Streamline your international product launches with professional federal authentication for your EC Certificates. If you are exporting medical devices, machinery, or electrical equipment to global markets, an EC Certificate (issued by an EU Notified Body) is essential to prove regulatory conformity. However, when presenting these European compliance documents to regulatory agencies outside of the EU, a legal validation is typically required.
At US Apostille, we specialize in navigating the complex federal authentication process. We ensure your EC Certificates and Declarations of Conformity are processed seamlessly, securing your Federal Apostille or Embassy Legalization in just 9 business days.
We Accept Both Digital & Physical EC Certificates
International compliance demands efficiency. We process both digitally-issued EC certificates and traditional paper documents to fit your export timelines.
1. Digital (PDF) Submission — Fast & Seamless
How it works: If your European Notified Body issued your EC Certificate or Design Examination Certificate as a secure digital PDF, you can upload the original file directly to our portal.
The Benefit: No printing or expensive international courier shipping. We verify the digital credentials and process the document directly for Federal Apostille.
2. Physical (Hard Copy) Submission
How it works: If your certificate has physical "wet-ink" signatures, official stamps, or holographic security seals, you must mail the physical document to our office.
When it is required: This step is mandatory if the destination country (such as China, Egypt, or Saudi Arabia) requires a physical original for full Embassy Legalization.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. A scan of a physical paper document is not a digital original. You must provide the original, secure PDF issued electronically by your EU Notified Body, or mail the physical paper original to our office. The U.S. Department of State rejects standard scans.
It depends on the destination. If the importing country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, a Federal Apostille is all you need. However, for non-Hague countries (e.g., the Middle East, parts of Asia, or South America), you will need a multi-step Embassy Legalization process after the Federal Apostille is complete. We manage this entire workflow for you.
Because CE certificates and Certificates of Free Sale (CFS) often have tight regulatory deadlines, we prioritize these corporate documents. We expedite the authentication process to ensure your paperwork is legally recognized well before its expiration date.
Yes. We frequently process EC Certificates in tandem with your manufacturer's Declaration of Conformity or Certificate of Free Sale. If you have a complete compliance packet, we can authenticate all accompanying documents together.
