Apostille, Authentication, & Certifications
If you are traveling overseas or sending documents to a foreign country, you may be required to have your documents certified by your State's Secretary of States' office in order to prove the validity of the documents and the Notary who notarized the documents. Essentially it is an extra step to avoid fraud for foreign governments. Each country may refer to an apostille as an apostille, certification, or authentication- that really just depends on what country it is going to but the process is all the same.
Currently, we offer Apostille Services in Arizona and is up-to-date on the filing process (which was altered during COVID-19 Pandemic) and is currently still facing restrictions for filings. We are here to make the process as simple and easy for you as possible and hope that you'll allow us to help you through the process as painlessly as possible.
Please Note: Documents recorded by another state such as a Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, or even a Deed of Trust must be apostilled by the State it is recorded in. Also, documents can only be Apostilled in Arizona if the Notary who performed the Notarization is located in Arizona as well.
