If you need assistance with document authentication service for an apostille, or certification, we can assist you immediately. We provide expedited services at no additional cost to you. On the state level, our Alabama document legalisation service is completed within 3 to 5 business days for an apostille document that will be used for accreditation in a country that is a member of the Hague convention.
If the country in which your documents will be used is not a member of the Hague convention, the additional process must pass through our local Probate Office and the Secretary of State Office. To complete the process, the documents must also pass through the State Department in Washington DC, and the Embassy, or a Consulate Office. The lead time for this process would be 15 to 30 business days. We will keep you updated as the documents are processed. We welcome your quote request for document authentication service. Be sure to refer to our clients testimonials on this site.
Alabama document's must be apostilled or certified so that you can use them in another country for accreditation. Depending on which country your document will be used in, will determine on which authentication service we process. Your document must be verified and examined by "Alabama Notary Services" to ensure the document is authentic.
The document must be the original and may require supporting documents to determine the authenticity. If your document is a diploma or grade transcripts, it must be mailed directly to us by the school or university. The school or university will need to notarize the documents if they have a notary available, if not we can notarize the documents.
The Authentication Division of the Office of the Secretary of State is responsible for providing authentication services for documents that will be used in foreign countries. These documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, statements of marital status, articles of incorporation, corporate bylaws, certificates of merger, powers of attorney, diplomas, school transcripts, deeds and ABI background checks.
There are two types of authentications. The type of authentication your document requires for foreign use is based upon the country in which the document will be used. If the country in which the document(s) will be used is party to the Hague Convention, an Apostille is affixed to documents. If the country in which the document(s) is to be used is not part of the Hague Convention, a Certification is affixed to document(s). Please note that there is a difference between Members of the Hague Conference and Parties to the Hague Convention.
