Apostille Global Services is a private apostille service. We are not a government agency.

Rules monitored daily

We track Secretary of State, USCIS, embassy, and Hague Conference updates every day.

All 50 states + DC

Hague apostille and non-Hague embassy authentication, routed to the correct authority.

Verified for 2026

Every page fact-checked against current Secretary of State, USCIS, and Hague Conference rules, re-checked quarterly.

Standards we follow

Compliant with the rules that actually get documents accepted

Hague Apostille Convention (1961)

Apostilles issued for member countries; embassy legalization routed for non-member destinations.

State Secretary of State rules

Each filing follows the issuing state's current fee schedule, form requirements, and accepted document formats.

Vital records sourced from the state

CA birth, marriage, and death certificates come from CDPH — never the county recorder — so they're accepted for apostille on the first submission.

Notary-compliant document prep

Notarizable forms are sent blank, per state law — you fill in the facts and sign in front of a notary, then we handle the apostille.
