Certified Document Translation
Apostille & Legalization

If you are intending to use your Certified Document Translation within the United States, you do not need to have it Apostilled.

 

Apostille is used when the receiving country is a part of the Hague Convention of 1961. t certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity of the person signing the document, and the seal or stamp on it. It eliminates the need for further authentication by the destination country's embassy or consulate.

​

Legalization (or Consular Authentication) is used when the receiving country is not a part of the Hague convention. 

​

Both are a multi-step process and can vary state-to-state and be very confusing to the general public- which is why our trained professionals can assist you with the process following the certification of your translation.

​

We can assist you with non-translated documents as well. However, for your translated documents we will assess documents you submit for translation, if they are best for Apostille or Legalization, and if they are going to a Hague or Non-Hauge country. Unfortunately, it is nearly impossible for us to create a quoting form for Apostilles because each one is unique. We do, however, guarantee that our rates are extremely affordable for Apostille. 

​

A large percent of our translations will be Apostilled at the Secretary of States office closes to the Notary who certifies your translation which will save you a great deal of money.
