Atlanta's Trusted Apostille Agent

An apostille is an official certification that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another country. It's issued under the Hague Convention of 1961 and verifies the signature, seal, or stamp on the document. The apostille certifies the document's authenticity so it can be recognized in over 100 countries without further legalization.

Processing times vary by service level: Same-day apostille (completed within 24-48 hours), Expedited service (2-3 business days), Standard service (7-10 business days). The exact time also depends on the issuing state and document type. We handle everything to ensure the fastest possible turnaround.

It depends on the document type. Vital records (birth, death, marriage certificates) do not need notarization as they're already state-issued. Personal documents like power of attorney, affidavits, and contracts must be notarized before apostille. We provide notarization services as part of our comprehensive package, so you don't need to go elsewhere.

Over 120 countries are members of the Hague Convention and accept apostilles, including most European countries, Mexico, Canada (partial), Australia, Japan, China, India, Brazil, Argentina, and many more. If your destination country is not a member, the document will need embassy legalization instead. We can advise on the requirements for your specific country.

Prices vary based on document type and processing speed. Standard service starts at $125 for the first document, Expedited (2-3 days) is $250, and Same-day service is $350. Additional documents in the same order receive discounted pricing. Mobile apostille service has an additional fee of $100 + travel costs. Visit our pricing page for complete details.

Yes! FBI background checks are one of our most requested services.
