What can go wrong
Arizona has its own rules for what it will apostille, listed below. Our check looks at each document before you pay.
A photocopy instead of the original
Send us the original document.
An incomplete notary section
We will review it by hand. If it needs a new notarization, you can add notarization arranged by us.
A document from another state
An apostille has to come from the state that issued the document, and we do not take Nevada orders online yet. Change the issuing state and we will take a quote request.
If an authority still rejects a document, we resubmit it at no service charge. Refund policy
What Arizona asks for
- Arizona needs an original notarized or certified recorded document. A photocopy is not accepted.
- Arizona does not issue electronic apostilles.

How much does an apostille cost in total?
A state apostille by mail costs $129 for the first document and $59 for each additional one, for every state we take orders for. For California documents, the same-day Los Angeles counter costs $249. A federal apostille costs $149. Each price includes our service, the government fee and return shipping within the United States. There are no other fees.
How long does it take?
We send your document to the authority within 1 business day of receiving it, and ship it back within 1 business day of getting it back. The authority's time is separate and we cannot promise it. Where a state publishes a figure, that state's page here shows it with the day we read it. For example: On November 12, 2026 the California Secretary of State reported it was processing mailed apostille requests received on November 3, 2026. In-person requests at the Los Angeles office are typically processed within 30 minutes.
What do I need to send?
You send the original document, not a copy. Before you pay, you upload a photo or scan of it so we can check it. For a birth, death or marriage certificate, that means the certified copy you were issued.
Do you check my document before I pay?
Yes. You upload a photo or scan of each document, and the check tells you in plain language whether it looks ready or what needs attention and how to fix it. A needs-attention result does not stop the order; it explains what we will do or what you need to do.
What happens if the authority rejects my document?
If an authority rejects a document, we tell you why and what is needed, and we resubmit it at no service charge.
Which states do you take orders for?
We take online orders, at an instant all-in price, for documents from Arizona, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Texas, and for federal documents. An apostille has to come from the state that issued the document, so we send each one to its own state. For a document from any other state, request a quote in the order form and we reply by email with a price.
