Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike agencies that rely on the mail, we are located in Maryland. We hand-carry documents directly to the Secretary of State’s office in Annapolis. Because we submit your paperwork in person, we bypass the standard mail-in backlog, allowing us to return your apostilled documents in just one business day.
Maryland’s SDAT system (Department of Assessments and Taxation) is highly advanced. We can process electronic Certificates of Status (Good Standing) and Certified Copies of Articles instantly. You simply upload your digital PDF to our portal, and we take it to Annapolis for you—no physical mailing required.
For certain documents, like those notarized by a local notary, Maryland requires the Clerk of the Circuit Court to certify the notary's signature before the Secretary of State will issue an Apostille. Because we are local, we handle this extra step at the courthouse for you, ensuring a seamless "Triple Certification" without you having to visit multiple government buildings.

Once your diploma or transcript is notarized, we hand-carry it through the Circuit Court (if necessary) and the Secretary of State. This is the fastest way for Maryland graduates to secure international work or study visas.
For these "Non-Hague" countries, a Maryland Apostille is only the first step. Your documents require full Embassy Legalization. We manage the entire chain: the MD Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State in D.C., and the final Embassy seal. Being located between Annapolis and D.C. makes us the most efficient choice for this multi-step process.
