Thread Question:

If you are adopting a child from a foreign country, you could run into a word called apostille. But since i have about 27 documents to get apostilled, how do i cut down the fee paid to secretary of state?

What you do is, write a letter to secretary of state, to waive the fee involved in number of apostilles. If you succeed in convincing them, they will absolutely consider your case of international adoption of a child.

Greg Harvey, has an excellent site dedicated to this issue. May be his letter writing format could help you. Here is the link: http://www.geocities.com/apostilleinfo

Hope this will help you.

Authxperts is professional services firm providing document legalization services to individuals and corporates. Countries which are not members of The Hague Convention do not issue, accept or recognize Apostille certificates in respect of US public documents. There are over one hundred such foreign countries currently.

If a foreign country where you require your American document to operate is not a signatory to The Hague Convention, its Embassy, Consular, diplomatic or trade representative (e.g. United Arab Emirates and Taiwan) in United States normally attends to the legalization of American documents.

In most cases it will require the document to be authenticated in the first instance by the notary, followed by seal of the Secretary of State and US State Department in Washington D.C.

Each foreign country has its own specific requirements, procedures and fees when asked to legalize an American document for use in its country. It may be a requirement, for instance, that the contents of the document are translated from the original language to English language or into their country's own language, and that such translation also be authenticated by the respective departments.
We at Authxperts attend to all the complicated, cumbersome and difficult processes associated with the legalization of American documents by Embassies or Consulates in United States of America.

We also assist American Citizens residing in other foreign countries, to obtain Apostille Certificates for their American public documents including Birth, Marriage, divorce and Death Certificates. Contact us for further information if you require assistance of this kind.
