Documents used outside the United States often require notarization. We notarize documents intended for international use.

Why International Documents Need Notarization

Documents used in other countries often require notarization as a first step before obtaining an apostille or authentication. Many countries require notarized documents to be authenticated through the apostille process for legal recognition abroad.

Common International Documents

We notarize various documents for international use:

  • Power of attorney documents
  • Educational diplomas and transcripts
  • Birth certificates
  • Marriage certificates
  • Business documents
  • Legal documents

Apostille and Authentication

After notarization, documents may need an apostille or authentication for use in other countries. We can assist with notarization and provide guidance on the apostille process.

What to Bring

To have your international document notarized, please bring:

  • Valid government-issued photo ID
  • Unsigned document (do not sign before arriving)
  • Any specific requirements from the destination country

Important Notice

We do not prepare international documents or provide legal advice. We verify identities and witness signatures only. For document preparation or legal guidance, consult with an attorney. We are not a law firm.
