Common Questions

Apostille Questions, Answered

Quick answers to what most clients ask. Do not see your question? Call (978) 424-4629 for a free consultation.

What is an apostille and why do I need one?

An apostille is an internationally recognized certification that authenticates the origin of a public document. It confirms the signature, seal or stamp on your document is genuine, so foreign governments accept it without further verification.

You need one when presenting US documents to authorities in any of the 124 Hague Convention member countries for purposes like marriage abroad, foreign residency, international work, study visas or business operations.

How long does the apostille process take?

Massachusetts state apostilles typically complete in 3 to 5 business days. Other state Secretaries of State vary from same-day to several weeks.

Federal apostilles from the US Department of State for FBI reports and federal documents take 8 to 12 weeks standard. Expedited options can reduce this to 1 to 2 weeks.

How much does an apostille cost?

Our state apostille service starts at $149.95 per document. Federal apostilles, expedited processing, translation and notarization add to the base price.

Request a free quote through our intake form with your document type and destination country. We respond within 2 hours.

What is the difference between an apostille and authentication?

An apostille is for documents going to Hague Convention countries. It is a single-step certification recognized globally.

Authentication is for documents going to non-Hague countries. It requires additional steps through the US Department of State and the destination country's embassy or consulate. We handle both.

Do I need to translate my documents?

Many countries require certified translation in their official language. We provide certified and notarized translation services in 120 languages, often packaged with the apostille for a discount.

Check requirements with the foreign authority where you will submit the document or call us for guidance.

Can I get an apostille on a copy or do I need an original?

Most vital records require certified copies issued by the originating state, not photocopies. FBI reports must be the official PDF or printed copy issued by the FBI.

Some documents like diplomas and corporate papers can be notarized copies. We review your documents before processing to make sure they meet requirements and save you a wasted submission.
