Official sources

Official apostille resources: what to check, and why

Start with the document and its intended use. Then check whether authentication is required at all. If it is, identify the applicable route and the authority competent for the signature or record. Official sources are available directly; using Notary Geek is optional.

Your next step

Put Notary Geek to work on your document.

We obtain eligible official records, provide online notarization on our own platform when needed, and manage agreed apostille handling and delivery. Choose the starting point for your document; official records may need no notarization.

Only need an official record or certified copy? Read about record-only scope. No apostille request or signer intake is required to read that guidance.

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

Delaware requests should start with the company name, document type, destination country, deadline, and delivery need. Delaware is a handled-service lane for customers who want Notary Geek to deal with the state rush request, FedEx-account return constraints, scan-back, repackaging, and outbound DHL/FedEx delivery. Notary Geek generally accepts Delaware company-record apostille work only when the customer is ready for Delaware 24-hour rush or higher state handling. If the same package includes a signer-created document, that document is scoped as a separate notary route.

Step 3

3. You get one quote

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

State source and HCCH

Use the state source and HCCH together.

Start with the linked state government page for current fees, forms, and mailing rules. Then use HCCH for the destination-country side. The customer is not deciding apostille versus legalization. The destination country and the issuing authority determine the correct route, including whether the handling stays with a state office or moves through a federal authority.
