Apostille Support

If you need a document authenticated for use in another country, LLBK Legacy can help guide you through the apostille process.


How does apostille support work?


LLBK Legacy helps guide you through the apostille process by identifying which documents typically require an apostille, assisting with document preparation, and providing support throughout submission. We do not issue apostilles ourselves; they are issued by the New York Department of State or other appropriate authenticating authority.


What's Included

Note: Apostille requirements vary by country and document type; we recommend confirming specific requirements with the receiving party.


How It Works


Step 1: Tell us which document needs an apostille and its intended country of use.

Step 2: We review general requirements and help you understand the process for that document type.

Step 3: We help prepare and route the document toward the appropriate New York State authentication authority.

Step 4: You receive your apostilled document for use abroad.


What to Prepare


The original document, or a certified copy, in acceptable condition

Any prior notarization or certification the document may require before an apostille can be issued

The name of the country where the document will be used

Time for processing, as apostille turnaround varies by document and issuing office


Frequently Asked Questions


What is an apostille?

An apostille is a form of authentication that certifies a document for use in a foreign country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention.


Can you tell me whether my document needs an apostille?

Requirements vary by country and document type. We provide general guidance, but recommend confirming specific requirements with the receiving party or foreign authority.


Do you issue the apostille yourselves?

No. Apostilles are issued by the New York Department of State or other appropriate authenticating authority. LLBK Legacy assists with preparation and submission guidance.


How long does the apostille process take?

Processing time depends on the issuing authority and current volume. We will provide an estimated timeframe when we review your document.


Is my request guaranteed to result in an apostille?

A request for assistance does not guarantee that an apostille will be issued. Issuance depends on the issuing authority's requirements and the document's eligibility.


Will the foreign country or agency accept my apostilled document?

LLBK Legacy cannot guarantee acceptance by any foreign authority, agency, or institution. Please confirm specific requirements with the receiving party in advance.
