Apostille Services in Irving, Texas

An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Texas Secretary of State that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. You need an apostille when your documents must be recognized as legally valid in another country—common examples include birth certificates for immigration, marriage licenses for residing abroad, academic records for international study, and business documents for foreign operations. Our Irving-based service helps prepare and process your documents for apostille certification, ensuring they meet all requirements for international acceptance.

Our Irving-based apostille services start at $95 for office visits and $125 for mobile service where we come to your location in Irving, Las Colinas, Valley Ranch, or throughout the DFW metroplex. This includes document review, notarization if needed, and preparation for submission to the Texas Secretary of State. The Texas Secretary of State charges additional fees ($15 per document) for the official apostille, and expedited processing options are available for an additional fee. Complex document packages or corporate documents may require additional services at customized rates.

The standard processing time for apostilles through the Texas Secretary of State is typically 3-5 business days after they receive properly prepared documents. Our Irving-based service offers same-day preparation of your documents, ensuring they’re ready for submission immediately. We also offer expedited apostille services with processing times as quick as 24-48 hours for urgent situations.

Yes! Our Irving-based apostille service can handle document authentication for multiple countries simultaneously. If you need the same document recognized in several Hague Convention countries, we can obtain multiple apostilles. For non-Hague countries that require consular legalization, we can process your documents through both the Texas Secretary of State and the appropriate consulates or embassies. Our team is experienced in the specific requirements for dozens of countries and will guide you through the exact process needed for each destination where your documents will be used.

An apostille is a simplified authentication certificate used between countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention (approximately 120 countries). Consular legalization is required for countries that are NOT part of this convention, involving additional steps where documents must be verified by the embassy or consulate of the destination country. Our Irving-based service handles both processes, guiding you through either apostille or consular legalization depending on your destination country. If you’re unsure which process applies to your situation, our specialists can quickly determine this based on your target country and document type.
