Texas Apostille Services

Professional Apostille Services for Personal, Business & Legal Documents

If you need to use a document outside the United States, you may be required to obtain an apostille or other document authentication before it will be accepted by a foreign government, university, employer, or business.

At Certified Notary Express, we simplify the apostille process by reviewing your documents, identifying the correct requirements, and managing the submission process on your behalf. Whether your documents are issued by the State of Texas or a federal agency, we're here to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. The Texas Secretary of State issues apostilles for eligible Texas public records and notarized documents.

We proudly serve clients throughout Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Mansfield, Plano, Frisco, McKinney, Irving, Grand Prairie, Denton, and surrounding North Texas communities, while also offering secure nationwide mail-in apostille services.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document or notarized document so it can be recognized in another country. Texas issues a universal apostille for eligible Texas public records and notarized documents. Some countries may still require additional steps after the Texas apostille if they are not part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
