Question 8

What is an apostille?

Accepted Answer

An apostille is a form of authentication issued by a government authority that verifies the legitimacy of a document for use in another country. It's required for documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, and legal documents being used internationally.

Question 9

How does your apostille service work?

We act as your courier, delivering your documents to the Arizona Secretary of State's office for apostille processing and returning them to you. This saves you the time and hassle of navigating the process yourself.

Accepted Answer

Processing times vary depending on the Arizona Secretary of State's current workload. We'll give you an estimated timeline when you contact us and keep you updated throughout the process.

Question 11

What ID do I need to bring?

You'll need a current, government-issued photo ID such as a driver's license, state ID, passport, or military ID. The name on your ID must match the name on the documents being notarized.

Should my documents be filled out before the appointment?
