A: An apostille is a certificate issued by the state or federal government that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in countries that are part of The Hague Apostille Convention.
Q: What kinds of documents can be apostilled?
A: Common documents include birth certificates, marriage licenses, powers of attorney, school transcripts, business records, and background checks.
Q: Do you handle both state and federal apostilles?
A: Yes! I currently specialize in state-level apostilles, but I also offer federal apostille facilitation (such as for FBI background checks or federal documents) upon request.
Q: How much do apostille services cost?
A: Services start at $185 for the first document, which includes:
State fee

Federal documents may have different pricing depending on the type of document and required processing time. Contact me for a custom quote.
Q: Do I need to notarize my document first?
A: Some documents do require notarization before they can be apostilled. I’ll review your document and let you know if notarization is needed — and I can provide that service as well.
Q: How long does the apostille process take?
A: State apostilles typically take 5–10 business days, depending on the state.
Federal apostilles can take 10–15 business days or longer, based on government processing times.

A: Yes! I offer full-service apostille facilitation. I’ll manage the notarization (if needed), submission, tracking, and delivery — so you don’t have to lift a finger.
