Apostille rejection usually happens because the document was not prepared correctly before submission. The apostille office does not fix the document for you. It accepts or rejects what is submitted.
Apostille Global Services checks the document before submission to help identify problems such as:
A document review helps catch these problems before time and money are wasted.
The issuing authority determines the apostille route. A state apostille is usually used for documents issued or notarized under state authority, such as vital records, notarized powers of attorney, school records, court documents, and business filings.
A federal apostille or authentication is usually used for documents issued by federal agencies, such as FBI background checks, Food and Drug Administration documents, Internal Revenue Service letters, Social Security Administration letters, and certain federal court documents. Submitting the document to the wrong office creates delays. Apostille Global Services reviews the document first so the route is clear.
A certified copy is issued by a government office, court, school, agency, or authorized records office. A notarized copy is a document or copy that has been signed or certified before a notary. These are not the same thing.
Some documents must be certified copies. Others must be notarized. Some cannot be apostilled as plain copies at all. Apostille Global Services reviews the document type before submission so the correct version is used.
Before preparing your packet, we review:
This review helps prevent avoidable rejection and gives you a clearer path before you spend money on the wrong process.
Clients choose Apostille Global Services because apostille requirements are confusing, state rules vary, and international authorities often reject documents that are not prepared correctly. We review documents before submission, explain the correct route, prepare packets carefully, coordinate shipping, and help clients avoid common mistakes. Built for clients who want clarity, tracking, and a process that feels organized from the beginning.
Apostille pricing depends on the document type, issuing state, number of documents, government fees, shipping method, retrieval needs, translation needs, and whether expedited handling is requested.
