Why do we offer Mail in?
Our firm has been unprofessionally-copied by so many mom and pop places in Austin and elsewhere that we've had to include this base service as a response to their cheap mail-only service offering.
This option can be a good fit for some customers looking to simply
save money and take the risk of mailing important documents without consultation.

(FAQ) Frequently Asked Questions:
What is an Apostille? (pronounced APO-STEEL)
The Apostille seal authentication is an international authority that is sealed with your document which allows the receiving nation/country to be assured that the document itself has went thru a process of validation, legalization, notarization and or authentication. The Apostille is not a notary. The Apostille Seal created by the international treaty of the Hague Convention on private law on October 5th, 1961 which specifies the rules for Apostille. In working terms the Apostille is used to create trust and surety between foreign government divisions concerning public documents and allows them to have some assurance that the document they are receiving is valid, legal and authentic.
Can I trust your company? (How do I know I will get my document back)
We are honored to be the highest rated Apostille firm in all of Texas.

What is the Cost of Gold Premium Service? (See Apostille Price)
There are 5 main factors that determine our Gold Apostille price estimates.
The government entities legally involved and their filing fees, the time it takes our experts
to work on your file, and the work that is required all play a role in how much we charge up front.
The Price-Factors for GOLD PREMIUM SERVICE:
-
1. What type of document you need Apostilled.
(ex. Power of Attorney/Death Certificate/Diploma/Corporate Document etc..) -
2. Which country is the Apostille for?
(Where is it going? ex. Germany, India etc..)
Here is a List of Apostille Hague Convention Countries.
Which government are you addressing and what are their rules. -
3. Where do the document originates from?
(Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee etc.) -
4. How many documents do you have in total?
(one document vs. four documents) -
5. Do you need it back fast?
Normally it takes the government, at least,
20-40 business days to process one document.
Rush Options
We offer RUSH SERVICE (Gold Option Customers)
1day, 3day turn arounds Available for most documents (some restrictions apply).
The normal processing time is controlled by two major factors, what type
of document you have and what country is going to and what state it's from.
As an example, a document from the FBI involves more steps and has more rules to follow than a document from Texas state or a power of attorney. Out of state documents always take a little longer than Texas Documents. If your document originates in Texas it can usually be completed quicker than a document from out of state like California or New York. Ask us and we will tell you when to expect your completion.
Average Completion Time
There really is no average completion time because each document is different, For most local Texas documents you will have it back in your hands in about 1 week.
The Silver option (cheapest option) take longer. Processing does not happen on weekends, state and federal holidays because governments are closed on holidays. Federal documents or Consulate/Embassy Legalizations have an entirely different timeline. Call to inquire.
Consulate/Embassy Legalization

All foreign consulates and embassy offices for document legalization (located in the USA) .
