US Apostille Services for International Documents
Looking for a United States apostille? We handle the complete process — from Remote Online Notarization to New York State Department of State certification — for use in any of the 120+ Hague Convention countries worldwide.
What Is a US Apostille?
A US apostille is an official government certification that authenticates the origin of a United States public document so it can be legally recognized in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Convention. If you need US documents — such as birth certificates, diplomas, or powers of attorney — accepted abroad, a New York State apostille is required. As a Remote Online Notary Public, we handle the entire process remotely.
The United States joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1981. New York State apostilles are issued by the NYS Department of State and accepted in 120+ countries worldwide.
Accepted Forms of Identification
We accept all valid U.S. and international government-issued photo identification for notarization sessions, provided the documents being notarized will be used within the United States.
ID must be current, government-issued, and include a photo. Expired identification is not accepted.
