coverage and pricing are on the [certified translation](https://apostilles.us/certified-translation) page. ## Support from twelve time zones away Support is email only, at contact@apostilles.us. There is no phone line, no WhatsApp channel and no walk-in counter, in any country including the United States. A message written at 22:00 in Manila is read the same working day in the US, but a same-hour answer is not available and no deadline should depend on one. If you are far east of Eastern time, note that remote online notarization sessions, needed when a private document with a signature block must be notarized before apostille, are confirmed immediately for slots between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM Eastern and otherwise confirmed the next business morning. ## Before you order - Ask your receiving authority, in writing, whether it accepts an apostille on a notarized copy. If it does, no original moves. If it insists on the original, plan an outbound courier and order the mail-in service. - Search your own files for any image of the document. A photo on an old phone is the difference between a $169 retrieval behind a multi-week agency queue and no retrieval at all. - Count the authorities that will keep a copy , not the applications you will file. - Check whether the destination requires its own sworn translator , and if it does, budget for that translation to happen there, after the apostille. If any of those answers is uncertain, send the document and the destination through the [free document review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) first. It is the step that stops people paying for the wrong route, and it costs nothing. ## Disclaimer The information provided in this article is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.

Upload a scan, pay by card, and the completed apostille ships to your address in China, which has been an Apostille Convention party since 7 November 2023 (HCCH status table: https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=41). Carriers commonly ask for the recipient's ID number for customs screening, so have it ready, and check whether the Chinese authority requires the translation to be notarized or performed within China.

Apostille guide # Diploma and Transcript Apostille: Original or Copy? A copy works for a diploma or transcript apostille: a notary certifies your scanned document as a true and accurate reproduction, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that certification. Your diploma stays on your wall, and what comes back is a physical, government issued apostille. August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer A copy. For a diploma or transcript issued by a US school, the standard working route is a notarized true copy: you upload a clear color scan, a notary certifies the printed copy as a true and accurate reproduction of the original, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that notarial certification. Your diploma stays on your wall, and what comes back is a physical, government issued apostille. The original route exists, and a small number of receiving authorities do insist on it. What stops those orders is almost never the Secretary of State. It is the registrar. Original processing requires a jurat notarization on the academic document itself, a jurat has to be sworn in front of a physical notary, and many registrars will only arrange that for the student, in person, on the school's own schedule. That is the failure that keeps recurring, and it recurs at the school rather than at any government office. ## Why a diploma is not handled like a birth certificate A certified birth certificate arrives already signed and sealed by a government registrar whose signature the state can verify against its own records. A diploma does not. It is issued by a school, and a Secretary of State does not hold specimen signatures for university registrars, deans, or presidents. Everything else follows from that. The [Hague Convention](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41) closes the gap through the notary. Article 1 counts "notarial acts" and "official certificates which are placed on documents signed by persons in their private capacity" as public documents in their own right, and Article 3 limits the apostille to certifying the signature, the capacity in which the signer acted, and the seal. An apostille on academic paper is therefore never an apostille on your education. It is an apostille on a notarial act about your education. [Texas publishes both accepted forms](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml) of that act side by side. The Secretary of State lists "Copy of a Transcript" and "Copy of a Diploma" among the non-recordable documents it will apostille, with the footnote: "A notary may make a certified copy of the document, which must contain a true and accurate notarial certificate, if the document is not filed with a state, county, or city office or agency." The notarized copy and the school-signed original are two document forms the state treats as equally valid inputs, not a proper route and a workaround. ## What the copy route requires, and what it does not Three things customers expect to have to do, and do not: The university does not have to notarize anything. This is the most common academic misconception we see. Graduates abroad regularly ask whether a scan is enough or whether a notarized copy has to be obtained from the school first. A clear scan of the diploma is sufficient for true copy processing; nothing needs to be obtained from the university. You do not have to arrange your own notarization session either. Academic documents are the exception to the general signature block rule. Even though a diploma carries signatures, diplomas, transcripts, and degree certificates are processed directly from a clear scan and the notarial statement is prepared in house. That exception is narrow, and it is worth knowing where it ends: a signed but unnotarized private document, for example a course syllabus or a curriculum outline carrying a dean's signature block, or an employer letter, is treated as a private document and does need a notarial act first. On the copy route that is remote online notarization at $197 per document. The apostille will usually carry a different state's seal than your school. On the copy route the apostille is issued by the Secretary of State where the notary is commissioned, not where the school sits. People who receive a different state's apostille on their degree sometimes write in convinced a mistake has been made. Nothing is wrong: that state is where the notarial act happened, so that state certified it. This is standard under the Convention, and the [true copy versus original](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) page explains the mechanic in full. One rule does apply to you. The person named on the document is its custodian. When a school or training provider submits certificates on behalf of its graduates, each submission still has to name the individual certificate holder as custodian rather than the institution. ## The original route, and the jurat that stops it If your receiving authority has told you in writing that it wants the apostille on the original, the requirements change completely. A jurat is not an ordinary notarization. Academic documents require a jurat specifically, the sworn-to-and-subscribed-before-me notarial act, and a diploma that already carries a notarization usually carries the wrong one. An acknowledgment, which is the notarial act most people have seen, is not a jurat. Documents arrive carrying one and have to go back for re-notarization before original processing can proceed. Remote online notarization is never accepted on the original route. Not discouraged, not case by case. It is available on the copy route for signed private documents, and refused outright for original processing. The notary has to be commissioned in the state that will issue the apostille. A diploma notarized in one state cannot produce another state's apostille. When academic documents arrive already notarized out of state, the options are a fresh notarization in the issuing state or the copy route, which produces an apostille from the notary's own state instead. Some states insert a county step before the state one. [New York is the clearest published example](https://dos.ny.gov/apostille-certificate-authentication): "Notarized documents must be certified by the County Clerk of the County where the notary is certified to notarize," and the Department of State "only authenticates public documents issued in New York State which are signed by a New York State official or county clerk," at $10 per document. Graduates map that entire chain themselves, registrar certification, then the county clerk, then the Department of State, and then discover the chain cannot start because the document carries no jurat. The copy route skips the county clerk step entirely. Only the school or the document custodian can perform the jurat on an academic record. We do not notarize academic records for original processing. That leaves three ways forward: the school notarizes and releases the document, we coordinate directly with the registrar's office on your behalf for $195 per document, or an in-state [mobile notary](https://apostilles.us/mobile-notary) attends at $197 per document, which still requires the signer to be physically present. That is where the route usually breaks, and not in the way people expect. [UC Berkeley publishes](https://www.registrar.berkeley.edu/academic-records/notary-services/) that it will notarize "official transcripts, verification documents, and diplomas or diploma photocopies," that for diplomas "you must provide a photocopy to notarize," and that it arranges notarization twice a month. So the cooperative outcome is often a notarized photocopy on a two week cycle, which is the copy route with extra steps. The uncooperative outcomes look like this. Some registrars confirm that the student must personally submit the request for the notarized document, which closes the original route for anyone abroad. Others have moved to digital-only records and stop answering calls, and producing certified, notarized copies takes an escalation to a dean. Neither delay has anything to do with a government office. When the original route is genuinely worth it. Occasionally an embassy or receiving authority states in writing that it will not accept a notary-certified true copy made by an independent notary. Academic verification is not something an apostille service performs, so the honest answer in that situation is a jurat-notarized copy from the university registrar and the issuing state's original pathway. That is what a real exception looks like: a receiving authority stating the requirement, in writing, before you order. Separately, our own routing treats Israel as an original-only destination for every document type, academic records included, so a diploma bound for Israel does not go on the copy route at all. ## Diploma and transcript are two documents They are separate documents, each needs its own apostille, and each is priced as one document. Pricing is per document and not per page, so a four page transcript is one document and the one page diploma next to it is another. The same applies to duplicates. Three apostilled copies of one diploma are three documents: each copy requires its own notarization and its own apostille from the Secretary of State, and each is priced as a separate document even though they reproduce the same diploma. Which of the two you actually need is set by the receiving institution, not by us and not by the Convention. Some foreign universities accept an apostilled transcript alone for admissions. Professional licensing bodies abroad commonly want both. Ask before you pay for two. ## eDiplomas, CeDiplomas, Parchment, and digital credentials An apostille is not stamped onto the PDF you were emailed. Some authorities do issue apostilles as signed electronic files, but only for certain document types and only some countries accept them, and there is no single nationwide US e-apostille program, which is why most American documents follow the traditional paper route. That does not make a born-digital credential a problem. The right question to ask about an eDiploma is which artifact gets apostilled: a university-issued notarized copy, or a printout of the PDF? The PDF is sufficient for true copy processing, and nothing needs to be requested from the university; all necessary preparation is handled internally. The PDF is printed, the notary certifies the printed copy, and the apostille is issued on the notarial certificate. The same holds for a certified electronic diploma carrying a verification link, and for transcripts delivered through Parchment or a similar platform. Two practical checks before you upload. Print or export at full size with nothing cropped, including any verification URL, QR code, or security block, because those are part of the document the notary certifies as a complete and accurate copy. And include every page: a transcript's reverse side and legend page belong to the same document. If your receiving authority has said it will only accept an electronic record verified through an online apostille register, check that requirement specifically. QR verification is controlled by the issuing state authority and not every state offers it, so the reliably accepted artifact remains the physical apostille. ## High school diplomas and equivalency credentials The routing is identical. A copy of a high school diploma or transcript works the same way a university one does, and the school does not need to be involved. A high school equivalency credential (GED, HiSET, or a state equivalent) generally comes from the agency that administers the program in your state rather than from a school, so that is where you order a replacement, but nothing about the apostille route changes. Where secondary school documents do differ is on the original route. Many high school diplomas are mass printed with no individual signature on them, and a jurat has to be sworn by a person. If a district cannot produce a signed diploma or a signed graduation letter, the original route may have no signature to authenticate at all, while the copy route is unaffected because you are the custodian of your own diploma. ## Diplomas issued outside the United States A foreign-issued diploma can be processed as a true copy only. Original processing is never available for a document issued outside the United States, regardless of destination or document type. Be precise about what that apostille is: it authenticates the US notary's certification of the copy. It does not convert a foreign credential into a US one, and it is not the apostille a foreign ministry would issue on the same document. A foreign diploma accredited by a US accreditation body is still a non-US document: the accreditor is not the issuing authority, the school abroad is, so the process does not belong in the accreditor's state. A UK degree runs the same way in reverse, since an apostille on the UK original comes from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office rather than any US authority. See [documents issued outside the United States](https://apostilles.us/documents-issued-outside-united-states) for how those orders are routed. ## Spain, admissions, and teaching abroad Spain generates more academic apostille questions than any other destination, and the two Spanish processes people conflate have different document expectations. For university admission through UNEDasiss, the [published requirement](https://unedasiss.uned.es/paso_3) is a copy: "Copia de los expedientes académicos de los dos últimos cursos preuniversitarios legalizada mediante Apostilla de la Haya o legalización por vía diplomática," an apostilled copy of the academic records for the last two pre-university years. A notarized true copy carrying an apostille is the artifact that requirement describes. For [homologación of a foreign university degree](https://www.ciencia.gob.es/Universidades/validate/homologacion.html), the application itself is filed exclusively through the ministry's sede electrónica. Our own recommendation, based on what applicants have been asked to produce afterwards, is to take physical delivery of the apostilled document rather than a scan-only option, so that you hold the paper if it is requested later. That is operational advice rather than a published ministry rule, and the ministry's own requirements guide is the authority on what must be attached. One translation point, because it costs people money. A US certified translation is not a Spanish sworn translation. Our certified translation is a US certified translation with notarization; it is not the equivalent of a traducción jurada performed by a translator officially authorized by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If your receiving body has asked for a traducción jurada, do not buy a US certified translation for that purpose; arrange the sworn translation in Spain after receiving the apostilled document. What we do provide is described on [certified translation](https://apostilles.us/certified-translation), and teaching program document sets are covered on [teaching abroad](https://apostilles.us/teaching-abroad-apostille) and [apostille for Spain](https://apostilles.us/apostille-for-spain-visa). ## What the apostille does not certify An apostille authenticates the signature and seal of the certifying official. It does not verify the content of the underlying document, and no apostille authority, government or private, contacts a university to confirm that a degree was genuinely awarded before issuing one. On the copy route it certifies the notary on the custodial certificate, not the diploma. If your receiving institution needs proof that the degree itself is real, that is credential verification or evaluation, a different product entirely. ## Before you order Two things decide your route, and neither is the state your school is in. First, has the receiving authority told you in writing that it requires the apostille on the original document? If not, the copy route is the standard path. Second, if it has, can your registrar produce a jurat-notarized document, and will it release that document to anyone other than you in person? Ask that question before you pay for original processing, not after. Copy processing is $149 per document on the Economy Standard tier (4 to 6 business days) plus the $19 government processing and handling fee, so $168 all in per document, with shipping billed separately. Faster tiers and original processing are listed on [pricing](https://apostilles.us/pricing). If you are unsure which route your documents need, send them through the [free document review](https://apostilles.us/free-review) first, or start a copy order at [submit](https://apostilles.us/submit).

August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer A foreign probate court, bank, pension fund or civil registry has asked for an apostilled US death certificate. Three facts decide how that request goes, and none of them is the country the document is going to. - Which copy you hold. The underlying record has to be a certified copy issued by a vital records authority; a funeral home's paperwork is not it. On the original route the state authenticates the registrar's signature on that certificate directly. On the true copy route a clear scan of it is enough, because the signature being authenticated is our notary's certification of the copy. - Which authority signed that copy. States name different offices as their apostille authority, and several will only apostille a certificate signed by one specific official. Georgia does not use its Secretary of State at all. New York City records are not New York State records. - Which route you use. On the original-document route the apostille has to come from the state that issued the certificate. On the true copy route it comes from the state where our notary is commissioned, usually a different state. That is normal under the Hague Convention, and it is also the thing receiving authorities push back on more than anything else we see. ## Which copy of a death certificate can be apostilled The apostille does not authenticate the fact of the death. Under Article 3 of the [1961 Convention](https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/full-text/?cid=41) it authenticates "the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted and, where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which it bears." So when a state office is asked to apostille the certificate itself, on the original-document route, its question is narrow: is there a signature on this paper whose specimen we hold on file? That is why a funeral home's copy fails there, and why a photocopy fails there. [California states it in four words](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/apostille-faqs): "A photocopy is not acceptable." On the true copy route the state is authenticating our notary's certification instead, so what follows in this section matters as a description of the record you scan, not a bar to scanning it. The accepted issuer then varies more than most families expect. Here are the states we see most often on estate work, each checked against the authority's own page. Where the death occurred Certified copy the apostille authority accepts Authority that issues the apostille [New York State](https://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/apostille.htm), outside the five boroughs Issued by the NYS Department of Health and bearing "the signature of the Director of Vital Statistics or NYS Registrar" NY Department of State, $10 per document, no county clerk step [New York City](https://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/apostille.htm), the five boroughs The NYC-issued certificate plus a Letter of Exemplification, which you have to request at the time you order the record NY Department of State, but only after the New York County Clerk certifies it [Georgia](https://www.gsccca.org/notary-and-apostilles/apostilles/general-apostille-information) Certified copy from the Georgia state vital records office or from a county probate court or health department, carrying the issuing official's signature and seal. A copy issued since 2000 is recommended Georgia Superior Court Clerks' Cooperative Authority. Not the Secretary of State [Texas](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml) "the original Texas issued document, a Texas issued certified copy, or an original Texas notarized document." Certified records "must have been issued within the past five (5) years" Texas Secretary of State, $15 per document [California](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/apostille-faqs) Signed by a county clerk or deputy, a county recorder or deputy, or the State Registrar California Secretary of State, $20 per apostille [Florida](https://www.floridahealth.gov/certificates-records/apostille-notarial-certificates/) A certificate from the Bureau of Vital Statistics, or from a County Health Department, signed by the State Registrar Florida Department of State, "the only designated competent authority to issue apostilles in Florida" Two of those rows carry a trap. California. If your certified copy was signed by a Health Officer or a County Registrar rather than by a county clerk, a county recorder or the State Registrar, the Secretary of State's [own FAQ](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/apostille-faqs) says that before you present it, "one of the following may be required: have that birth or death certificate certified by the county clerk's office in the county in which it was issued, or obtain a certified copy of that birth or death certificate from the county recorder or State of California Department of Public Health." Two certified copies of the same California death can behave differently at the same counter. New York City is not New York State. A record issued by the New York State Department of Health goes straight to the Department of State. A record for a death in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx or Staten Island has to pass through the New York County Clerk first, and it needs a Letter of Exemplification that you can only ask for while you are ordering the certificate. Order the certificate without it and you are ordering twice. For the physical condition checks that apply to any death certificate before it enters processing, see our [death certificate apostille page](https://apostilles.us/apostille-death-certificate). ## Can the apostille come from any state? One phrasing that brings people here reads, almost verbatim: can I have an apostille done in any state if the original death certificate comes from South Carolina? It depends entirely on the route. Original-document route. No. An apostille authority can only authenticate a signature it holds on file, so a South Carolina registrar's signature is authenticated in South Carolina. Texas puts it plainly: the document must be "Texas issued." If an estate involves records from three states, the original route means three submissions to three authorities, and on our side three shipments, one per issuing state, at $49 domestic or $87 international each. True copy route. Yes, and this is the counter-intuitive part. Our notary certifies a printed copy of your scan as a true and accurate reproduction, and the Secretary of State apostilles the notary's certification. The apostille therefore names the state where the notary is commissioned, not the state that issued the death certificate. It is a valid, government-issued apostille, and it is what makes it possible to apostille records from four states in one order without mailing anything. It is also where estates get hurt. Picture the standard failure: three vital records from three different issuing states, processed as true copies for a consulate that expected originals. All three come back carrying one notary's state apostille and none carries the issuing state's seal. A consulate whose internal rule is stricter than the Convention can reject that file on both grounds at once, copies rather than originals and the wrong state, and the consulate is the one holding the file. The processing was correct under the Convention; the fix is still reprocessing under the original route, one submission per issuing state. So: if the receiving institution has put anything in writing about originals or about the issuing state, follow it and use the original route. If it has not, true copy is the standard path and what we recommend by default. One routing rule of our own sits on top of that. We process documents destined for Israel on the original route only; Israel is the only destination where true copy processing is not offered at all. For every other destination the copy route is the default, and the original route exists for the receiving authorities that ask for it. The [true copy vs original comparison](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) has the full mechanics of both routes. ## Death certificates from decades ago Foreign estates are often opened for deaths that happened a long time ago, when a property title finally has to move or a pension arrears claim surfaces. The age question is real, and it splits by route. The original route runs into published age limits. [Texas](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml) will not apostille a certified record issued more than five years ago: "Documents older than five years may not be verifiable and cannot be apostilled." Georgia's authority recommends a copy issued since 2000 and suggests ordering a new one if yours predates it. Our own original-route guidance follows the same logic, because a stale copy is the thing most likely to come back from a state office: certified copies should generally be five years old or newer. None of that applies to the true copy route, where there is no age restriction, because the signature being authenticated is our notary's and it was made this week. Note what that does and does not solve. It solves the age of the paper. It does not solve a receiving authority that has told you it wants a recently issued certificate, and a number of them do, particularly foreign probate courts. If your instruction letter names a recency window, order a fresh certified copy and apostille that. If the copy is too old for the route you need, or you cannot find it at all, we can retrieve a newly issued certified copy and apostille it in the same order. ## The Consular Report of Death Abroad goes somewhere else entirely If the person died outside the United States, the US record of that death is a Consular Report of Death Abroad, and it is a federal document with its own apostille authority. The [Hague Conference's listing of designated US competent authorities](https://www.hcch.net/en/states/authorities/details3/?aid=353) separates them: the Office of Authentications handles documents issued by federal agencies, state authorities handle state documents, and "The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs, Passport Services, Vital Records Section issues apostilles for Consular Reports of Birth, Death and Marriage." Extra certified copies also come from the Department of State, not from any state. The request goes on a notarized Form DS-5542 with a photocopy of your ID, at $50 per record, mailed to Passport Vital Records in Sterling, Virginia ([official instructions](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/replace-certify-docs/requesting-a-record/copy-CRDA.html)). Copies filed in 1975 or later are issued "to next of kin and legal representation for estate purposes," which is exactly the situation most people requesting one are in. In practice we route these the way we route other federal documents: a true copy state apostille from a scan by default, with the federal path available on request. Families abroad sometimes assume they cannot order at all because the federal copy-request process asks for US-drawn payment they cannot produce. For the apostille itself there is no payment obstacle and no document obstacle: card payment, a scan, true copy processing, tracked international return. ## A foreign death certificate cannot be apostilled by a US authority Two of the queries that land here are "what's the quickest way to get a foreign death certificate apostilled" and "how to get an apostille of a Japanese death certificate in Texas." The quickest way is to stop looking in the United States. Article 3 of the Convention places the certificate with "the competent authority of the State from which the document emanates." A Japanese death certificate is apostilled by Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan's designated competent authority. The Texas Secretary of State cannot do it, and its own requirement says why: it needs a "Texas issued" document. What can be done here is narrower, and it does solve some cases. A US notary can certify a true copy of the foreign certificate, and a US Secretary of State can apostille that notarization. The apostille then authenticates the US notary, not the foreign registrar. We process foreign-issued documents this way routinely, true copy only, and the original route is never available for them. Whether it satisfies your receiving authority is their call, so ask before you order: if they want the Japanese record authenticated as a Japanese record, only Japan can do that. ## What the estate will ask for besides the death certificate A death certificate on its own rarely closes anything. Across our estate, pension and property threads it almost always travels with two or three other documents, and each has its own route: - Proof of relationship. Birth and marriage certificates establishing that the claimant is the spouse, child or heir. State vital records, with the same issuer rules as above. - A will, letters testamentary, or a court order. Court documents, certified by the clerk of the issuing court, with their own age limits on the original route. - A power of attorney , when the heir cannot appear in the foreign proceeding. A private document, so it needs notarization before it can be apostilled, unlike the death certificate, which needs none. See [power of attorney apostille](https://apostilles.us/blog/power-of-attorney). - A pension or benefit letter , where the claim is against a US pension, Social Security or an annuity rather than an estate. Federal documents, defaulting to the state true copy route. - Certified translation , for civil-law registries and probate courts that will not read English. Two operational notes. Foreign institutions frequently keep the apostilled document: a bank, a land registry and a probate court working the same estate will each want their own and none will send it back, which is why estates order more than one apostilled copy up front. Volume pricing applies on our Standard and Express tiers; Economy and the original route are excluded. And correcting an error on a death certificate is outside the scope of our services. A misspelled name or wrong date has to be amended by the vital records office that issued it, before any apostille is worth ordering. ## When the family holds nothing Two things decide whether retrieval is possible, and the first is eligibility, not money. Vital records offices restrict who may order a death certificate. Where the requestor is not the spouse, parent, child or sibling of the deceased, the vital records agency requires documentation of a lawful right or claim: an official letter from the agency or authority processing the claim, stating that the death record is required to process it. Promissory notes or debt documents on their own may not satisfy that requirement. A creditor pursuing an estate needs a letter from the court or agency handling the claim. A direct relative usually does not. The second is time, and this is the phase people underestimate by an order of magnitude. Retrieval precedes apostille processing entirely, and both are separate from shipping transit. The spread between agencies is enormous: the fastest offices issue in days and the slowest take several months, and New York City sits at the slow end while New York State outside the boroughs runs far faster. The per-state list is on the [retrieval page](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval). If the death was in one of the five boroughs and there is a court deadline, the retrieval is the deadline. Vital records retrieval is $169 per certified copy with state fees included, through [document retrieval](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval), and it has a useful side effect. When we retrieve the certificate we are holding the certified original, so the apostille can be issued directly on it rather than on a notarized copy. That is the cleanest way to satisfy a receiving authority that has demanded an original, without anyone in the family mailing anything. What retrieval is not for: if you already have any scan, photo or photocopy, you do not need it for the true copy route. Upload what you have. ## Translation Civil registries, notaries and probate courts in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, German and French speaking countries generally want the death certificate in their language. Order of operations matters: an authority that wants the apostille itself translated needs the apostille to exist first, so apostille and then translate, unless your instruction letter says otherwise. Certified translation is available as an add-on at $97 per page for a one to two page order, with the per-page rate dropping as total pages rise; see [certified translation](https://apostilles.us/certified-translation). Some civil-law countries only accept a translator sworn before their own courts, so if your letter uses a term like traductor jurado or traduttore giurato, confirm what they will accept before ordering. ## What to settle before you order In this order, because each answer changes the next one: - Get the receiving institution's instruction in writing: does it demand the original document, does it demand an apostille from the issuing state, does it set a recency window on the certificate. - Identify the issuing authority on the copy you hold and check it against the table above. A funeral home document, a photocopy, or a NYC certificate without a Letter of Exemplification is the wrong thing to order. - Count the institutions. Each one that keeps the document needs its own apostilled copy. - List the companion documents: relationship records, court records, a power of attorney, a pension letter. - If anything is missing or too old for the route you need, start retrieval first. It is the long pole.

The record request is almost always the longer wait, and it can often be skipped entirely if you already have any copy of the document. August 31, 2026 ## The Short Answer If you do not hold the certificate and you need it apostilled, you are running two clocks, not one. The first clock is the record request: a vital records office issuing you a fresh certified copy. The second is the apostille: a Secretary of State authenticating the signature and seal on that copy. The apostille clock runs in business days. The record clock runs in weeks, and in a few jurisdictions in months. The record request is almost always the long pole. Our apostille tiers are 1 business day, 2 to 3 business days, and 4 to 6 business days. Georgia's Office of Vital Records publishes a standard processing time of up to 10 weeks. That is not a close race, and the gap is where nearly every blown deadline comes from. When customers write to us saying "I need this in three weeks," the apostille was never the problem. Before you pay for a record request, check whether you need one at all. Enough people ask us for retrieval and turn out not to need it that staff raise the point unprompted. ## If you hold any copy at all, you probably do not need to order a new certificate The retrieval service exists for people who hold nothing. If you have the certificate, or a scan of it, or a photocopy in a folder somewhere, or a phone picture your mother sent you, the standard [true copy pathway](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) works from that image, provided the image is clear and complete and your receiving authority has not demanded the apostille on an original certified document. Our notary certifies a printed copy as a true and accurate reproduction, and the Secretary of State issues the apostille on that certification. Nothing is mailed, and no new certificate has to be ordered. Two consequences people miss: There is no document age rule on the true copy path. A 1979 birth certificate scan is as usable as one printed last week. The 5-year age expectation applies to the [Original Protocol](https://apostilles.us/original-submission), where your physical certificate is routed to the issuing state's own Secretary of State, and older documents can be rejected there. That is a real reason to order a fresh copy, but it applies only if you are on that path. Nothing has to be certified before you upload it. People regularly arrive having mapped out the full New York chain, certified long form, Letter of Exemplification, county clerk certification, then the New York Department of State, when none of that applies to the pathway they are about to use. True copy processing does not require a Letter of Exemplification, county clerk certification, or shipment of the original physical document; a clear scan or photocopy of the certificate is what it works from. If you can find any usable scan at all, the retrieval fee does not apply. So retrieval is the right service in two situations: you genuinely have no copy of any kind, or your receiving authority has told you it wants the apostille on an original certified document and the one you hold is too old or does not exist. See [what to do when the original is lost](https://apostilles.us/apostille-lost-original) for the decision in full. ## What the record actually takes, by state The table below is what each issuing office itself publishes for record requests, for the thirteen jurisdictions that come up most often in apostille work, checked August 30, 2026, with each figure linked to the office page it came from. Our managed-retrieval turnaround for every state, not just these, is published in one place, the [retrieval page](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval), and that list is the number to plan around: third-party requests, long forms, older records needing a search, and certificates that carry a Letter of Exemplification sit in slower queues than a parent ordering a recent certificate online. Jurisdiction Published by the issuing office (checked August 30, 2026) [New York State](https://www.health.ny.gov/vital_records/mailrequests.htm) (outside NYC) Mail, regular handling: 10 to 12 weeks. Internet or telephone orders receive priority handling: 5 to 10 business days [New York City](https://www.nyc.gov/site/doh/services/birth-death-records-fees.page) Online: 2 to 3 weeks, plus up to 2 weeks for regular mail delivery. By mail: about 12 weeks. Add 2 weeks for a long form or any record requiring a search [New Jersey](https://www.nj.gov/health/vital/order-vital/online-requests/) Online: 6 to 8 weeks. Mail: 8 to 10 weeks. Same day in person at the local registrar or the Trenton counter [California](https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/Pages/Vital-Records-Processing-Times.aspx) State office average 4 to 6 weeks. CDPH itself notes you can often obtain the certificate more quickly from the county office [Texas](https://www.dshs.texas.gov/vital-statistics/processing-times) Texas.gov orders 20 to 25 business days. Mail-in 25 to 30 business days [Florida](https://www.floridahealth.gov/certificates-records/birth-certificates/) 3 to 5 business days for computer-generated certificates, not including shipping. Records before 1970 need additional time [Illinois](https://dph.illinois.gov/topics-services/birth-death-other-records/birth-records/obtain-birth-certificate.html) (state office) About 12 weeks from the date paperwork is received [Cook County Clerk](https://www.cookcountyclerkil.gov/vital-records/birth-death-records/birth-certificates) (Chicago) Mail: average 20 working days. Online through VitalChek: 10 to 14 business days with regular mail [Pennsylvania](https://www.pa.gov/agencies/health/programs/vital-records/processing-times) About 2 weeks, online or by mail [Georgia](https://dph.georgia.gov/VitalRecords) Up to 10 weeks. Expedited shipping affects delivery only and does not reduce processing time [Michigan](https://www.michigan.gov/mdhhs/doing-business/vitalrecords/additonal-information/turn-around-time_1) Mail: 4 to 5 weeks regular, 2 to 3 weeks with the rush fee, excluding mail time. Will-call pickup: 2 to 5 business days [Ohio](https://odh.ohio.gov/know-our-programs/vital-statistics/How-to-Order-Certificates/VS-How-to-Order-Certificates) Online orders processed within 5 business days, delivery about 3 weeks. Mail: 4 to 6 weeks, with no expedited mail service offered [Washington](https://doh.wa.gov/licenses-permits-and-certificates/vital-records/ordering-vital-record/birth-record) VitalChek: 3 to 7 business days. By mail: 8 to 10 weeks. In person: most orders same day Court records run on the individual court's own speed, and for several courts we decline to give a firm estimate at all. Three things fall out of that table. The ordering channel changes the answer more than the state does. Washington is 3 to 7 business days through the state's online vendor and 8 to 10 weeks by mail. New York State is 5 to 10 business days with priority handling and 10 to 12 weeks with regular mail handling. Michigan is the state where paying the rush fee on a mail order genuinely moves the queue, from 4 to 5 weeks down to 2 to 3. If you are arranging this yourself, picking the channel is most of the decision. Expedite usually buys shipping, not processing. Georgia states it outright: expedited shipping applies to delivery time and does not reduce the standard processing time. Texas processes overnight-mailed expedited applications first but still publishes them in the 20 to 25 business day band. This is why "order a birth certificate with apostille express service" does not exist as a product in most states. Our own Priority Express tier is a 1 business day apostille tier. It has never been able to speed up a vital records office. The simple case and your case may sit in different queues. An agency's fastest published number usually describes a parent ordering a recent certificate online. A third-party request, a long form, an older record needing a search, or a certificate that must carry a Letter of Exemplification runs slower at the same agency. Our published turnarounds are set for the managed-retrieval case, and when a timeline cannot meet your deadline we say so before you order rather than after. ## County clerk records and state vital records are two different channels Managed retrieval works through the state Vital Records office, which is the standard issuing channel for birth, marriage, and death certificates. That is not always where the record you need lives, and it is not always where your receiving authority wants it from. [California's own health department](https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CHSI/Pages/Vital-Records-Processing-Times.aspx) says the county office is often faster than the state office. [Florida's state bureau](https://www.floridahealth.gov/certificates-records/marriage-certificates/) holds marriage records recorded by the clerk of court from June 6, 1927 onward, while earlier marriages come from the clerk of court in the county that issued the license. In New Jersey, a county "Birth Registration Certificate" is not the "Certified NJ Vital Statistics Birth Certificate," and when a receiving authority asks for the second, only the second will do. When a receiving authority insists on the county clerk's own certified copy, the copy has to come from that county office: county clerks and recorders issue their certified copies directly to the record holder or someone acting locally on their behalf. Once the record holder has the county-issued copy in hand, we apostille it like any other certified record. ### New York, the county clerk step, and the Letter of Exemplification New York is the jurisdiction that generates the most confusion of any, so it is worth stating the rule in both directions. On the original document path, a New York vital record generally goes to the county clerk for certification before the New York Department of State can attach the apostille, and NYC birth certificates need a Letter of Exemplification issued by the NYC Department of Health. We handle both steps in house as part of the apostille processing, and when we retrieve a new NYC birth certificate the Letter of Exemplification comes with it at no extra charge. You do not visit 60 Centre Street or Albany yourself. On the true copy path, none of that chain applies. Our true copy process does not include a Letter of Exemplification because the apostille itself provides the authentication under the Hague Convention. Several customers have paid for steps they did not need because they read the New York process and assumed it was the only process. ## Court records: caption, case number, and a wet-signed authorization Court retrieval is a different service with different inputs. To start one we need the case caption (the names of the parties), the case number, and the specific document you want certified. Many courts also require a notarized authorization letter on our template, and the original signed letter has to reach our office; scans or copies are not accepted, and retrieval begins only once the original authorization letter is received. A scanned authorization does not start the clock. Vital records are different. For a birth certificate retrieval, a notarized authorization letter or power of attorney is not typically required. Death certificates sit in between: if the requester is not the spouse, parent, child, or sibling of the deceased, the vital records agency requires documentation of a lawful right or claim, meaning an official letter from the agency processing your claim. A promissory note or a debt document on its own may not satisfy that. One structural consequence: when we retrieve for you, we end up holding the physical certified copy. At that point the sensible route is usually the original path, since the Secretary of State can apostille the certified copy directly rather than us producing a notarized copy of a document already in our hands. Retrieval and Original Protocol tend to travel together. ## Records only you can request - Driving records. State DMVs, PennDOT among them, typically release a driving record only to the record holder, so the request has to come from you directly; third-party release rules, not anything about the apostille, decide this one. Customers exchanging a US licence in Portugal hit it most often. - Records available only from a county office outside the state Vital Records channel , as above. - Criminal background checks. Neither an FBI Identity History Summary nor a state-level check can be requested by a third party. The individual has to request it directly from the issuing agency. We apostille the result; we cannot order it. See [FBI background check apostille](https://apostilles.us/fbi-background-check-apostille). - Internal corporate documents. A Certificate of Incumbency is prepared and signed by the company's own corporate secretary, not issued by a Secretary of State, so there is nothing to retrieve. One further limit worth planning around: for retrieval-only orders with no apostille processing attached, we ship to a domestic US address only. If you are abroad and want the certificate sent to you directly, order the retrieval together with the apostille, or have the certificate delivered to a US address you control. ## The shortcut most people should take If you can order the certificate yourself, do that, and have it shipped straight to us. VitalChek works with vital records offices across the country, and the instruction we give repeatedly is to have the new certified copy shipped directly to our office so processing begins the moment it lands rather than after a second international leg. If you are abroad, both options work: have VitalChek ship the certificate to you and upload a scan for true copy processing, or have VitalChek ship it directly to us. You pay only the state's own fee and skip ours. What you give up is having somebody else deal with the agency. If you would rather not deal with an agency in a state you no longer live in, our [document retrieval service](https://apostilles.us/document-retrieval) covers birth, death, and marriage certificates from all 50 states and Washington DC at $169 per certified copy, with all applicable state and government charges included, and an expedited option in select states. Apostille processing and shipping are separate line items. Retrieval turnaround is set by the issuing agency, it precedes apostille processing, and both are separate from shipping transit time. ## Six patterns that repeat A fresh county certificate for a deadline a few weeks out. When the county queue is measured in months with no expedite available, the record request alone kills the deadline. True copy processing from an existing scan is usually the only route that fits. Only the hospital's commemorative certificate in hand. The decorative certificate from the hospital is not a vital record and cannot anchor either pathway, so a certified copy has to be ordered, and in a slow jurisdiction that queue dominates everything else. We disclose the record clock as outside our control before the order, not after. A birth certificate that omits the parents. Foreign civil registries handling marriage or citizenship often need a long-form certificate showing both parents. An apostille cannot add data to a record, so the long form has to be ordered first, and ordering it yourself is often the faster move. A marriage certificate that does not exist yet. A couple flying home days after the ceremony still waits on the state: the certificate has to be issued by the health department before anything can be apostilled, and that issuance runs on the state's clock, not the ceremony's. No physical presence is required from the couple. A court-certified divorce decree. Court retrieval, not vital records. It cannot begin until the notarized authorization letter reaches us as a wet-signed original, and because we then hold the certified copy, the apostille runs on the original path. A driving record only the holder can request. State DMVs release driving records to the record holder, so we cannot pull one for you. Order it yourself, then we handle the notarization and apostille from your copy. ## Planning backwards from a deadline - Do you hold any image of the document? If yes, the record clock disappears. Upload it and choose an apostille tier. - If not, has your receiving authority actually demanded the apostille on an original certified document? Most have not. If it has, retrieval feeds the original path and you should add the issuing state's time from the table above. - Check which channel the issuing office is fastest through, and remember that expedited shipping is not expedited processing. - Add apostille processing, 1 to 6 business days on the state tiers depending on which one you buy, then courier transit. - If the total does not fit, the true copy route from any existing copy is usually the only thing that will.

Fastest is rarely through the state office. CDPH averages 4 to 6 weeks and says the county is often quicker, and any existing image of the certificate skips the record request altogether. Can someone get my birth certificate in Tennessee and send it to be apostilled? How do I get a certified copy of an Oklahoma birth certificate and have it apostilled while living in France?

The difference is the all-in price. Here is how the two compare as of June 2026. [Start Your Order](https://apostilles.us/submit) Industry's Fastest 24-hour turnaround [95%](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/apostilles.us) 5-star Trustpilot Official Apostille Hague compliant Factor Apostilles.us Apostille.net All-in price, one standard document $168 ($149 service + $19 government processing and handling) About $235 ($200 apostille incl. government and notary fees + $35 domestic return shipping) Original document required No. We work from your uploaded scan as a notarized true copy No. Digital copies only, the same model How you order Upload a scan online, nothing mailed in Submit a digital copy online Return shipping Quoted at checkout, no inbound shipping because you mail nothing About $35 domestic return shipping added Fastest processing As fast as 24 hours on Priority Express (state documents) Same-day processing claimed for orders placed before 1 PM Years in business Independent U.S. apostille service States 23 years in business Public reviews 5-star reviews on Trustpilot Mixed reviews on Trustpilot Last verified: June 2026 ## The Details, Sourced ### What Apostille.net charges Apostille.net lists a price of $200 per apostille that includes government and notary fees, with roughly $35 added for domestic return shipping, which puts a single standard document at about $235 all-in. Apostilles.us is $149 for the true copy service plus a $19 government processing and handling fee, $168 all-in, with no inbound shipping because you upload a scan rather than mailing anything. Source: apostille.net pricing ### The same no-originals model Apostille.net processes digital copies and does not require you to mail the original document, which is the same approach Apostilles.us uses. Both services produce a notarized copy that the competent authority apostilles, so your birth certificate, diploma, or FBI report stays with you. On this point the two services are genuinely alike; the comparison comes down to price and turnaround. Source: apostille.net FAQ ### Turnaround and track record Apostille.net advertises same-day processing for orders placed before 1 PM and states it has been in business for 23 years. Apostilles.us offers processing as fast as 24 hours on the Priority Express tier for state documents. If your deadline is measured in hours, both services are built for speed. [Source: apostille.net reviews on Trustpilot](https://www.trustpilot.com/review/apostille.net) ## Where Apostille.net Is a Good Fit Apostille.net has a long track record (it states 23 years in business) and advertises same-day processing for early orders. If you need an apostille at extreme speed and value a provider with a long history, it is a legitimate choice. Apostilles.us offers the same no-originals convenience and 24-hour state processing at a lower all-in price ($168 vs about $235), which is the main reason customers compare the two. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

A mail-in service that requires you to send the original carries that risk by design. This is the core structural difference between the two approaches.

National Apostille Inc may work fine for some customers, and ratings change over time, so check the current figures at the source links. The structural point stands regardless of any single review: a service that requires you to mail your original document carries a mail-loss risk that a true copy process does not. ## Never mail your original documents We process apostilles from a notarized true copy of your uploaded scan.

Entrega nacional e internacional Problemas comunes ## Problemas comunes con las apostillas de Acta de nacimiento ### Las copias informativas no se aceptan Muchas personas, sin saberlo, solicitan copias informativas de su acta de nacimiento, que están claramente marcadas como 'no es un documento válido para fines de identificación' o con frases similares. Estas no pueden apostillarse. Necesita una copia certificada emitida por la oficina del registro civil del estado donde ocurrió el nacimiento. ### Falta la firma o el sello del registrador Un acta de nacimiento debe llevar la firma original del registrador o registrador adjunto y un sello oficial (en relieve, gofrado o estampado). Las copias que carecen de estos elementos, como fotocopias o versiones impresas en casa, serán rechazadas por la Secretaría de Estado. ### Registros desactualizados y variaciones de formato Las actas de nacimiento emitidas hace décadas pueden usar formatos que las oficinas actuales de la Secretaría de Estado no reconocen o pueden tener firmas decoloradas. Algunos estados han cambiado sus sistemas de registro civil, y los certificados más antiguos pueden necesitar volver a emitirse en el formato actual antes de poder adjuntar una apostilla. ### Diferencias de formato según el estado Cada estado emite las actas de nacimiento en su propio formato. Algunos estados las emiten a nivel de condado, otros solo a nivel estatal. La apostilla debe provenir del estado donde se emitió el acta, no del estado donde usted reside actualmente, lo cual toma por sorpresa a muchos solicitantes. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube.

Los registros vitales emitidos por el gobierno (certificados de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio, certificados de defunción) por lo general no requieren notarización adicional antes de la apostilla. Los documentos privados, como los poderes notariales, los certificados de estudios y las declaraciones juradas personales, sí deben notarizarse primero, porque la apostilla se emite sobre la certificación del notario y no sobre el documento en sí.

[Consulte la guía específica por país →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) ¿La emitirá el mismo estado que emitió mi acta de nacimiento? No necesariamente. Con nuestro proceso digital, la apostilla la emite un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. donde nuestro notario con licencia tiene su comisión, que puede ser un estado distinto del que emitió originalmente su acta de nacimiento. La apostilla cumple plenamente con la Convención de La Haya y la aceptan las autoridades receptoras en más de 120 países, sin importar qué estado la emitió.

Solo una copia certificada emitida directamente por la oficina del registro civil estatal o del condado puede recibir una apostilla. El acta debe tener la firma del registrador y un sello oficial. Los certificados conmemorativos emitidos por el hospital, las fotocopias y las copias informativas no pueden apostillarse. Si no está seguro de si su copia cumple los requisitos, puede enviarla para nuestra revisión gratuita de documentos. ¿Cuánto tarda obtener la apostilla de un acta de nacimiento? Los tiempos de procesamiento varían según el estado emisor y la temporada. Algunos estados emiten la apostilla en pocos días hábiles, mientras que otros tardan varias semanas en periodos de mayor demanda. Le orientamos sobre un plazo realista para su estado específico durante la revisión del documento, y hay opciones aceleradas disponibles donde el estado las ofrece. ¿Puedo apostillar un acta de nacimiento de cualquier estado de EE. UU.? Sí. Tramitamos apostillas de actas de nacimiento de los 50 estados, el Distrito de Columbia y los territorios de EE. UU. La apostilla debe obtenerse de la Secretaría de Estado (u oficina equivalente) del estado que emitió el acta de nacimiento, sin importar dónde viva usted actualmente. ¿Necesito una traducción junto con la apostilla de mi acta de nacimiento? La apostilla en sí está diseñada para ser reconocida sin traducción, ya que sigue un formato estandarizado tanto en inglés como en francés. Sin embargo, el acta de nacimiento subyacente puede necesitar traducirse al idioma del país de destino. Los requisitos de traducción varían; podemos orientarle según su país de destino específico. ¿Qué pasa si mi acta de nacimiento tiene un nombre diferente al de mi pasaporte? Las discrepancias de nombre entre el acta de nacimiento y el pasaporte son comunes, sobre todo después de un matrimonio o un cambio legal de nombre. Algunos países de destino exigen que los nombres coincidan exactamente. En estos casos, es posible que también necesite apostillar un acta de matrimonio, una orden judicial de cambio de nombre u otra documentación de respaldo para establecer la conexión entre los nombres.

Entrega nacional e internacional Problemas comunes ## Problemas comunes con las apostillas de Acta de matrimonio ### Emisión a nivel de condado frente a nivel estatal En muchos estados, las actas de matrimonio son emitidas por el secretario del condado donde se celebró el matrimonio, no por el estado. Esto significa que la apostilla debe ser emitida por la Secretaría de Estado de ese estado, y la firma del secretario del condado debe estar registrada ante la Secretaría de Estado. Si la firma del secretario del condado no está registrada, primero puede requerirse una autenticación adicional del condado. ### Discrepancias de nombre entre documentos Si hubo un cambio de nombre al casarse y su pasaporte todavía refleja su nombre de soltera (o viceversa), las autoridades del país de destino pueden cuestionar el documento. Algunos países exigen tanto la apostilla del acta de matrimonio como un documento apostillado por separado que establezca la conexión de nombres. Señalamos estos problemas durante nuestra revisión. ### Certificados decorativos o conmemorativos Muchas parejas reciben un certificado de matrimonio decorativo en su ceremonia, a menudo con bordes ornamentados, caligrafía o imágenes religiosas. Estos son recuerdos, no documentos legales, y no pueden apostillarse. Necesita una copia certificada oficial del secretario del condado o de la oficina estatal del registro civil. ### Copias certificadas desactualizadas Algunos países de destino exigen que la copia certificada de su acta de matrimonio sea de emisión reciente, incluso si el matrimonio se celebró hace años. Si su copia certificada tiene más de un año, es posible que recomendemos solicitar una copia nueva antes de tramitar la apostilla. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube.

Más de 120 países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya aceptan apostillas. Esto incluye la mayor parte de Europa, Sudamérica y muchos países de Asia y África. Si su país de destino no es miembro de la Convención de La Haya, es posible que necesite una legalización consular en lugar de una apostilla. [Consulte la guía específica por país →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) ¿La emitirá el mismo estado que emitió mi acta de matrimonio? No necesariamente. Con nuestro proceso digital, la apostilla la emite un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. donde nuestro notario con licencia tiene su comisión, que puede ser un estado distinto del que emitió originalmente su acta de matrimonio. La apostilla cumple plenamente con la Convención de La Haya y la aceptan las autoridades receptoras en más de 120 países, sin importar qué estado la emitió. Si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su acta de matrimonio, tendría que usar nuestro [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission), que tramita su original físico a través del estado emisor. ¿Debo apostillar mi acta de matrimonio del condado o mi acta de matrimonio del estado? Depende de su estado. En algunos estados puede apostillar cualquiera de las dos versiones, pero el acta emitida por el condado es más común porque es allí donde se registran los matrimonios. La apostilla siempre proviene de la Secretaría de Estado del estado donde se celebró el matrimonio. Durante nuestra revisión confirmaremos qué versión tiene y si cumple los requisitos. ¿Puedo usar un acta de matrimonio apostillada para una solicitud de visa de cónyuge? Sí. Un acta de matrimonio apostillada suele ser obligatoria para visas de cónyuge y peticiones de inmigración en los países de la Convención de La Haya. La apostilla confirma la autenticidad del documento. Algunos países pueden exigir, además, una traducción certificada del acta a su idioma oficial. ¿Qué pasa si nos casamos en un estado pero vivimos en otro? La apostilla debe obtenerse del estado donde se celebró el matrimonio, no donde usted reside actualmente. Por ejemplo, si se casó en Nevada pero vive en Florida, la apostilla proviene de la Secretaría de Estado de Nevada. Tramitamos el procesamiento en los 50 estados. ¿Cómo apostillo un acta de matrimonio si el nombre de mi cónyuge se escribe de forma diferente en su país? Las diferencias de transliteración de nombres son comunes, sobre todo con alfabetos no latinos. La apostilla autentica el documento tal como está. Las autoridades del país de destino normalmente se encargan de la coincidencia de nombres por su cuenta. Sin embargo, si el país de destino exige una coincidencia exacta, es posible que necesite una declaración jurada u orden judicial que vincule los nombres, lo cual también puede apostillarse. ¿Necesito apostillar tanto la licencia de matrimonio como el acta de matrimonio? En la mayoría de los casos, solo es necesario apostillar el acta de matrimonio (que confirma que el matrimonio se celebró y se registró). La licencia de matrimonio (que autorizó la celebración del matrimonio) normalmente no es requerida por las autoridades extranjeras. Sin embargo, algunos países solicitan ambas; podemos orientarle según su país de destino.

Hay entrega nacional e internacional disponible. Entrega nacional e internacional Problemas comunes ## Problemas comunes con las apostillas de Acta de defunción ### Los documentos de la funeraria no se aceptan Las funerarias suelen proporcionar a las familias documentos que se parecen a un acta de defunción pero que no son una copia certificada oficial de la oficina estatal o del condado del registro civil. Estos documentos carecen de la firma y el sello del registrador requeridos para la apostilla. Debe obtener una copia certificada de la oficina del registro civil del estado donde ocurrió el fallecimiento. ### Falta la información del registrador Algunas actas de defunción más antiguas o las de ciertas jurisdicciones pueden carecer del nombre impreso, la firma o el sello del registrador. Sin estos elementos, la Secretaría de Estado no puede autenticar el documento. Será necesario solicitar una copia certificada de reemplazo con la información completa del registrador. ### Copias certificadas desactualizadas Los tribunales sucesorios y las agencias gubernamentales de algunos países exigen que las actas de defunción se hayan emitido dentro de un plazo específico, a menudo dentro de los últimos 6 a 12 meses. Aunque el fallecimiento haya ocurrido hace años, es posible que necesite solicitar una copia certificada nueva antes de obtener la apostilla. ### Se necesitan varias copias certificadas La liquidación de una sucesión a menudo involucra a varias instituciones (bancos, registros de propiedad, fondos de pensiones) en el país extranjero, cada una de las cuales requiere un acta de defunción apostillada original. Recomendamos solicitar varias copias certificadas desde el principio para evitar demoras repetidas en el procesamiento. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube. Su acta de nacimiento, su diploma o su informe del FBI nunca sale de sus manos, así que jamás puede perderse en el correo. [Cómo funciona el trámite con copia fiel certificada](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) Preguntas frecuentes ## Preguntas frecuentes ¿Qué es una apostilla? Una apostilla es un certificado emitido por una autoridad estadounidense designada (un Secretario de Estado) que autentica un documento de EE. UU. para su uso en países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya. ¿Necesito enviar mi acta de defunción original? En la mayoría de los casos, no. Suba un escaneo a color nítido de su acta de defunción a través de nuestro portal seguro. Nuestro notario con licencia certifica que la copia impresa es una reproducción fiel y exacta del original, y un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. Su acta de defunción original nunca tiene que salir de su poder. El documento apostillado resultante se reconoce en los países de la Convención de La Haya para casi todos los casos de uso comunes (doble ciudadanía, matrimonio en el extranjero, solicitudes de visa, inscripción escolar, transacciones de propiedades en el extranjero y más). La única vez que tendría que enviar el original físico por correo es si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente el documento original, o exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su acta de defunción. Si ese es su caso, ofrecemos un [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission) y le guiaremos a través de él. [Más información sobre nuestro proceso digital →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) ¿Cómo pueden tramitar una apostilla con solo un escaneo digital? Nuestro proceso usa un notario con licencia en EE. UU. que certifica que una copia impresa hecha a partir de su escaneo es una reproducción fiel y exacta del documento original. Luego, un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. La apostilla autentica el sello y la firma del notario, que es exactamente lo que reconoce la Convención de La Haya. Como trabajamos a partir de un escaneo, su original nunca tiene que salir de su poder, el procesamiento es mucho más rápido que enviar documentos físicos de ida y vuelta, y no hay riesgo de que su original se pierda o se dañe en el envío. ¿Mi acta de defunción necesita notarización antes de la apostilla? Los registros vitales emitidos por el gobierno (certificados de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio, certificados de defunción) por lo general no requieren notarización adicional antes de la apostilla.

Sí. No hay límite de tiempo respecto a cuándo se puede apostillar un acta de defunción. Sin embargo, la copia certificada en sí puede necesitar ser de emisión reciente según los requisitos del país de destino. Puede solicitar una nueva copia certificada a la oficina del registro civil del estado donde ocurrió el fallecimiento, incluso décadas después. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre un acta de defunción de la funeraria y una del registro civil? La funeraria puede proporcionar un documento preliminar o informativo, pero solo la copia certificada emitida por la oficina estatal o del condado del registro civil lleva la firma y el sello del registrador requeridos para una apostilla. Use siempre la versión del registro civil. ¿Cuántas copias apostilladas de un acta de defunción debo solicitar? Recomendamos al menos 2 o 3 copias certificadas apostilladas si está gestionando asuntos sucesorios en el extranjero. Los bancos, los registros de propiedad, los fondos de pensiones y los tribunales pueden requerir cada uno un original. Tener varias copias evita semanas de demora si una institución retiene el documento. ¿Puedo apostillar un acta de defunción de alguien que no era ciudadano de EE. UU.? Sí, siempre y cuando el fallecimiento haya ocurrido en Estados Unidos y el acta de defunción haya sido emitida por un estado o territorio de EE. UU. La ciudadanía del fallecido no afecta el proceso de apostilla; lo que importa es que el documento haya sido emitido por una autoridad de EE. UU. ¿Un acta de defunción apostillada es suficiente para reclamar una herencia en el extranjero? Un acta de defunción apostillada suele ser uno de varios documentos necesarios para los reclamos de herencia internacionales. Es posible que también necesite copias apostilladas de un testamento, cartas testamentarias, órdenes judiciales o actas de nacimiento o matrimonio que comprueben su relación con el fallecido. Podemos ayudarle a identificar y tramitar todos los documentos que necesite.

Debe solicitar una copia certificada al juzgado, que incluirá la firma y el sello del secretario. ### Falta el sello del tribunal La copia certificada debe llevar el sello oficial del tribunal (en relieve, gofrado o estampado). Algunos tribunales emiten copias certificadas solo con un estampado y una firma, pero sin sello en relieve. Si la Secretaría de Estado exige un sello en relieve, el documento será rechazado. Verificamos esto durante nuestra revisión. ### Confusión entre sentencia y certificado de divorcio Algunos estados emiten tanto una sentencia de divorcio (la orden judicial que disuelve el matrimonio) como un certificado de divorcio (un documento resumen del registro civil). Son documentos diferentes. Algunos países de destino aceptan cualquiera de los dos; otros exigen específicamente uno u otro. Presentar el incorrecto puede retrasar su proceso por semanas. ### Órdenes interlocutorias o provisionales Algunos divorcios involucran órdenes intermedias antes de que se dicte la sentencia final. Solo la sentencia final o el fallo final de divorcio puede apostillarse para uso en el extranjero. Si presenta una orden provisional o interlocutoria, será rechazada por el país de destino incluso si se apostilla con éxito. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube.

En la mayoría de los países de la Convención de La Haya, sí. Los registros civiles extranjeros exigen prueba de que cualquier matrimonio anterior fue disuelto legalmente antes de registrar un nuevo matrimonio. Una sentencia de divorcio apostillada (o un certificado de divorcio apostillado, según el país) sirve como esa prueba. Mi divorcio se finalizó hace 15 años. ¿Todavía puedo apostillarlo? Por supuesto. No hay vencimiento respecto a cuándo se puede apostillar una sentencia de divorcio. Necesitará una copia certificada del tribunal que concedió el divorcio; comuníquese con el secretario del tribunal del condado donde se finalizó el divorcio. Aunque el tribunal haya archivado el expediente, puede emitir una nueva copia certificada. ¿Qué pasa si mi divorcio se concedió en un estado diferente al que vivo ahora? La apostilla debe provenir del estado donde se concedió el divorcio, no de su estado de residencia actual. Por ejemplo, si su divorcio se finalizó en Illinois pero ahora vive en Georgia, la apostilla debe ser emitida por la Secretaría de Estado de Illinois. Tramitamos apostillas de los 50 estados. ¿Debo apostillar la sentencia de divorcio o el certificado de divorcio? Esto depende de lo que exija su país de destino. La sentencia de divorcio es la orden judicial en sí, mientras que el certificado de divorcio es un documento resumen emitido por la oficina del registro civil del estado. Muchos países prefieren la sentencia. Podemos orientarle según su país de destino específico durante nuestra revisión de documentos. ¿Pueden ambas partes usar la misma sentencia de divorcio apostillada? Técnicamente, la sentencia apostillada cubre el caso de divorcio en sí, no a una parte específica. Sin embargo, en la práctica, cada parte debe tener su propia copia certificada apostillada porque las instituciones extranjeras normalmente retienen el original. Recomendamos que cada parte solicite y apostille su propia copia certificada.

Hay entrega nacional e internacional disponible. Entrega nacional e internacional Problemas comunes ## Problemas comunes con las apostillas de Diploma y certificado de calificaciones ### La notarización es obligatoria en muchos estados A diferencia de los registros vitales (actas de nacimiento, defunción y matrimonio), los diplomas y certificados de calificaciones no son emitidos por una oficina gubernamental. En la mayoría de los estados, la Secretaría de Estado solo puede apostillar un documento que lleve una firma que tengan registrada. Como las firmas de los funcionarios escolares normalmente no están registradas, el documento debe ser notarizado primero por un notario público comisionado en ese estado, y la firma del notario es la que se apostilla. ### Diplomas digitales y certificados de calificaciones electrónicos Muchas universidades ahora emiten diplomas y certificados de calificaciones de forma electrónica o a través de plataformas digitales. Estas versiones digitales no pueden apostillarse. Tendrá que solicitar una reimpresión física del diploma o un certificado de calificaciones oficial en papel a su institución. Algunas instituciones cobran una tarifa y requieren varias semanas para las reimpresiones. ### Puede requerirse una carta de acreditación Algunos países de destino exigen no solo el diploma apostillado, sino también una carta por separado que confirme la acreditación de la institución. Esta carta normalmente debe ser emitida por la institución o por un organismo de acreditación reconocido y luego notarizada y apostillada por separado. ### El sello de la institución por sí solo puede no ser suficiente Tener el sello gofrado de su escuela en el diploma no significa automáticamente que el documento pueda apostillarse. En los estados donde se requiere la notarización, el sello escolar es irrelevante para el proceso de apostilla; lo que la Secretaría de Estado autentica es la comisión y la firma del notario. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube. Su acta de nacimiento, su diploma o su informe del FBI nunca sale de sus manos, así que jamás puede perderse en el correo. [Cómo funciona el trámite con copia fiel certificada](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) Preguntas frecuentes ## Preguntas frecuentes ¿Qué es una apostilla? Una apostilla es un certificado emitido por una autoridad estadounidense designada (un Secretario de Estado) que autentica un documento de EE. UU. para su uso en países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya. ¿Necesito enviar mi diploma y certificado de calificaciones original? En la mayoría de los casos, no. Suba un escaneo a color nítido de su diploma y certificado de calificaciones a través de nuestro portal seguro. Nuestro notario con licencia certifica que la copia impresa es una reproducción fiel y exacta del original, y un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. Su diploma y certificado de calificaciones original nunca tiene que salir de su poder. El documento apostillado resultante se reconoce en los países de la Convención de La Haya para casi todos los casos de uso comunes (doble ciudadanía, matrimonio en el extranjero, solicitudes de visa, inscripción escolar, transacciones de propiedades en el extranjero y más). La única vez que tendría que enviar el original físico por correo es si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente el documento original, o exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su diploma y certificado de calificaciones. Si ese es su caso, ofrecemos un [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission) y le guiaremos a través de él. [Más información sobre nuestro proceso digital →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) ¿Cómo pueden tramitar una apostilla con solo un escaneo digital? Nuestro proceso usa un notario con licencia en EE. UU. que certifica que una copia impresa hecha a partir de su escaneo es una reproducción fiel y exacta del documento original. Luego, un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. La apostilla autentica el sello y la firma del notario, que es exactamente lo que reconoce la Convención de La Haya. Como trabajamos a partir de un escaneo, su original nunca tiene que salir de su poder, el procesamiento es mucho más rápido que enviar documentos físicos de ida y vuelta, y no hay riesgo de que su original se pierda o se dañe en el envío. ¿Mi diploma y certificado de calificaciones necesita notarización antes de la apostilla? Los registros vitales emitidos por el gobierno (certificados de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio, certificados de defunción) por lo general no requieren notarización adicional antes de la apostilla. Los documentos privados, como los poderes notariales, los certificados de estudios y las declaraciones juradas personales, sí deben notarizarse primero, porque la apostilla se emite sobre la certificación del notario y no sobre el documento en sí. Si su diploma y certificado de calificaciones necesita notarización, podemos encargarnos de ello como parte de su pedido mediante nuestro [servicio adicional de notario en línea](https://apostilles.us/es/remote-notary). ¿Cuánto tiempo tarda en apostillarse un diploma y certificado de calificaciones?

[Ver todos los detalles de precios y servicios adicionales →](https://apostilles.us/es/pricing) ¿Qué países aceptan apostillas? Más de 120 países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya aceptan apostillas. Esto incluye la mayor parte de Europa, Sudamérica y muchos países de Asia y África. Si su país de destino no es miembro de la Convención de La Haya, es posible que necesite una legalización consular en lugar de una apostilla. [Consulte la guía específica por país →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) ¿La emitirá el mismo estado que emitió mi diploma y certificado de calificaciones? No necesariamente. Con nuestro proceso digital, la apostilla la emite un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. donde nuestro notario con licencia tiene su comisión, que puede ser un estado distinto del que emitió originalmente su diploma y certificado de calificaciones. La apostilla cumple plenamente con la Convención de La Haya y la aceptan las autoridades receptoras en más de 120 países, sin importar qué estado la emitió. Si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su diploma y certificado de calificaciones, tendría que usar nuestro [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission), que tramita su original físico a través del estado emisor. ¿Mi diploma debe notarizarse antes de obtener una apostilla? En la mayoría de los estados, sí. Como los diplomas son emitidos por instituciones educativas privadas o públicas (no por oficinas gubernamentales), la Secretaría de Estado normalmente no tiene registrada la firma del funcionario escolar. Un notario público debe notarizar primero el diploma, y luego la apostilla autentica la firma del notario. Confirmaremos los requisitos exactos de su estado. ¿Puedo apostillar un certificado de calificaciones que me enviaron directamente en un sobre sellado? Sí, siempre que sea un certificado de calificaciones oficial que lleve la firma del registrador y el sello institucional. El sobre sellado es una medida de integridad para la institución receptora, pero el proceso de apostilla requiere que el documento en sí esté accesible para la notarización y la autenticación. Abrir el sobre sellado es necesario y no invalida el certificado de calificaciones para fines de apostilla. Me gradué de una universidad en línea. ¿Se puede apostillar mi diploma? Si su universidad en línea está acreditada y emite diplomas físicos con firmas autorizadas, sí. El factor clave es la acreditación estatal y que el documento físico tenga las firmas correspondientes. Las fábricas de diplomas o las instituciones no acreditadas pueden producir documentos que algunos países de destino no aceptarán, sin importar la apostilla. ¿Necesito apostillar tanto mi diploma como mi certificado de calificaciones, o solo uno? Esto depende por completo de lo que exija el país o la institución de destino. Algunas universidades extranjeras aceptan solo un certificado de calificaciones apostillado para la admisión. Otras exigen que tanto el diploma como el certificado de calificaciones se apostillen. Las juntas de licencias profesionales en el extranjero a menudo exigen ambos. Consulte con la institución receptora o permítanos orientarle durante la revisión. Mi diploma de secundaria no tiene firma. ¿Qué hago? Algunos diplomas de secundaria se imprimen en serie sin firmas individuales. En este caso, tendría que (1) comunicarse con el distrito escolar para obtener una copia firmada o una carta oficial que confirme su graduación, o (2) notarizar el diploma con una declaración jurada que lo acompañe. Podemos guiarle sobre el mejor enfoque para su situación.

Una copia certificada debe incluir una página de certificación por separado (o un estampado) del secretario del tribunal que confirme que el documento es una copia fiel y completa del original en el expediente. Sin esta certificación, la Secretaría de Estado no puede apostillar el documento. ### Sello del tribunal faltante o ilegible La certificación del secretario debe incluir el sello oficial del tribunal. Los documentos más antiguos pueden tener sellos gofrados decolorados que ya no son legibles. Si la Secretaría de Estado no puede verificar el sello, el documento será devuelto. Es posible que necesite obtener una copia certificada nueva de la oficina del secretario. ### Requisitos de certificación específicos del estado Diferentes estados tienen diferentes requisitos sobre lo que constituye un documento judicial debidamente certificado. Algunos estados exigen que la firma del secretario esté registrada ante la Secretaría de Estado. Otros requieren una autenticación intermedia del secretario del condado antes de que el estado pueda apostillar. Conocemos los requisitos de cada estado. ### Órdenes provisionales frente a finales Las órdenes de restricción temporales, los arreglos de custodia provisionales y las órdenes pendente lite no son fallos finales. Si bien técnicamente pueden apostillarse, muchas autoridades extranjeras solo aceptarán órdenes finales. Asegúrese de presentar la versión correcta del fallo del tribunal. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube.

Prácticamente cualquier orden judicial emitida por un tribunal estatal de EE. UU. puede apostillarse, incluidas las órdenes de custodia, las sentencias de adopción, los fallos de divorcio, las órdenes de cambio de nombre, las órdenes de tutela, las órdenes de restricción, las órdenes sucesorias y los fallos civiles. El requisito clave es que la orden debe estar certificada por el secretario con el sello del tribunal. ¿Cómo obtengo una copia certificada de una orden judicial? Comuníquese con el secretario del tribunal que emitió la orden. Necesitará el número de caso y los nombres de las partes. La oficina del secretario producirá una copia certificada con su firma y el sello oficial del tribunal. Las tarifas y los tiempos de procesamiento varían según el tribunal. Algunos tribunales permiten solicitudes por correo; otros exigen el retiro en persona. ¿Se puede apostillar una orden de un tribunal federal? Las órdenes de tribunales federales siguen un proceso diferente. No pueden ser apostilladas por una Secretaría de Estado estatal. En cambio, los documentos de tribunales federales deben ser autenticados por el secretario del tribunal federal y luego autenticados por el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. en Washington, D. C. También podemos encargarnos de la autenticación federal. Necesito ejecutar una orden de custodia de EE. UU. en otro país. ¿Es suficiente una apostilla? Una apostilla autentica el documento pero no garantiza su ejecución. La ejecución de custodia internacional depende de tratados (como la Convención de La Haya sobre los Aspectos Civiles de la Sustracción Internacional de Menores) y de las leyes del país de destino. La apostilla es un primer paso necesario; probablemente también necesite asesoría legal en el país de destino. ¿Qué tan reciente debe ser la copia certificada? Para fines de apostilla, no hay vencimiento de las copias certificadas. Sin embargo, algunos países de destino exigen que la certificación sea reciente (dentro de 3 a 12 meses). Si no está seguro, recomendamos obtener una copia certificada nueva para evitar cualquier problema con la autoridad receptora.

Hay entrega nacional e internacional disponible. Entrega nacional e internacional Problemas comunes ## Problemas comunes con las apostillas de Documento corporativo ### Las impresiones web y los registros electrónicos pueden ser rechazados Muchos estados ahora ofrecen acceso en línea a los registros corporativos, y las empresas a menudo los imprimen directamente desde el sitio web de la Secretaría de Estado. Sin embargo, las impresiones web normalmente carecen de la certificación, la firma y el sello oficiales necesarios para una apostilla. Necesita solicitar una copia certificada a la oficina de la Secretaría de Estado, lo que a menudo implica una solicitud y una tarifa por separado. ### Requisito de firma a mano Varios estados exigen que los documentos corporativos presentados para apostilla lleven una firma a mano (con tinta húmeda) de la Secretaría de Estado u otro funcionario. Las versiones autofirmadas, estampadas o firmadas electrónicamente pueden ser rechazadas. Al solicitar copias certificadas, especifique que necesita una versión firmada a mano para fines de apostilla. ### Certificado por la Secretaría de Estado frente a notarizado: vías diferentes Los documentos presentados ante la Secretaría de Estado y certificados por ella (como las actas constitutivas o los certificados de buena reputación) siguen una vía de apostilla directa. Los documentos que no se presentan ante el estado (como las resoluciones corporativas o los estatutos) normalmente deben notarizarse primero, y la apostilla autentica entonces la firma del notario. Usar la vía incorrecta causa demoras. ### Vencimiento del certificado de buena reputación Los certificados de buena reputación son sensibles al tiempo. Muchos países de destino exigen que se emitan dentro de los 30 a 90 días previos a la presentación. Si su certificado es más antiguo, las autoridades extranjeras pueden rechazarlo incluso con una apostilla válida. Solicítelos lo más cerca posible de su fecha de presentación. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube.

[Cómo funciona el trámite con copia fiel certificada](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) Preguntas frecuentes ## Preguntas frecuentes ¿Qué es una apostilla? Una apostilla es un certificado emitido por una autoridad estadounidense designada (un Secretario de Estado) que autentica un documento de EE. UU. para su uso en países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya. ¿Necesito enviar mi documento corporativo original? En la mayoría de los casos, no. Suba un escaneo a color nítido de su documento corporativo a través de nuestro portal seguro. Nuestro notario con licencia certifica que la copia impresa es una reproducción fiel y exacta del original, y un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. Su documento corporativo original nunca tiene que salir de su poder. El documento apostillado resultante se reconoce en los países de la Convención de La Haya para casi todos los casos de uso comunes (doble ciudadanía, matrimonio en el extranjero, solicitudes de visa, inscripción escolar, transacciones de propiedades en el extranjero y más). La única vez que tendría que enviar el original físico por correo es si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente el documento original, o exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su documento corporativo. Si ese es su caso, ofrecemos un [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission) y le guiaremos a través de él. [Más información sobre nuestro proceso digital →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) ¿Cómo pueden tramitar una apostilla con solo un escaneo digital? Nuestro proceso usa un notario con licencia en EE. UU. que certifica que una copia impresa hecha a partir de su escaneo es una reproducción fiel y exacta del documento original. Luego, un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. La apostilla autentica el sello y la firma del notario, que es exactamente lo que reconoce la Convención de La Haya. Como trabajamos a partir de un escaneo, su original nunca tiene que salir de su poder, el procesamiento es mucho más rápido que enviar documentos físicos de ida y vuelta, y no hay riesgo de que su original se pierda o se dañe en el envío. ¿Mi documento corporativo necesita notarización antes de la apostilla? Los registros vitales emitidos por el gobierno (certificados de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio, certificados de defunción) por lo general no requieren notarización adicional antes de la apostilla. Los documentos privados, como los poderes notariales, los certificados de estudios y las declaraciones juradas personales, sí deben notarizarse primero, porque la apostilla se emite sobre la certificación del notario y no sobre el documento en sí. Si su documento corporativo necesita notarización, podemos encargarnos de ello como parte de su pedido mediante nuestro [servicio adicional de notario en línea](https://apostilles.us/es/remote-notary). ¿Cuánto tiempo tarda en apostillarse un documento corporativo? Nuestro proceso digital completa los pedidos Económicos en 4 a 6 días hábiles, los Estándar en 2 a 3 días hábiles y los Exprés en 1 día hábil. El tiempo de envío es independiente del tiempo de procesamiento. [Ver los detalles completos de los tiempos de procesamiento →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) ¿Cuánto cuesta una apostilla? El precio depende del nivel de procesamiento que elija. El nivel Económico comienza en $149 por documento, el Estándar en $197 y el Exprés (1 día hábil) en $249. Todos los niveles incluyen revisión del documento, copia fiel notariada, apostilla estatal y envío nacional con seguimiento. [Ver todos los detalles de precios y servicios adicionales →](https://apostilles.us/es/pricing) ¿Qué países aceptan apostillas? Más de 120 países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya aceptan apostillas. Esto incluye la mayor parte de Europa, Sudamérica y muchos países de Asia y África. Si su país de destino no es miembro de la Convención de La Haya, es posible que necesite una legalización consular en lugar de una apostilla. [Consulte la guía específica por país →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) ¿La emitirá el mismo estado que emitió mi documento corporativo? No necesariamente. Con nuestro proceso digital, la apostilla la emite un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. donde nuestro notario con licencia tiene su comisión, que puede ser un estado distinto del que emitió originalmente su documento corporativo. La apostilla cumple plenamente con la Convención de La Haya y la aceptan las autoridades receptoras en más de 120 países, sin importar qué estado la emitió. Si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su documento corporativo, tendría que usar nuestro [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission), que tramita su original físico a través del estado emisor. ¿Qué documentos corporativos se pueden apostillar? Los documentos corporativos comunes para apostilla incluyen: actas constitutivas, certificados de buena reputación (también llamados certificados de existencia o de estatus), resoluciones corporativas, estatutos, certificados de vigencia de cargos, informes anuales, documentos de fusión y poderes notariales para representantes corporativos. El proceso depende de si el documento se presentó ante el estado o se otorgó de forma privada. ¿Necesito notarizar mi resolución corporativa antes de la apostilla? Sí. Las resoluciones corporativas son documentos internos de la empresa, no presentados ante el estado. Como la Secretaría de Estado no tiene registrada la firma del firmante, la resolución debe ser notarizada por un notario público comisionado. La apostilla autentica entonces la firma del notario. Lo mismo aplica a los estatutos, las actas de junta directiva y documentos internos similares. ¿Por cuánto tiempo es válido un certificado de buena reputación apostillado? La apostilla en sí no vence. Sin embargo, el certificado de buena reputación es una instantánea del estatus de la empresa en un momento determinado. La mayoría de las jurisdicciones extranjeras exigen que el certificado sea de emisión reciente, normalmente dentro de 30 a 90 días. Recomendamos solicitar el certificado lo más cerca posible de su fecha límite. ¿Puedo apostillar documentos de una LLC, sociedad o entidad sin fines de lucro? Sí. El proceso de apostilla aplica a todos los tipos de entidades comerciales registradas en un estado de EE. UU., incluidas las LLC, las corporaciones, las sociedades, las empresas unipersonales (con registros estatales) y las organizaciones sin fines de lucro. Los documentos específicos disponibles para apostilla pueden variar según el tipo de entidad. Necesito registrar mi empresa de EE. UU. en un país extranjero. ¿Qué documentos necesitaré apostillar? Los requisitos varían según el país, pero las solicitudes comunes incluyen: actas constitutivas certificadas, un certificado de buena reputación, una resolución corporativa que autorice el registro en el extranjero, un poder notarial para el representante local y, a veces, los estatutos o acuerdos operativos. Podemos ayudarle a reunir y tramitar el paquete completo.

Entrega nacional e internacional Problemas comunes ## Problemas comunes con las apostillas de Poder notarial ### Debe estar notarizado correctamente primero Un poder notarial no puede apostillarse a menos que haya sido notarizado por un notario público comisionado. La firma del notario es lo que la Secretaría de Estado autentica con la apostilla. Si el poder notarial no está notarizado, o si la notarización es defectuosa (falta el sello, comisión vencida, estado incorrecto), la apostilla será rechazada. ### El formato varía según el país de destino Diferentes países tienen requisitos muy específicos para el formato, el idioma y el contenido del poder notarial. Algunos países (en particular en América Latina y el sur de Europa) exigen que el poder notarial siga su propia plantilla legal, que se otorgue de una manera específica o que incluya cláusulas particulares. Usar una plantilla genérica de poder notarial de EE. UU. puede hacer que la autoridad extranjera rechace el documento incluso con una apostilla válida. ### Distinciones entre poder notarial limitado y general Un poder notarial general otorga una autoridad amplia, mientras que un poder notarial limitado (o especial) restringe la autoridad a acciones específicas. Muchos países extranjeros tienen reglas estrictas sobre qué tipo se requiere para transacciones específicas. Presentar el tipo incorrecto puede significar que el agente autorizado no pueda completar la transacción prevista en el extranjero. ### El estado del notario debe coincidir con el estado de la apostilla La apostilla debe provenir del estado donde el notario público está comisionado, no del estado donde reside el otorgante ni del estado donde se usará el poder notarial a nivel nacional. Si un poder notarial es notarizado por un notario de Virginia, la apostilla debe provenir de la Secretaría de Estado de Virginia, aunque usted viva en Maryland. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube.

Sí, no hay límite de tiempo entre la notarización y la apostilla. Sin embargo, algunos países de destino exigen que el poder notarial se haya otorgado recientemente (dentro de los últimos 6 a 12 meses). La apostilla puede obtenerse en cualquier momento después de la notarización, pero consulte con la autoridad receptora sobre sus requisitos de vigencia para el poder notarial en sí. ¿El poder notarial debe estar en el idioma del país de destino? Los requisitos varían. Algunos países aceptan un poder notarial en inglés con una apostilla y luego exigen una traducción certificada local. Otros exigen que el poder notarial se otorgue en su idioma oficial desde el inicio, o que sea bilingüe. Países como España, México y Brasil suelen tener requisitos específicos de idioma y formato. Podemos orientarle según su país de destino. ¿Puedo usar un notario en línea (RON) para un poder notarial que se apostillará? La Notarización Remota en Línea (RON, por sus siglas en inglés) se acepta para apostilla en algunos estados, pero no en otros. Además, muchos países de destino no reconocen los documentos notarizados mediante RON. Si su poder notarial se usará internacionalmente, por lo general recomendamos la notarización tradicional en persona para evitar complicaciones. Consúltenos sobre su estado y país de destino específicos. Necesito que alguien en otro país venda mi propiedad en EE. UU. ¿Necesito una apostilla? Si la propiedad está en EE. UU. y la persona que actúa en su nombre también está en EE. UU., probablemente no necesite una apostilla, solo un poder notarial debidamente notarizado. Las apostillas se necesitan cuando el poder notarial se presentará ante autoridades de un país extranjero miembro de la Convención de La Haya. Sin embargo, si el comprador es extranjero y su gobierno exige documentos autenticados, es posible que se solicite una apostilla. ¿Se puede apostillar un poder notarial si se notarizó en un estado diferente al que vivo? Sí. El factor relevante es dónde está comisionado el notario, no dónde vive usted. Si notarizó su poder notarial con un notario de California mientras visitaba California pero vive en Nueva York, la apostilla debe provenir de la Secretaría de Estado de California. Tramitamos apostillas de los 50 estados.

La notarización tradicional en persona con una firma de tinta húmeda y un sello físico sigue siendo la opción más segura para uso internacional. ### Elementos notariales faltantes Una notarización completa debe incluir la firma del notario, el nombre impreso, el número de comisión, la fecha de vencimiento de la comisión, el estado de la comisión, el acto notarial realizado (reconocimiento o declaración jurada), la fecha de notarización y el sello o estampado oficial del notario. La falta de cualquiera de estos elementos puede hacer que la Secretaría de Estado rechace el documento. ### Problemas con notarios de otro estado Un notario solo puede realizar actos notariales dentro del estado donde está comisionado. Si un notario comisionado en California notariza un documento en Nevada, la notarización es inválida. El estado de la apostilla debe coincidir con el estado de comisión del notario, y la notarización debe haberse realizado dentro de las fronteras de ese estado. ### Tipo de acto notarial incorrecto Hay una diferencia entre un reconocimiento (el firmante reconoce que firmó el documento) y una declaración jurada (el firmante jura que el contenido es verdadero, firmando ante el notario). Algunos países de destino exigen un tipo específico de acto notarial. Usar el incorrecto puede resultar en el rechazo por parte de la autoridad extranjera, incluso con una apostilla válida. ## Nunca envíe por correo sus documentos originales Tramitamos las apostillas a partir de una copia fiel certificada (true copy) notariada del escaneo que usted sube. Su acta de nacimiento, su diploma o su informe del FBI nunca sale de sus manos, así que jamás puede perderse en el correo. [Cómo funciona el trámite con copia fiel certificada](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) Preguntas frecuentes ## Preguntas frecuentes ¿Qué es una apostilla? Una apostilla es un certificado emitido por una autoridad estadounidense designada (un Secretario de Estado) que autentica un documento de EE. UU. para su uso en países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya. ¿Necesito enviar mi documento notarizado original? En la mayoría de los casos, no. Suba un escaneo a color nítido de su documento notarizado a través de nuestro portal seguro. Nuestro notario con licencia certifica que la copia impresa es una reproducción fiel y exacta del original, y un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. Su documento notarizado original nunca tiene que salir de su poder. El documento apostillado resultante se reconoce en los países de la Convención de La Haya para casi todos los casos de uso comunes (doble ciudadanía, matrimonio en el extranjero, solicitudes de visa, inscripción escolar, transacciones de propiedades en el extranjero y más). La única vez que tendría que enviar el original físico por correo es si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente el documento original, o exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su documento notarizado. Si ese es su caso, ofrecemos un [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission) y le guiaremos a través de él. [Más información sobre nuestro proceso digital →](https://apostilles.us/true-copy-vs-original) ¿Cómo pueden tramitar una apostilla con solo un escaneo digital? Nuestro proceso usa un notario con licencia en EE. UU. que certifica que una copia impresa hecha a partir de su escaneo es una reproducción fiel y exacta del documento original. Luego, un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. emite la apostilla sobre la copia fiel certificada por el notario. La apostilla autentica el sello y la firma del notario, que es exactamente lo que reconoce la Convención de La Haya. Como trabajamos a partir de un escaneo, su original nunca tiene que salir de su poder, el procesamiento es mucho más rápido que enviar documentos físicos de ida y vuelta, y no hay riesgo de que su original se pierda o se dañe en el envío. ¿Mi documento notarizado necesita notarización antes de la apostilla? Los registros vitales emitidos por el gobierno (certificados de nacimiento, certificados de matrimonio, certificados de defunción) por lo general no requieren notarización adicional antes de la apostilla. Los documentos privados, como los poderes notariales, los certificados de estudios y las declaraciones juradas personales, sí deben notarizarse primero, porque la apostilla se emite sobre la certificación del notario y no sobre el documento en sí. Si su documento notarizado necesita notarización, podemos encargarnos de ello como parte de su pedido mediante nuestro [servicio adicional de notario en línea](https://apostilles.us/es/remote-notary). ¿Cuánto tiempo tarda en apostillarse un documento notarizado? Nuestro proceso digital completa los pedidos Económicos en 4 a 6 días hábiles, los Estándar en 2 a 3 días hábiles y los Exprés en 1 día hábil. El tiempo de envío es independiente del tiempo de procesamiento. [Ver los detalles completos de los tiempos de procesamiento →](https://apostilles.us/processing-times) ¿Cuánto cuesta una apostilla? El precio depende del nivel de procesamiento que elija. El nivel Económico comienza en $149 por documento, el Estándar en $197 y el Exprés (1 día hábil) en $249. Todos los niveles incluyen revisión del documento, copia fiel notariada, apostilla estatal y envío nacional con seguimiento. [Ver todos los detalles de precios y servicios adicionales →](https://apostilles.us/es/pricing) ¿Qué países aceptan apostillas? Más de 120 países miembros de la Convención de Apostilla de La Haya aceptan apostillas. Esto incluye la mayor parte de Europa, Sudamérica y muchos países de Asia y África. Si su país de destino no es miembro de la Convención de La Haya, es posible que necesite una legalización consular en lugar de una apostilla. [Consulte la guía específica por país →](https://apostilles.us/apostille-by-country) ¿La emitirá el mismo estado que emitió mi documento notarizado? No necesariamente. Con nuestro proceso digital, la apostilla la emite un Secretario de Estado de EE. UU. donde nuestro notario con licencia tiene su comisión, que puede ser un estado distinto del que emitió originalmente su documento notarizado. La apostilla cumple plenamente con la Convención de La Haya y la aceptan las autoridades receptoras en más de 120 países, sin importar qué estado la emitió. Si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino exige específicamente que la apostilla provenga del mismo estado que emitió su documento notarizado, tendría que usar nuestro [servicio de apostilla de documento original](https://apostilles.us/es/original-submission), que tramita su original físico a través del estado emisor. ¿Qué tipos de documentos notarizados se pueden apostillar? Prácticamente cualquier documento que haya sido debidamente notarizado puede recibir una apostilla. Los ejemplos comunes incluyen declaraciones juradas, cartas de consentimiento (como el consentimiento parental de viaje), declaraciones bajo juramento, cartas de autorización, documentos corporativos, contratos, registros médicos, cartas de apoyo migratorio y declaraciones personales. La apostilla autentica la firma del notario, no el contenido del documento. ¿Puedo usar un notario en línea para un documento que se apostillará? Por lo general lo desaconsejamos para uso internacional. Si bien algunos estados aceptan la Notarización Remota en Línea (RON) para apostilla, muchos no lo hacen, y muchos países de destino rechazan los documentos notarizados electrónicamente de todos modos. La notarización tradicional en persona con una firma de tinta húmeda y un sello o estampado físico es el enfoque más aceptado universalmente. El notario olvidó incluir la fecha de vencimiento de su comisión. ¿Aún se puede apostillar? En la mayoría de los estados, no. La fecha de vencimiento de la comisión es un elemento requerido de una notarización válida. Si falta cualquier elemento notarial, la Secretaría de Estado puede rechazar el documento. Tendría que volver a notarizar el documento con todos los elementos requeridos presentes antes de presentarlo para apostilla. ¿La apostilla verifica que el contenido de mi documento es verdadero? No. La apostilla solo autentica la firma, el sello y la capacidad del notario público que notarizó el documento. No verifica, respalda ni certifica el contenido, las declaraciones o la exactitud del documento subyacente. La apostilla dice 'este notario es real y está autorizado', nada más. Necesito apostillar una carta de consentimiento parental para el viaje internacional de mi hijo. ¿Qué necesito? Necesita una carta de consentimiento por escrito firmada por el padre que no viaja (o ambos padres si el menor viaja con otro adulto), notarizada por un notario público comisionado en el estado donde firma el padre. La notarización debe incluir todos los elementos estándar (firma, sello, número de comisión, fecha de vencimiento). Luego apostillamos la firma del notario a través de la Secretaría de Estado correspondiente.

Son $168 por documento en la vía de Copia Fiel, que es la copia notarizada y la que usa la mayoría de los clientes. 31 de agosto de 2026 ## La respuesta corta Apostillar un documento estadounidense con nosotros cuesta $149 por documento en el nivel Económico Estándar, más $19 por documento de Procesamiento y Gestión Gubernamental. Son $168 por documento en la vía de Copia Fiel, que es la copia notarizada y la que usa la mayoría de los clientes. El envío se cobra aparte: $49 nacional al día siguiente o $87 internacional con seguimiento. Abajo está el desglose y también lo que casi nunca se explica: la diferencia entre la tasa oficial del gobierno y la tarifa del servicio, por qué nuestro precio no cambia según el estado que emitió su documento, y cuándo hay que enviar el original. ## La tabla de precios Nivel Plazo de procesamiento Copia Fiel (copia notarizada) Protocolo Original (documento original) Económico Estándar 4 a 6 días hábiles $149 $175 Prioridad Estándar 2 a 3 días hábiles $197 $225 Prioridad Exprés 1 día hábil $249 $275 Los precios son por documento, no por página : un documento de diez páginas que lleva una sola apostilla se cobra como uno. El cargo de $19 aplica en Copia Fiel y cubre las tasas estatales de presentación. En Protocolo Original no aplica; en su lugar se suma la tasa oficial del estado emisor, que varía y se muestra en el formulario antes de pagar. Complementos, cuando hacen falta: - Notario Público en Línea Internacional: $197. Sesión por video con un notario comisionado en EE. UU. Agrega alrededor de 1 día hábil. - Notario Móvil: $197 en la mayoría de las ciudades no rurales. - Escaneo de Finalización: $59 por documento, listo aproximadamente 1 día hábil después de la apostilla. - Traducción Certificada para USCIS , como complemento de una apostilla: $97 por página de 1 a 2 páginas, $89 de 3 a 4, $74 de 5 a 9 y $69 desde 10. El total de páginas del pedido define la tarifa de todo el pedido. - Obtención de registros vitales (acta o partida de nacimiento, acta de matrimonio, certificado de defunción) en los 50 estados: $169 por copia certificada , tasas estatales incluidas. La pregunta que más recibimos en español es "El precio y cuanto tiempo demora por fav". Un acta de nacimiento en Económico Estándar enviada dentro de Estados Unidos son $149 + $19 + $49 = $217 ; con envío internacional, $255 . ### Lo que el precio no incluye El envío nunca está incluido en el precio anunciado, y se cobra por envío, no por documento . Dos situaciones generan más de un envío en el mismo pedido: los documentos estatales y los federales se procesan en oficinas distintas y se despachan por separado, y en Protocolo Original hay un envío por cada estado emisor. Tampoco incluye traducción, notarización, la obtención del documento si usted no lo tiene, ni lo que cobre la oficina que emitió el original. ## Tasa oficial del gobierno y tarifa del servicio Quien busca "tasa del servicio de apostilla" suele estar mezclando dos cobros. La tasa oficial la fija cada autoridad y es lo único que se paga si usted hace el trámite por su cuenta. Verificamos estas cinco en el sitio de cada autoridad el 30 de agosto de 2026: Autoridad Tasa oficial por documento [Secretaría de Estado de Texas](https://www.sos.state.tx.us/authinfo.shtml) $15 por apostilla universal. $10 en procesos de adopción, con tope de $100 por menor [Secretaría de Estado de California](https://www.sos.ca.gov/notary/request-apostille) $20, más $6 de manejo especial por cada firma distinta de funcionario público que se autentique [Departamento de Estado de Florida](https://dos.fl.gov/sunbiz/other-services/apostille-notarial-certification/) $10. Sube a $20 si el documento viene certificado por un Clerk of the Court de un condado de Florida, porque se agrega un Certificate of Incumbency [Departamento de Estado de Nueva York](https://dos.ny.gov/apostille-certificate-authentication) $10 [Departamento de Estado de EE. UU. (documentos federales)](https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/records-and-authentications/authenticate-your-document/office-of-authentications.html) $20 no reembolsables Son ejemplos verificados, no una lista completa: las tasas cambian y varían mucho entre estados, así que confirme la suya en el sitio oficial de su estado. La tarifa del servicio es lo que cobra una gestoría por revisar el documento, notarizar la copia fiel, presentarla ante la autoridad correcta y devolverla con rastreo. ### Por qué nuestro precio no cambia según el estado Esto sorprende a quien busca "apostillas texas precios", "cuanto vale una apostilla en alabama" o "que costo tiene solicitar un apostillado en georgia" esperando tres respuestas distintas. En Copia Fiel, la apostilla la emite la Secretaría de Estado donde está comisionado nuestro notario , no el estado que emitió su documento, porque lo que se autentica es la firma y el sello del notario que certificó la copia. Por eso el precio es el mismo para un acta de Florida, un diploma de Georgia o una partida de nacimiento de Alabama: $149 más $19, en los 50 estados. Es parte normal del proceso digital y válido bajo la Convención de La Haya, y también la parte que más explicaciones exige después, porque el cliente ve el sello de otro estado en su documento. El número de apostilla se verifica con la Secretaría de Estado que la emitió. Donde el estado sí cambia el precio es en Protocolo Original, porque ahí el documento físico viaja a la Secretaría de Estado que lo emitió. ## Copia simple, copia fiel y original Una copia simple no se puede apostillar. Una fotocopia sin más no tiene firma ni sello de un funcionario público, así que no hay nada que el estado pueda autenticar. Una copia fiel certificada sí. Una copia fiel del original es una reproducción que un notario o el custodio del documento certifica por escrito como copia completa y exacta del original. Esa certificación firmada y sellada es un acto público, y es lo que la apostilla autentica. Es lo que producimos con el escaneo que usted carga: imprimimos su archivo, el notario certifica la copia y la Secretaría de Estado apostilla esa certificación. Su original nunca sale de su poder. El original. La única vez que necesitaría enviarlo es si la autoridad receptora de su país de destino lo exige específicamente, lo cual es poco frecuente. Nuestras reglas fijas: - Israel : todos los tipos de documento van por original. Es el único destino donde no ofrecemos la copia fiel. - Documentos emitidos fuera de Estados Unidos y pasaportes : solo copia fiel. El Protocolo Original no está disponible para ellos. Para cualquier otro destino, la copia fiel es la vía estándar y el original queda disponible cuando la autoridad receptora lo exige; en la práctica, esa exigencia aparece sobre todo en registros civiles que tramitan matrimonios. Un detalle de costo que casi nadie anticipa: en Protocolo Original las copias certificadas deben tener en general menos de 5 años , y una más antigua puede ser rechazada. En Copia Fiel no hay límite de antigüedad, así que si su acta es de hace quince años esa vía le ahorra pedir una nueva. ## Hacerlo usted mismo o contratar una gestoría Sin adornos: si usted vive en Estados Unidos, tiene la copia certificada en la mano y no necesita traducción, hacerlo usted mismo es más barato. Paga la tasa oficial, que en los casos verificados va de $10 a $20, más el correo de ida y vuelta. Lo que cambia el cálculo: - El pago. Muchas oficinas aceptan solo cheque o giro postal en dólares de un banco estadounidense; Florida no acepta efectivo ni tarjetas. Desde el extranjero, conseguir el giro suele ser el obstáculo real, no la tasa. - La dirección de retorno. El Departamento de Estado exige un sobre prepagado de USPS o UPS. Desde otro país eso significa depender de un intermediario en EE. UU. - El original en el correo. Hacerlo por cuenta propia casi siempre implica mandar el documento físico. Si es un acta que tomó semanas conseguir, ese riesgo tiene un costo que no aparece en ninguna tabla. - La notarización previa. Un poder notarial, una declaración jurada o un contrato no se pueden apostillar sin notarizar primero. - El plazo oficial. Para documentos federales, el Departamento de Estado indica que las solicitudes por correo se procesan dentro de las 5 semanas siguientes a su recepción, con el formulario DS-4194. Los plazos cambian: consúltelos antes de comprometer una fecha. Lo que se compra al contratar a los gestores no es acceso privilegiado a la Secretaría de Estado, porque no existe: se compra revisión previa del documento, que la copia fiel sustituya al original, el pago y la logística resueltos, y la devolución con rastreo. Si su caso es sencillo y usted está aquí, no hace falta. Si el documento cruza una frontera o usted está en otro país, la comparación deja de ser tasa contra tarifa. Antes de pagar nada puede pedir una [revisión gratuita del documento](https://apostilles.us/es/free-review), que normalmente respondemos en un día hábil. ## Cuánto tarda Los plazos de la tabla son tiempo de procesamiento, no tiempo de entrega , y esa es la confusión más cara de todas. El reloj completo es: recepción del documento (si llega en fin de semana cuenta como lunes), más un día hábil si hay notarización, más un día hábil si hay traducción, más el nivel que eligió, más el tránsito del courier. - Copia Fiel : 4 a 6, 2 a 3 o 1 día hábil, según el nivel. - Protocolo Original : varía por estado emisor, y el formulario muestra el plazo real antes de pagar. En algunos estados se mide en semanas: Míchigan aparece como Económico de 4 a 6 semanas y Nevada como Económico de 6 a 8 semanas. - Apostilla federal : 6 a 14 días hábiles estimados, sin nivel exprés y sin posibilidad de acelerarla. - Obtención del documento : cada agencia fija su propio plazo, desde días en los estados rápidos hasta varios meses en los lentos; la lista por estado está en /es/document-retrieval. Cuando hay que conseguir el documento, el paso lento nunca es la apostilla. ## Las apostillas no caducan, pero el documento sí puede tener vigencia En español la pregunta se escribe de varias maneras: las apostillas caducan, las apostillas se vencen, caducidad, vigencia. La respuesta es la misma. La apostilla no tiene fecha de vencimiento. El Convenio de La Haya de 1961 no establece ningún límite temporal a sus efectos: una apostilla válidamente emitida surte efecto mientras sea identificable y permanezca unida al documento público subyacente, según el [manual oficial de la Conferencia de La Haya](https://assets.hcch.net/upload/apostille_hbe.pdf). Lo que sí puede tener vigencia es el documento de abajo . Son dos fechas distintas impresas para propósitos distintos, y la autoridad que recibe su expediente puede exigir que el documento subyacente sea reciente. Esa exigencia es de ella, no del Convenio. Ocurre sobre todo con los antecedentes penales del FBI , donde la ventana se cuenta desde la fecha de emisión del reporte y varía por país y por autoridad receptora, así que conviene pedir el reporte lo más tarde posible dentro de su cronograma. También en trámites de inmigración en España , donde algunos documentos deben haberse emitido dentro de los últimos 3 meses. Si su documento quedó fuera de vigencia, lo que se vuelve a pedir es el documento, no la apostilla. ## Antecedentes penales del FBI Es el documento que más se procesa por la vía equivocada. Los reportes del FBI son registros federales: su apostilla la emite el Departamento de Estado de EE. UU., Oficina de Autenticaciones, en Washington D.C., no una Secretaría de Estado . Ninguna oficina estatal tiene jurisdicción sobre un registro federal, viva usted donde viva. Una pregunta recurrente es si hay que apostillar primero en el propio estado y después en Washington. No: los reportes del FBI se procesan directamente a través del Departamento de Estado de los Estados Unidos para obtener la apostilla federal, y no existe un paso estatal previo. Sobre la diferencia entre hacer el apostillamiento usted mismo y usar un servicio profesional: el FBI cobra $18 por el Identity History Summary y [no acelera las solicitudes](https://www.fbi.gov/how-we-can-help-you/more-fbi-services-and-information/identity-history-summary-checks/identity-history-summary-checks-faqs), y ese trámite lo hace usted en cualquier caso, porque nosotros no gestionamos el reporte ni las huellas. Por su cuenta, el Departamento de Estado cobra después $20 no reembolsables por documento con el formulario DS-4194. Con nosotros el pedido va por el mismo formulario y la misma escala por documento ($149 / $197 / $249, más $19), pero el plazo se fija en 6 a 14 días hábiles sin importar el nivel, más el envío. Ninguna de las dos opciones acelera al gobierno. El PDF original del FBI es el original : se carga tal como lo descargó del sitio del FBI, porque un escaneo o una foto de un reporte impreso no sirve para la vía federal. Si le entregaron un documento físico, se envía ese original. Existe la alternativa de procesarlo como copia fiel estatal, que sí acepta los niveles rápidos, y la decimos siempre con la advertencia completa: las apostillas de copia fiel sobre reportes del FBI tienen una tasa de aceptación baja ante la mayoría de las autoridades receptoras, y la aceptación depende siempre de la autoridad receptora, aun cuando la apostilla se haya emitido correctamente. ## Poder notarial y traducción jurada Un poder notarial es un documento privado, así que no se puede apostillar sin notarizar primero : la apostilla autentica la firma del notario, no el contenido del poder. Si el documento aún no está firmado y usted está fuera de EE. UU., la vía de copia fiel admite la sesión con notario en línea a $197. En Protocolo Original la notarización debe ser presencial con un notario comisionado en el mismo estado, porque el notario en línea no se acepta en esa vía. El idioma no es un obstáculo : un poder redactado en español se puede apostillar una vez notarizado por un notario estadounidense. Lo que sí puede serlo es el formato , porque varios países de América Latina y del sur de Europa exigen que el poder siga su propia plantilla o incluya cláusulas específicas; pida el modelo a su notario o abogado en destino antes de firmar. Un poder firmado por video con envío nacional sale en $149 + $19 + $197 + $49 = $414 . Sobre la traducción jurada : nuestra Traducción Certificada para USCIS es una traducción certificada estadounidense con notarización, y no es el equivalente de una traducción jurada hecha por un traductor jurado autorizado por el Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de España. Si su trámite la exige, apostille aquí y encargue la traducción jurada en destino, para no pagar dos veces. Las opciones están en [traducción certificada](https://apostilles.us/es/certified-translation). ## Cuatro situaciones que se repiten El diploma imposible de enviar. Un diploma emitido como una placa de plata grabada, literalmente irremplazable, cuyo dueño en el extranjero creía que debía enviarlo por courier de ida y vuelta. Se procesa como copia fiel desde un escaneo y la placa nunca se mueve. El poder redactado en español. Un poder limitado, redactado en español y sin firmar, para una compra de inmueble en el extranjero. El idioma no bloquea la apostilla estadounidense: se firma ante notario estadounidense por video y el documento sigue la vía de copia fiel. Tres trámites, tres actas. Un escaneo con la marca de agua de una aplicación de escáner en el borde puede ser rechazado en destino, y quien necesita tres actas apostilladas para tres procesos distintos necesita tres actas, porque las apostillas se emiten por documento. La solución típica: actas certificadas nuevas procesadas por Protocolo Original en un solo envío. Meses de espera por un acta. Quien solo tiene el certificado conmemorativo del hospital necesita pedir el acta de nacimiento certificada, y en las oficinas lentas esa fila se mide en meses. La apostilla es la parte rápida y barata del problema; el plazo por estado está en la página de [obtención de documentos](https://apostilles.us/es/document-retrieval). ## Qué hacer ahora Si ya tiene el documento escaneado, la orden se inicia en [subir documento](https://apostilles.us/es/submit) y el total aparece antes de pagar.
