1. Send the simple facts
Document type, issuing office or state, destination country, deadline, and whether you already have the document.
USPS apostille request
Start a U.S. apostille request for documents going abroad.
Send the document type, issuing state or office, destination country, deadline, and shipping need. We confirm whether you need apostille, certified copy, notary, or embassy legalization before final payment and usually ship completed international packets by DHL, with FedEx reviewed when it is materially better for a remote-area or high-rate route.
Best next step
Send the document facts first.
For apostille-only, certified-copy, and official-record work, you usually do not need a live notary session to begin. Send the record type, issuing office or company name, destination country, deadline, and shipping need.
Order flow
Start with the facts that decide the next step.
If the document is not ready, we can often still begin once the issuing office, company, or record type is clear.
2. We confirm the next step
We check whether the document stays with USPS official-record handling or needs a separate notary step.
3. We complete and ship
Once approved, we can scan back when the route fits and ship the completed packet by DHL or FedEx with tracking.
Clear before billing
Each document gets the handling that fits it.
1583 Pro helps with USPS documents. If the same order also includes a signer-created document, that document may use a Florida online notary public through Notary Geek, while the USPS record stays with the USPS apostille handling.
Official records usually follow the state or office that issued the record. Signer-created documents may need an online notary step first.
Shipping note
DHL is preferred for many international document packages. FedEx may be better for some remote-area or high-rate destinations. Scan-back is handled as part of packet control when it fits, not as a mailbox-store reship workaround.
Rare restricted or high-risk destinations may require a different option, temporary hold, or a disclosed risk-zone surcharge before final billing.
Proof you can check
Check the business and the official source.
Use official records and public profiles to verify the service. Florida online notaries handle the online notary step. Signers outside the U.S. can use a non-U.S. passport and do not need a Social Security Number.

Florida state lookup
Florida online notary and provider record
Useful when the package includes an online notary step.
Use the official state source for the document requirements themselves. Use the Florida lookup when the order also includes an online notary step through Notary Geek.
Before you start
Common questions before starting.
Do I need to upload a document to start?
Not always. If you need us to obtain an official record, start with the document type and issuing office. If you already have the document, include that detail so we can review what it needs.
What if my package includes a document that needs notarization?
That can be handled as a combined package. The official record stays with the issuing state, while a signer-created document may need Notary Geek online notarization first. We explain the separate handling before final payment.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes. Completed document packages can usually be shipped by DHL internationally, with FedEx reviewed when it is materially better for the route. Scan-back may be available before physical delivery when the packet can be scanned without creating avoidable risk. Rare destination restrictions, carrier service interruptions, or high-risk-zone surcharges are confirmed before final billing.
What if the destination country is not in the Hague Apostille Convention?
Use the same request form and mention the destination country. Non-Hague countries may need embassy or consulate legalization instead of, or in addition to, state authentication. HCCH is a core source for checking whether the destination country is within the Apostille Convention.
