Certified Legal Services

A notary public is a person who has been legally authorized by a state government to administer oaths, witness the signing of documents, and deter fraud by verifying the identity of a person who signs a document. Their duties are to ensure that the documents they notarize are executed in accordance with the law and to maintain records of their notarial acts. 

An Apostille Agent, on the other hand, assists in obtaining certifications (Apostilles) of notarized, public, and vital documents so they may be used and recognized as valid (legalization) outside the United States. This is necessary because many countries require documents to be authenticated before they can be accepted as legal evidence. An Apostille Agent is well-versed in the requirements and procedures for obtaining Apostilles and can help ensure that your documents are properly certified for international use.
