Hague
Hague countries, also known as member countries of the Hague Apostille Convention, are those that have agreed to simplify the process of authenticating documents for use abroad. These countries have adopted a standard certification called an apostille, which is issued by the competent authority designated by each member country. The apostille serves as a universally recognized certificate of authenticity, making the document valid and legally binding in all other Hague member countries.
NonHague
Non-Hague countries are those that have not signed or ratified the Hague Apostille Convention. In these countries, the process of document authentication can be more complex and time-consuming. Instead of an apostille, these countries require a chain of authentication through various government departments or embassies. The specific requirements and procedures vary from country to country. For Non-Hague countries, the apostille is not issued; instead, documents may need to be certified by the relevant authorities, such as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the embassy/consulate of the destination country.

Do you offer International shipping once documents have been completed?
Yes, we offer international shipping services for completed documents. Please keep in mind that international shipping fees and times may vary depending on factors such as customs procedures and local postal services. Kindly notate special requests on the intake form.
Can I submit a scanned copy of my vital records for apostille?
​No, scanned copies of vital records are generally not accepted for apostille purposes. Most apostille authorities require original or certified copies of vital records to ensure the authenticity of the documents. It is advisable to submit the original or certified copies of your vital records for apostille certification.
Can you Apostille documents from any country?
Yes, we can assist with obtaining apostilles for documents issued in many different countries. We have experience working with a wide range of international documents, and our team is knowledgeable about the specific requirements of various countries.
How do you handle lost or damaged documents in transit?
While we make every effort to ensure the safe delivery of your documents, we are not responsible for any loss or damage that may occur during transit. However, we will assist you in resolving the issue and determining the best course of action to achieve customer satisfaction. We recommend that customers obtain insurance with the chosen shipping carrier to provide additional protection. In the event of loss or damage, customers will be responsible for the fee to resubmit the documents for processing.
Is the Apostille valid indefinitely?
No, the apostille is generally valid for a specific period determined by the issuing country. Once the apostille is attached to your document, it remains valid as long as the document itself is considered valid. However, if you need to use the document after the apostille's expiration, you may need to obtain a new apostille.
No, we are a private apostille service company. While we work closely with various government entities to obtain apostilles for your documents, we are an independent service provider and not directly affiliated with any embassy, consulate, or government entity.
