What Is International Notarization & Apostille Services

When your documents need to be submitted abroad — for immigration, business, education, or legal purposes — they must be properly authenticated. This often includes:

• Notarization by a U.S. notary public

• Apostille certification (for Hague Convention countries)

• Consular legalization (for non-Hague countries)

  
  

At Notary of Lewis Center, we guide you through every step of this process. We ensure your documents are valid, accepted internationally, and submitted correctly the first time.

Embassy & Consulate Notary Support

Each embassy and consulate has its own rules for notarized and attested documents. We understand these requirements and help you prepare the correct format. This includes notarization, language compliance, apostille vs. legalization, and more.

The Importance of International Notarization

International notarization is crucial for ensuring that your documents are recognized and accepted in foreign jurisdictions. Without proper notarization, your documents may be rejected, causing delays and complications.

Understanding the specific requirements for each country can be overwhelming. That’s where we come in. Our expertise ensures that your documents meet all necessary standards.

Common Scenarios Requiring International Notarization

There are several situations where international notarization is essential. Here are some common scenarios:

1. Immigration Applications: Many countries require notarized documents for visa applications. This ensures that your identity and intentions are verified.

2. Business Transactions: When entering into contracts with foreign entities, notarization provides legal protection and authenticity.

3. Educational Purposes: Students studying abroad often need notarized transcripts and diplomas for enrollment.

   
   

4. Legal Matters: Whether it’s a divorce, custody case, or property transaction, notarized documents can be critical.
