US Authentication Services Takes the Confusion Out of Document Authentication

If you are moving out of the country, and are looking to have documents authenticated, you probably already know that this can be a complicated and confusing process.

Why is hiring a professional so incredibly helpful for your authentication needs?  The document authentication process, also known as chain authentication, is a procedure which needs to be carried out in a particular sequential order; this includes notarizing a document, obtaining Secretary of State Certification, US State Department authentication and Embassy legalization. Our expertise will eliminate any confusion on your part. You'll know exactly how to proceed and exactly what to expect.

Document authentication is necessary for many types of documents. Some examples of personal documents include university diplomas or degrees, transcripts, vital documents (such as birth and marriage certificates), power of attorney authorizations and many more. Examples of commercial documents include distributor agreements, incorporation documents, appointment of directors, IRS documents, patent agreements, certificates of origin, commercial invoices, certificate to foreign governments, and more. Authentication of documents means the respective state, federal, and foreign embassy officials validate the signature of the government or signatory official. The difference between an apostille process and an authentication process is such that, after the Department of State Authentication is obtained from the Office of Authentications, the document is ready to be submitted to the embassy of the respective country.
