Apostille questions
Do I need to know whether my document is state or federal?
No. Tell us what the document is, who issued it, and where it is going. We identify the correct authority and confirm the requirements before anything is submitted.
How is pricing calculated?
Illinois state apostille is $150.00 for the first document and $60.00 for each additional document in the same request, with state fees included. Federal and FBI apostille is $250.00 for the first document and $150.00 for each additional. Requests that mix processing paths or involve other states are quoted after review with no automatic discount.
What is the document review fee?
A detailed document review is $25.00, and that amount is credited toward your apostille service when you place the qualifying order. A brief initial eligibility screen is free.
Can you guarantee my document will be accepted?
No. Government agencies, embassies, consulates, employers, and receiving organizations control their own acceptance decisions and processing times. We prepare and submit your documents correctly and keep you updated.
Do you handle certified translation?
Translation is available as a custom-quoted add-on. Tell us the target language on the intake form and we will price it with your order.
