Your quote covers processing, tracking, and return shipping. Standard, express, and rush timelines are priced so you can pick the speed you need.

Reserve with a deposit

A $50 deposit holds your order and is credited to your invoice. The balance is due before your document ships.

Before quoting, we confirm your document is a certified copy issued within the last five years, since older or uncertified copies are returned unprocessed. Turnaround depends on the authenticating office's current processing time.

It comes back ready

The apostilled original ships to you, or directly to the recipient overseas.

Priority partner service for healthcare facilities

Hospitals, hospice programs, skilled nursing, and assisted living communities in the Texas Medical Center area rely on outside notaries when residents and families need advance directives, medical powers of attorney, and consent forms witnessed correctly.

A priority partner arrangement gives your case managers, discharge planners, and social workers one number to call, a guaranteed response window, and a notary who already knows your intake process and privacy requirements. Staff stay out of the conflict of interest that comes with notarizing their own residents' documents.

Questions people ask

Is online notarization legal in Texas?

Yes. Texas has authorized remote online notarization since 2018. A document notarized by a Texas online notary carries the same legal effect as one notarized in person and is recognized across the United States. Some recipients set their own rules, so confirm with them if you are unsure.

Can you notarize for me if I live in another state or another country?

Yes. The notary must be in Texas during the session; you can be anywhere with a camera and internet. Overseas signers use this every day for powers of attorney, affidavits, and consent letters going back to the United States.

What is the difference between notarization and an apostille?

Notarization verifies who signed a document. An apostille is a certificate from the state or federal government that makes the document acceptable in another country. Many international documents need both, and we handle the whole chain.

How long does an apostille take?

It depends on the issuing office. Texas Secretary of State processing runs from a few days to a few weeks depending on the tier you choose, and the U.S. Department of State takes longer for federal documents. Your written quote states the expected timeline for the speed you select.

What do I need for an online session?

A government issued photo ID, the unsigned document as a PDF, and a phone or computer with a camera and microphone. Do not sign in advance; the notary must witness the signature.

How do I pay?

All services are prepaid by card through Stripe. Apostille orders start with a $50 deposit that is credited to your invoice, and the balance is due before your document ships. Online notarization is paid when you book.
