What Is Document Authentication?
Document authentication is the process of verifying that a document is genuine and that the signatures and seals on it are valid, so that it will be accepted by foreign governments, embassies, or international institutions. It is required when a document crosses national borders for legal, business, or personal purposes.
Authentication typically involves a chain of certifications: notarization, state-level authentication, and embassy or consular legalization. We manage the entire chain on your behalf, ensuring your documents meet the exact requirements of the destination country.

Our Process
Document Assessment
We review your documents and determine the correct authentication chain required for the destination country.
State or Federal Authentication
Documents are first authenticated at the state level (Secretary of State) or federal level (U.S. Department of State) as appropriate.
Embassy Legalization
For countries that require embassy legalization rather than apostille, we submit your documents to the relevant embassy or consulate.

We verify that all seals, signatures, and certifications are in order before returning the documents.
Delivery
You receive your fully authenticated documents ready for submission to the foreign authority.
