Apostille and Notary Services Near Me

by

Are you searching for Apostille and Notary Services Near Me?

While most apostille service companies have one location, we have nine strategically located offices in major metropolitan cities and in close proximity to the Secretary of State, US Federal Government, and Consulate and Embassy offices.  Our list of offices is below.

What is the difference between a notary public and an apostille?  A notary public is a individual commissioned by the state to notarize your signature on the document.  Documents that require your signature must first be signed and notarized and then mailed in to our office for processing.  All signatures must be original as we do not process digital notarizations.  An example of a document that requires your signature and a notary public is a power of attorney.

Many of our clients have more than one document to process and often than not, from two different states.  For example, if you were born in Texas and married in Illinois, you will need to obtain a Texas apostille and a Illinois apostille.  Our offices in Houston, Texas and Chicago, Illinois can process your documents quickly saving you time and money.

An apostille is a certificate issued by the State which authenticates the official who has signed your document.  An apostille does not authenticate the content of your documents.  What is an apostille?  There are currently 117 countries who are members of the Hague Apostille.

Our offices are located in the following areas:

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated.

Will and Trust Apostille

by

Do you need to apostille a Will or a Trust?

At Apostille Services, we take the guesswork out of obtaining an apostille on Will and/or Trust documents.

We can apostille documents signed and notarized in all 50 U.S. states, District of Columbia, and the U.S. Federal Government (Notarized at a USA Embassy and for another country). For countries who are non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention, we can also process your documents through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. and the Embassy or Consulate office.

How to apostille a Will or Trust?  In order to apostille a Will or Trust, they either need to be signed and notarized, copy certified with a notary public (Example: Attorney certifies the copy is a true copy of the original), or filed with the Court whereas a Court certified copy can be produced.  A Court certified copy must have the name and signature of the Clerk of the Court/Deputy Clerk, and the seal/stamp of the Court.  In certain situations, the seal is embossed and/or color stamped.

A Will is typically not notarized.  If you need to apostille a Will and it’s not notarized, you can make a copy of the original Will and certify it with a notary public.  For example, you can make a copy of the Will and write a cover letter stating that the attached Will is a true copy of the original.  The cover letter which is basically a sworn statement is signed and notarized.  You can also ask an attorney to certify it with a signed and notarized cover letter.  The third option is to obtain a certified copy from the Court assuming the copy was filed with the Court.

Trust documents are typically signed and notarized.  You can mail in the original signed and notarized documents or have the attorney certify them with a signed and notarized cover letter.  You can also obtain a certified copy from the Court assuming the copy was filed with the Court.

Please note the information is based off of our experience obtaining an apostille on a Will or Trust documents.  Please double check with the requesting country on what is required to avoid delays or additional costs.

by

Do you need to apostille a single status affidavit issued by the US Embassy in a foreign country?

If you are outside of the United States, the local US Embassy or US Consulate office should be able to assist you in completing a single status and also having it signed and notarized.  Because you will be visiting a U.S. Federal Government office and having your document signed and notarized by a US Federal notary public, this document can then only be apostilled through our Washington DC apostille office.

Note: If you are planning to get married in another country who is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, you will be asked to apostille a document called a single status affidavit.  In some countries, you may also be required to provide this documentation for employment.

This document may also be referred to as:

  • No Record of Marriage Apostille
  • Certificate of Freedom to Marry Apostille
  • Certificate of No Impediment for Marriage Apostille
  • Certificate of No Record – Marriage
  • Affidavit of Single Status
  • Affidavit of Marriageability
  • Certificate of No Public Record
  • Eligibility to Marry
  • Affidavit of Civil Status
