What is an Apostille and why do I need it?
An “Apostille” is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. This is the form that will make your marriage legal in your country.
You can spend several days or weeks trying to figure out how to obtain an Apostille and up to two months waiting for your documents to arrive, that is IF you have not made any errors in the application process; OR you can hire our professional Apostille Service and be assured that there will be no errors and that you will receive your documents in a timely manner.
Let us take this important, complicated, and time-consuming process off your hands.
The Apostille Service will include one Certified Marriage Certificate and the Apostille Certification will be attached to that.
Here are the options:
175 for Basic Apostille Service. This will take 10 - 12 weeks to reach you, depending on the Country it is being sent to. You can add the DHL Express shipping to this Basic Apostille Service and you should receive it in 6 - 8 weeks.
300 for Expedited Apostille Service. This will have the Apostille ready in about 7 - 10 days. You will be able to pick it up from Paradise Wedding Chapel in approximately 10 days (depending on weekends, holidays, and the workload at the Secretary of State’s office), or you can add standard USPS mail service or the DHL Express Shipping and we will send it to you.
60 for DHL Express Shipping (for most countries - this charge can be as much as $120.). This can be added to either the Basic or Expedited Service and will reach you in 3-7 days from the time we receive the documents back from the Secretary of State, depending on the Country.
Apostille Service includes one Certified Marriage Certificate that will be mailed to you along with your Apostille.
