Apostille
It is a different process from notarization, and we treat it as such.
Who issues it
The apostille is issued by a government authority, not by ReaNotary. We can manage it, but that does not make us the issuer.
Why it is kept separate
- The notarial fee is never mixed with government fees or shipping.
- It requires physical custody of the original document, with every handoff logged.
- It has its own timeline, which depends on the authority and not on us.
Which countries are in the Convention
This reference distinguishes countries where the Apostille Convention is in force with the United States from countries outside it. The current HCCH table lists no outstanding United States objection to a contracting party.

We do not offer it yet
We do not publish timelines or prices until they are broken down by jurisdiction and authority. We would rather not offer it than offer it with figures that later change.
Knowing this does not mean we handle apostilles yet. We do not. This page explains the subject; the service is still not open.
This informs, it does not advise. A country being in the Convention does not guarantee that whoever receives your document will accept it: that depends on the recipient and on the law that applies to them. If the matter is delicate, talk to a lawyer.
