What Is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a certificate issued by a government authority that confirms a public document is genuine. It is commonly needed when you are sending official documents to another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Instead of you contacting multiple offices or agencies, Right Sign Notary coordinates the Apostille process for you from start to finish.

You may need an Apostille if you are sending documents abroad for work, school, legal matters, business, or immigration. Our goal is to make that process straightforward and stress-free.

How Our Apostille Service Works

Right Sign Notary is a mobile service, which means we come to you. Here is how the Apostille process works from your first call to final delivery.

1. Submit Your Document

Contact Right Sign Notary to review your situation and the country requesting your document. We’ll confirm what is needed and meet you at a convenient time and location in Central Pennsylvania to review and notarize your document if required.

2. We Handle the Authentication

Once we have your document, we coordinate with the appropriate state and, when needed, federal offices to obtain the Apostille. We track the details and timelines so you don’t have to.

3. Receive Your Apostille-Ready Document

When the Apostille is complete, we arrange secure delivery or a mobile hand-off of your Apostille-ready document. You’ll have what you need to submit to the foreign agency, school, employer, or court.
