FAQ's(Frequently asked questions)
Q: How long does an apostille take in Texas?
Processing via mail-in, directly through the TX SOS can take up to 25 business days or more. Our Standard processing is 5-7 business days. For more urgent services, a Rush/Expedited service may be available depending on state workload, document type and document origination.
Q: Do I need to come in person?
No. We offer mail-in services, as well as mobile services, for local clientele, and remote online services(when applicable), if requested.
Q: What is the difference between an apostille and notarization?
A Notarization verifies a signature's authenticity by a notary public for domestic use, while an apostille is an international certification by a government agency (like the Secretary of State) that authenticates the notary's signature/seal for use in other Hague Convention countries, making a document valid abroad; you typically need a notarization first, then an apostille for international recognition.
Q: What countries accept an apostille?
Over 120 countries accept an apostille under the Hague Apostille Convention, simplifying document legalization for international use. Click on the link below to access the Hague Convention Members.

Q: What documents need to be certified vs notarized?
For an apostille, public documents (birth/marriage certificates, court records, diplomas) need certification by the issuing authority (e.g., Secretary of State), while private documents (contracts, affidavits, powers of attorney, business agreements) first need notarization, which confirms the signer's identity, followed by the Secretary of State's certification of the notary's seal and signature. Essentially, the apostille is the final certificate verifying the authenticity of a signature/seal for Hague Convention countries, but it often builds upon prior certifications or notarizations.
