APOSTILLES
Short on time but need a document authenticated for use abroad?
Let Mark help!
Whether you're moving internationally, pursuing a degree overseas, adopting from another country, or handling foreign business — getting an apostille doesn't have to be stressful. Mark can handle the entire process for you, from start to finish.
"What Is an Apostille?"
An apostille is an official certification that makes your U.S. documents legally recognized in foreign countries. Think of it as an internationally accepted stamp of authenticity.
The apostille process was established under the Hague Convention of 1961, and today over 120 countries honor apostille documents. Without it, a birth certificate, diploma, or legal document issued in the U.S. may not be accepted abroad.
"Does my document need an Apostille?"
Here are some of the most frequent documents we help authenticate:
-
Personal documents... Birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, death certificates
