The Apostille Convention requires that all Apostilles be numbered consecutively, with individual numbers applied to each Apostille issued. The recognized standard Apostille contains a seal and 10 mandatory references. This process of requesting and getting an apostille is different for each state.

Our White-Glove Apostille Service in in each of the 50 states handles the entire process for you:

• We review your documents in advance to ensure compliance. Currently, more than half of all documents submitted for Apostille in the Unted States are rejected.  The reasons vary, but the end result is the same; delays in getting your documents authenticated and returned to you. 
• We fill out all forms required by the Secretary of State, and pay all fees associated with the Authentication. This may seem minor, but we know exactly what the State is looking for, so we complete these forms with meticulous care including every detail.
• We hand carry every Apostille request to and from the Secretary of State’s Office. We know exactly where your documents are in the authentication process, and we communicate this information to you.  We do not rely of the Secretary of State’s Office to open, process and mail back your application. 
• We provide a scanned copy of your Apostille Certificate as soon as it is completed. This lets you know that your document is completed and on its’ way, back to you.
• We use Federal Express as our shipping carrier. We hand carry every shipment to the FedEx counter and have it scanned.  We NEVER use drop boxes or third party drop off locations for our shipments.
