Apostille assistance Delaware helps individuals and businesses prepare documents for apostille or authentication.
Apostille & Document Authentication Assistance
Empire National Document Services provides professional apostille and document authentication assistance for individuals, families, businesses, and organizations that need documents prepared for use outside the United States.
We help make the process easier by assisting with document preparation, notarization coordination when applicable, submission logistics, and return of completed documents.
Apostille requirements vary depending on the document, issuing authority, destination country, and type of authentication required.
What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a form of authentication used to certify the origin of a public document for use in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention.
An apostille generally authenticates the signature, seal, or stamp of the official who signed or issued the document. It does not certify the truthfulness of the information contained in the document.
Documents that may require an apostille include:
- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Divorce decrees
- Death certificates
- Powers of attorney
- School and educational records
- Diplomas and transcripts
- Business and corporate documents
- Court documents
- Notarized documents
- Other public or properly notarized documents
Requirements depend on the document and the country where it will be used.
How Our Apostille Assistance Works
01 — Tell Us What You Need
Provide information about the document, the state where it was issued or notarized, and the country where the document will be used.
02 — Document Review
We review the information you provide and identify the general authentication or apostille process that may apply.
03 — Prepare & Submit
When authorized, we assist with preparing and submitting the document through the appropriate authentication process.
