FAQ

Apostille questions answered

Simple answers for common document scenarios before you submit a request.

State document handling

Delaware records stay with Delaware handling.

Delaware Apostille helps with Delaware documents. If the same order also includes a signer-created document, that document may use a Florida online notary public through Notary Geek, while the Delaware record stays with the Delaware apostille handling.

Delaware record

Official records connected to Delaware stay with the Delaware review, certified-copy, apostille, or legalization handling.

Notarized document

Signer-created documents in the same order may use Notary Geek's online notary workflow, commonly through Florida online notarization, before their own authentication step.

One quote, clear handling

We confirm how each document will be handled before final payment so the package is transparent.

Public verification

Proof you can check.

Use official records and public profiles to verify the service. Florida online notaries handle the online notary step. Signers outside the U.S. can use a non-U.S. passport and do not need a Social Security Number. Use the official state source for document requirements, then use the business and Florida verification links if the package also includes an online notary step.

Use the official state source for the document requirements themselves. If the order also includes an online notary step, use both Florida records together: one covers the online notary and provider record, and the other covers the underlying notary commission.

How it works

Simple details first, then a clear answer.

Most questions about price, timing, and next steps can be answered once the document source, destination country, and deadline are clear.

Step 1

1. Send the document facts

Start with the document type, issuing authority, destination country, deadline, and shipping needs.

Step 2

2. We check the right fit

Notary Geek generally orders Delaware apostilles and certified Delaware documents only when Delaware 24-hour rush or higher handling is being used. The common 24-hour rush lane usually works out to about three days of practical customer turnaround after route confirmation and document availability.

Step 3

3. You get one quote

We separate apostille and non-Hague legalization requirements before payment so the next step is clear.

Official source

Check the official source before choosing a service.

Use the linked government page to compare current fees, forms, and mailing rules. Use HCCH for the destination-country side. The destination country and the issuing authority determine whether the route is apostille or legalization. Then send your document details if you want help with the correct handling.
