Packing List Apostille & Legalization Services
Packing List
Digital / Online
Notarized
Certify your shipping and logistics documents for international trade compliance. A Packing List is a vital export document that provides detailed information about shipped goods, including item descriptions, quantities, weights, packaging type, and shipment structure. Foreign customs authorities, freight forwarders, import regulators, and international buyers often require a properly authenticated Packing List to verify cargo accuracy and ensure smooth customs clearance.
At US Apostille, we specialize in the expedited authentication of Packing Lists for exporters, manufacturers, logistics companies, and international trading firms. We manage the Apostille and Embassy Legalization process to ensure your shipping documents are accepted worldwide without delays in just 1 business day.
Mandatory: Notarization & Signature Requirements
Important Requirement:
Because a Packing List is considered a private commercial shipping document, it must be properly signed and notarized before Apostille processing can begin.
Requirements include:
The document must be signed by the authorized company representative or logistics officer
The signer must clearly print or type his/her full name
The signature must be notarized by a licensed local Notary Public
Failure to meet these requirements may result in rejection by the Secretary of State or foreign authorities.
Digital & Physical Submission Options
1. Digital (PDF) Submission — Apostille Processing
We accept digitally prepared Packing Lists for Apostille processing when:
The document includes a valid notarization
