APOSTILLE
Apostille service for documents from any state
Overview
An apostille comes from the state that issued or notarized the document, so a New York birth certificate is apostilled in New York and a California diploma in California. We work out the route for your document, handle the county clerk step where the state requires one, and take it to that state's apostille office, through an apostille agent in our network for walk-in states or by mail. New Jersey documents go through our New Jersey apostille service.
Starting at $125 per document, plus state fees · all fees

Before you send
- Tell us the state, the document and the country. The state that issued or notarized the document is the one that apostilles it.
- Notarized documents and locally issued records often need a county clerk certification first; we check that before we quote.
- State and county fees are passed through at cost, on top of our service fee.
- Federal documents such as FBI checks go to the U.S. Department of State instead of a state office.
- We confirm the route, the price and the timing before you pay. We don't guarantee that a foreign office accepts a document. We are not lawyers.

FAQ
Common questions
Which state apostilles my document?
The state that issued it (for a birth, marriage or court record) or the state where the notary who notarized it is commissioned. That office is the only one that can apostille it.
What does it cost?
Our service fee is per document and starts at the price shown above. State and county fees are on top, at cost. We quote the total before you pay.
How long does it take?
It depends on the state. Some offices take walk-ins the same day; others work through mailed requests in order. We give you an estimate with the quote, from the office's own stated times.
Do I need a county clerk certification first?
In some states, yes, for notarized documents and locally issued records. New York is one. We check your state's rule before we quote.
Are you lawyers?
No. We handle the paperwork and the trips. We don't give legal advice or tell you what a foreign authority will accept; the office that asked for the document can tell you.
