Our Services

Authenticate it. Then prove it's real.

Two services, one trusted record. We apostille your academic documents for international use — and verify, at the source, that the degree was genuinely earned.

Apostille & Authentication

We make your diplomas, transcripts, and credentials legally recognized abroad — notarization, Secretary of State apostille, federal authentication, and embassy legalization, handled end to end.

For use in 125+ countries
How the apostille process works

When a foreign university, employer, or government needs proof your document is genuine, an apostille provides it. We administer the full statutory chain so your record is accepted under the Hague Convention — or legalized through an embassy for non-member countries.

  1. Review — We confirm the institution type and the correct state or federal path.
  2. Notarize — Private-institution records are notarized to create a verifiable chain.
  3. Apostille — Submitted to the Secretary of State or U.S. Department of State.
  4. Return — Certified document returned, with translation and legalization as needed.

Credential Verification

Acting as your authorized agent, we obtain verification from the authoritative source — the National Student Clearinghouse, the registrar, or a credential evaluator — and issue a signed report stating what that source confirmed, paired with your apostille. From $125.

Source-confirmed & reference-numbered
How verification works

An apostille certifies a document is genuine; it does not confirm the academic claim behind it. We close that gap — obtaining verification from the authoritative source and reporting what the source's records reflect. We attest to the source's response, not an independent guarantee.

  1. Intake & Consent — We collect the record and the holder's signed release authorizing verification.
  2. Source Inquiry — We query the registrar, the National Student Clearinghouse, or the issuing institution directly.
  3. Audit & Match — We reconcile attendance, credits, degree, and dates against the official record.
  4. Report — We issue a signed, reference-numbered verification report, pairable with the apostille.
What we confirm
  • Attendance, credits, and completion
  • Degree, major, and conferral date
  • Issued by an accredited institution
  • Document integrity — seals & signatures

03 — Certified / Sworn Translation

Your records, accurately rendered in the destination language.

Many consulates and foreign institutions require a certified or sworn translation alongside the apostille. We provide certified translations of diplomas, transcripts, and academic letters — completed by qualified translators and accompanied by a signed certificate of accuracy accepted for official use.

Certified Translation

Faithful translation with a signed certificate of accuracy for embassies, universities, and licensing boards.

Sworn Translation

Performed by a sworn or court-authorized translator where the destination country requires it.

Apostille-Ready Pairing

Translations prepared to sit alongside your apostilled original so the set is accepted together.

04 — Embassy & Consulate Legalization

For countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention.

When your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, an apostille alone is not enough — the document must be legalized through that country's embassy or consulate. We manage the full chain: notarization, Secretary of State or federal authentication, and final embassy or consulate legalization.

1Authenticate

State or federal authentication of your academic record.

2Translate

Certified translation added when the consulate requires it.

3Legalize

Submission to the destination country's embassy or consulate.

4Return

We are not a government agency and are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the U.S. Department of State, any Secretary of State, or any other government office. "Apostille" refers to the authentication issued by the competent government authority, which we facilitate on your behalf.
