Apostille FAQ

Maryland Apostille — Common Questions

What is an apostille and do I need one?
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document — the signature, the capacity of the official who signed it, and any seal or stamp — for use in a country that is a party to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention (Art. 3). It does not certify the document's content. For Maryland documents, the apostille is issued by the Maryland Secretary of State. Many foreign authorities require an apostille or authentication — check with the receiving authority.
How fast can I get an apostille in Maryland?
Processing time depends on the issuing authority's current queue and shipping; we confirm the current estimate when you book. Timing also depends on whether your document needs notarization, clerk certification, translation, or U.S. Department of State processing first. Same-day visits are often available for the notarization itself — call (202) 899-0067 to confirm the next available time.
Can you apostille a Maryland birth certificate or FBI background check?
Yes. We handle birth certificates, marriage certificates, FBI background checks, diplomas, powers of attorney, single-status affidavits, and corporate documents. The Maryland Secretary of State issues apostilles for Maryland documents; a notarized document is first certified by the Clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the notary was commissioned. Federally issued documents, such as FBI background checks, go to the U.S. Department of State instead. We coordinate notarization, clerk certification, the apostille, and any required translation.
Do I have to come to you?
No. We're a mobile notary — we come to your home, office, or hospital anywhere in Maryland — and we also offer Maryland-authorized remote online notarization (RON) by secure live video. Many clients complete the entire apostille process without leaving home.
How much does an apostille cost?
Total cost depends on the number of documents, notarization needs, translation, state fees, and shipping. Notarial-act fees follow Maryland law; mobile and apostille handling carry additional service charges. Every quote is provided in writing before we begin — contact us for an exact price.
Which countries accept a Maryland apostille?
Apostilles are used for countries that are parties to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention — 130 Contracting Parties on the HCCH status table (as of September 2026), including Israel, Mexico, Italy, Germany, Spain, India, and Brazil. For non-Hague countries we coordinate authentication and embassy legalization instead. In every case, the receiving authority decides whether a particular document meets its requirements.
