Obtaining an apostille on your documents
Do you need to apostille your documents through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.?
Rai’s Apostille Service has a team of experts who offer a dedicated apostille service. Expect quick and low-cost services.
Apostille Certificates are issued under a Convention of the Hague Conference and shall be recognized in over 60 member states. But many non-member states also recognize the Apostille Certificate and seal. If your document was issued in the USA and you need to use it in the country that is also a party of the Convention, you will need an apostille at the U.S. Department of State.
Entrust this complex procedure to our experts! Our team has varied experience in the U.S. legalization procedures. We are also knowledgeable of the requirements of foreign receiving agencies. Our goal is to make sure your documents will be accepted in the country of intended use.
Types of documents may include:
- Company bylaws
- Articles of incorporation
- Power of attorney
- Diplomas
- Transcripts
- Letters relating to degrees
- Marital status
- Job certifications
- Home studies
- Deeds of assignments
- Distributorship agreements
- Papers for adoption purposes

Why It Matters
If your document was issued in the U.S. and needs to be used in a Hague Convention country, it must go through the U.S. Department of State for authentication. Without the correct apostille, your documents may be rejected or delayed, causing legal and business complications.
Some common situations where a U.S. Department of State Apostille is required include:
International Business Transactions – Verifying business documents abroad
Overseas Education & Employment – Authenticating diplomas, transcripts, and certifications
Legal & Personal Affairs – Recognizing marriage, divorce, and adoption paperwork in foreign jurisdictions
Corporate & Government Use – Ensuring compliance with international laws for power of attorney, bylaws, and agreements
Navigating U.S. legalization procedures can be time-consuming and confusing. Our team at Rai’s Apostille Service has extensive experience, ensuring your documents are processed correctly and accepted internationally.
