What an apostille is.

An apostille is an international certification that verifies the authenticity of the signature and seal on a public document, ensuring its legal recognition in other member countries of The Hague Convention.

At Prodezk we guide you through the entire process of apostilling any document, with the confidence of working alongside certified and highly trained professionals.

Whatever the document, our team manages the process with care and keeps it free of friction.

Questions

Frequently asked

Why would an entity in my country ask me to apostille company documents?

Since these are foreign documents, government entities in your country may need to verify their validity in some cases.

How do I receive the apostilled document?

You receive a digital copy of the document already apostilled, and the original is sent by certified mail. The cost of shipping is not included in the value of the apostille.

Is the apostille valid in any country?

It's valid only in the countries that belong to the Hague Convention.

Do I have to travel to the United States to sign any document?

This depends on the state, because some states may require you to do the procedure yourself. Most allow Prodezk to handle the full process on your behalf.

How long can the apostille process take?

On average, the process to apostille a document takes 1 to 2 months, depending on the state.
