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
California birth, marriage, and death certificates are sourced from the California Department of Public Health (state office), which the Secretary of State accepts for apostille on the first submission.
Notary-compliant document prep
Notarizable forms are sent blank so you can fill in the facts and sign in front of a notary — then the apostille is applied to your notarized original.
EAD I-766 Apostille
An EAD I-766 apostille is often requested when a U.S. employment authorization record needs to be used outside the United States. Clients use this record for immigration files, employment records, residency matters, school requests, family matters, legal filings, and foreign requests. An EAD I-766 packet needs to connect the person's legal name, identity details, record type, destination country, purpose abroad, and related immigration records. Apostille Global Services helps clients choose the right service option before the packet is prepared. EAD I-766 apostille support is available for Hague and non-Hague countries.
Official source note
Copies of protected federal certificates or federal photo identification must be handled carefully; unauthorized reproduction or misuse can implicate 18 U.S.C. §701.
Why This Federal Document Needs Careful Preparation
An Employment Authorization Document is tied to identity and immigration status.
It is often reviewed abroad with passports, immigration notices, work records, school files, or family records.
The main risk is a mismatch between the EAD and the purpose abroad.
A valid record can still create problems when names, dates, status details, or related documents do not match.
Quick Facts
- Category: Federal immigration and employment authorization record
- Common use: Immigration files, employment records, residency matters, school requests, family matters, legal filings, and foreign requests
- Main risk: Identity details, record type, or related immigration records do not support the purpose abroad
- Destination-country information needed: Yes, including whether the destination is a Hague or non-Hague country
- Best next step: Request Full Service and we will review the details and send an itemized quote and next steps
What Makes This Federal Document Tricky
Many clients think the card alone explains the request.
Overseas offices often need the record to match a specific identity, immigration, employment, school, or registry purpose.
The EAD I-766 can be compared with passports, immigration notices, employment records, school records, marriage records, and name change records.
The packet is stronger when the identity details and purpose abroad match clearly.
Common Packet Issues
These are the types of issues that can affect an EAD I-766 apostille packet:
- The record type does not match the country request
- The name does not match related identity records
- The document is unclear, damaged, cropped, incomplete, or hard to read
- Related immigration records do not match the identity details
- The overseas office expects a different identity or immigration record
- The destination country expects translation or non-Hague legalization
- Hague or non-Hague handling was not reviewed before preparation
