FAQ

About Apostille and certified documents.

What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is an authentication of a document by the Secretary of State for use in countries that joined the Hague Apostille Convention. For non-Hague countries, the process is called authentication and adds steps (often including US State Department and the destination country embassy).
How long does it take?
Standard turnaround is 5-7 business days. Major states (Delaware, New York, California, Texas, Florida) support 24-48 hour rush at a premium. Non-Hague country authentication adds 1-3 weeks for State Department and embassy.
Which countries require Apostille?
120+ countries are in the Hague Convention. Common examples: most of Europe, UK, Mexico, Japan, South Korea, Brazil. Non-Hague countries (require authentication): China, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. International courier (DHL, FedEx International) included on Rush tier; available as add-on at Standard.
What if I need this urgently?
Rush tier supports 24-48 hour turnaround in major states. Tell us the deadline at checkout; we will confirm feasibility within an hour.
Can you handle authentication for non-Hague countries?
Yes. The process is longer (1-3 additional weeks for US State Department + embassy legalization) and pricier, but we handle the full chain.
