When your documents are headed to a country outside the Hague Apostille Convention, they require a more detailed process known as authentication and consular legalization — not a standard Apostille. We handle the entire procedure to ensure your paperwork is valid overseas.

Common international legalization cases include:

• Birth and marriage certificates used in non-Hague countries.

• Business contracts or corporate filings for foreign offices or investors.

• Diplomas and professional credentials submitted abroad.

• Powers of attorney or affidavits required for real estate, banking, or legal use.

Our process includes:

• Authenticating notarized or certified records through the Nevada Secretary of State.

• Coordinating U.S. Department of State certification (if required).

• Managing embassy or consulate legalization for final approval.

We verify every signature, seal, and stamp to ensure your documents meet both Nevada and international requirements before leaving the country. This ensures acceptance in nations such as China, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, and Vietnam, where Apostilles are not recognized.

Not all countries accept an Apostille. Some require additional steps known as authentication and legalization. Understanding the difference helps you choose the correct path — and prevents costly delays.

Apostille:
Used for countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
It verifies the authenticity of public documents such as birth certificates, powers of attorney, or corporate filings.

Authentication:
Used for countries not in the Hague Convention.
Documents must first be certified by the Nevada Secretary of State, then authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, and finally legalized by the destination country’s consulate or embassy.

We handle both processes and guide you from start to finish, ensuring your documents meet every Nevada and international requirement.

When documents are issued outside Nevada, they can still be authenticated through the Secretary of State in the state of origin. Every U.S. state and territory follows its own process for verifying public records and issuing Apostilles in compliance with the Hague Convention.

Common nationwide Apostille requests include:

• Birth and marriage certificates issued in other states.

• Educational diplomas and transcripts from out-of-state schools.

• Corporate filings or contracts registered in different jurisdictions.

• Federal documents such as FBI background checks or U.S. court records.

Each state’s Secretary of State office is responsible for Apostilles on its own records, while federal documents are handled by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. Understanding which authority to contact ensures that your paperwork is correctly certified and accepted abroad.
