At USCIS Translations, we understand the difficulty involved in ensuring your documents are legally recognized abroad. Our Apostille services are designed to help you obtain the necessary Apostille on your original documents before translation, or on your translated documents for use in a foreign country.
An Apostille is a special certification issued by a competent authority (usually a Secretary of State) that verifies the authenticity of your official document. It simplifies the authentication process for documents originating in one Hague Convention member country and intended for use in another. The Hague Convention is an international treaty that eliminates the need for additional legalization steps between member countries. (For countries not part of the Hague Convention, a more complex legalization process may be required. We recommend contacting the embassy or consulate of the destination country for specific requirements.)
We offer Apostilles on documents in the following countries:
| Australia | Canada |
| France | Germany |
| Netherlands | Italy |
| Ireland | Spain |
| United States | United Kingdom |
Delivery timelines differ based on the country issuing the Apostille, and are usually within 3-5 days for the United Kingdom, and up to 3 weeks for other countries. We will advise on the expected delivery timelines once we receive your order.

An Apostille is a certification that ensures your document will be recognized in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.
Common documents include birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic records, and legal agreements can be Apostilled.
The process usually takes a few business days, but the timeline can vary depending on the specific requirements and volume of documents you need legalisation for.
An apostille is a simplified certification issued for documents to be used in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the authenticity of the document’s signature and seal, making it valid in the other member countries.
Legalization, on the other hand, is a more complex process required for documents to be used in countries that are not members of the Hague Apostille Convention. It involves multiple steps, including certification by the relevant government department and attestation by the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
