An apostille certifies your Texas-issued document for legal use in another country. If you're relocating abroad, expanding a business internationally, enrolling in a foreign university, or handling a cross-border legal matter, most countries will require this certification before they'll accept a U.S. document as valid.
Avansa Solutions handles the full process for you — from courier pickup at the Texas Secretary of State's office to return delivery — so you don't have to navigate the state process yourself or lose time to the standard mail-in turnaround.
Not sure if your document needs to be notarized first?
Not every document goes straight to apostille. Texas splits into two paths:
Already good to file “Recordable Documents— birth/death/marriage certificates, court records, background checks, and most corporate documents (Articles of Incorporation, Certificates of Good Standing, EIN letters) can be filed for apostille as-is.
Needs notarization first “Non Recordable Documents — Powers of attorney, affidavits, contracts, and corporate resolutions must be notarized before the Secretary of State will apostille them. If your document falls in this category and isn't notarized yet, we can notarize it for you online before filing — no in-person appointment required.
