When your documents are heading overseas, there’s no room for small errors. We’ve seen a single missing signature or incorrect date turn a simple apostille request into a month-long delay. The good news is, these mistakes are easy to avoid when you know what to look for.

Before you submit a document for apostille, double-check:

  1. The document has been notarized by a qualified Georgia notary public.
  2. All names are spelled exactly as they appear on official identification.
  3. Any seals or stamps are clear and complete.
  4. You have the correct type of document, not a photocopy, unless it has been certified as a true copy.

At Elite Notary Signing, we walk you through these details before your paperwork ever leaves our hands. That way, your documents arrive ready for processing and on time.

If you are sending important documents abroad, let us help you get it right the first time. Call 470-315-9908 or visit our Apostille Services page to start today.
