Documents we help apostille
We assist with birth, marriage and death certificates, academic diplomas and transcripts, corporate documents, and powers of attorney intended for use abroad. We explain exactly what each destination country requires.
Why guidance matters
Apostilles go through the Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth, and some documents must first be notarized or certified. We help you assemble the correct order of steps so your documents are accepted the first time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a notarization and an apostille?
Notarization certifies a signature; an apostille authenticates a public document so a foreign government will accept it. Many documents need both, in the right order.
Which documents can be apostilled?
Public documents such as birth, marriage and death certificates, diplomas, and notarized powers of attorney can typically be apostilled.
Do you handle documents for any country?
We help with documents destined for countries in the Hague Apostille Convention, and we explain the alternative process when a country is not a member.
