Existing document or rejection
Use free review for already notarized documents, rejected files, apostille-bound documents, recipient instructions, or route confusion.
Email documentFree document review
Review the document before choosing the wrong service.
Use this page when the document already exists and you need the next step confirmed before paying for notarization, apostille, legalization, certified-copy handling, or a recipient correction.
What to send
The useful answer comes from the file and destination.
Send the current document, the destination country or receiving party, and any rejection notice or written instruction. If the document was already notarized, include the notarized version exactly as it exists now.
Free review is meant to identify the next route. It may lead to online notarization, apostille handling, legalization review, certified-copy work, a corrected notarial certificate, or a decision that the issuing office must be used instead.
Send by email
Attach the document and include the destination country, deadline, and what the recipient asked for.
Choose the lane
Review is not the same as upload, ID validation, or Form 1583.
These paths are intentionally separate so customers do not get pushed into the wrong workflow.
Document needs notarization
Use upload when you already know the signer-created document needs a live online notary act.
Upload documentIdentity check only
Use identity validation when support told you to complete it or when you are preparing a passport for a later session.

Free review is not legal advice.
Notary Geek can review document routing, notarial-certificate issues, apostille readiness, legalization questions, identity-workflow fit, and practical recipient problems. We do not provide legal, tax, immigration, banking, formation, residency, or address-acceptance advice.
If the next step becomes more than a quick route review, support will say so before turning it into a paid service.
Common review outcomes
Notarize first, then apostille.
Use the issuing office instead of notarizing a copy.
Correct the certificate or get a fresh signature.
Send for apostille or legalization handling.
