Certificate of Incorporation Apostille & Legalization
Certificate of Incorporation
Digital / Online
Certify your company’s legal birthright instantly. The Certificate of Incorporation is the official document issued by the Secretary of State confirming your business is legally formed. For global banking, international mergers, or setting up foreign branches, this document must be officially apostilled.
At US Apostille, we leverage the latest digital government standards to provide the fastest authentication for Certificates of Incorporation from all 50 U.S. States.
We Accept Digital Certified Copies (PDF)
You no longer need to wait for mail in many cases. If your state issues digital corporate documents, we can process them immediately.
1. Digital (PDF) Submission - Fast & Easy:
We accept Electronic Certified Copies (PDFs) that include a Verification ID, QR Code, or Digital Secretary of State Signature.
States like Delaware, Wyoming, Florida, and Texas provide these instantly.
How to proceed: Simply upload your digital PDF to our portal. We will verify it and secure your Apostille through our Maryland hub in one business day.
2. Physical (Original) Submission:
If your state only issues certificates on security paper with a raised/embossed seal.
If the destination country is a Non-Hague country (like UAE, China, or Kuwait) which often requires the physical "Wet-Ink" certified copy for embassy legalization.
In these cases, you will need to mail the physical copy to our office.
