Apostille Services

Professional apostille and authentication service with FBI fingerprint background check documents, passport, fingerprint card, and official certification paperwork for international use.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a specialized certification issued by the U.S. Secretary of State (or the relevant state authority) that verifies a document’s legitimacy for international use. It is required under the Hague Apostille Convention for member countries. For non-member countries, documents require authentication (often called “authentication” or “legalization”) through the U.S. Department of State.

Common uses include:

  • Immigration and visa applications
  • International employment or adoption processes
  • Foreign real estate transactions
  • University admissions abroad
  • Marriage or dual citizenship applications
