Terms & Conditions

Apostille Near Me is a private document authentication and coordination service. Apostille Near Me is a private document authentication and coordination service. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal or immigration advice. We are not affiliated with the U.S. Department of State, any Secretary of State, or any government agency. Clients are responsible for confirming the requirements of the authority receiving each document.

We prepare, submit, and track apostilles and authentications, and — where you ask us to — obtain the underlying records, arrange notarization, and coordinate certified translation. Depending on the document and the state where it was issued, we file through our national network of local agents, processing partners, or tracked shipping directly to the appropriate authority.

We provide a flat, all-in quote before any work begins. Quotes are based on the information you give us; if the actual document, document count, destination, or required steps differ, the price may change and we will confirm any change with you first. No work starts until you approve the quote.

Any timeframe we provide is a good-faith estimate, not a guarantee. A significant part of the process is controlled by government offices (such as a Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State) and by shipping carriers, whose processing times can change and are outside our control.

You are responsible for giving us accurate information and valid documents, and for confirming the specific requirements of the authority or party that will receive your document abroad. Requirements vary by country and by receiving institution; we can advise based on our experience, but we cannot guarantee a foreign authority’s decision.

You send us your documents or copies as required for the service. While documents are in transit, they are subject to the carrier’s handling; we use tracked, insured shipping where appropriate, but we are not responsible for delays, loss, or damage caused by carriers or third parties outside our reasonable control.

An apostille or authentication certifies the seal and signature of the public official on a document. It does not certify the content of the document, and it does not guarantee that a receiving country, agency, or institution will accept the document for a particular purpose.

Fees are due as stated in your quote or order. Government filing fees are generally non-refundable once a document has been submitted to an issuing authority. If you need to cancel or have a concern about your order, contact us as soon as possible and we will work with you in good faith on any service-fee adjustment.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Apostille Near Me is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, and our total liability for any claim arising from our services is limited to the amount of the service fees you paid for the order at issue. Nothing in these terms limits any rights that cannot be limited under applicable law.
