Apostille certificate

Apostille Documents

An apostille is basically a document that certifies another certification. This document is often required in countries that are a part of the Hague Convention. Obtaining an apostille can be a daunting task, or time consuming to say the least. We have compiled step by step instructions for each State on the cheapest, quickest and most efficient way to get an Apostille. An apostille is obtained at the State level from the Secretary of State. Usually you would get a State apostille on a certificate of good standing, a certificate of incorporation, certificate of organization, certificate of membership, or any other State document you might want additional certification of. You can also get an apostille of a document that has a State notary signature on it. Please click on the State below you are interested in for more step by step instructions, forms, and links. If you do not want to get the Apostille certificate yourself, you can use our Apostille service to have us obtain the certificate for you from the Secretary of State.
