China Apostille update
The Apostille Convention entered into force for China on November 7, 2023. For many eligible U.S. public documents, an Apostille from the correct U.S. authority replaces the former consular-legalization chain.
An Apostille authenticates the origin of a signature or seal; it does not prove document content or guarantee acceptance. Confirm version, issue date, translation, and attachment requirements with the receiving organization in China. This service does not provide legal advice.
Texas official requirements

DFW and North Texas
Clients can mail documents from any Texas city. Cross-county cities are labeled carefully because city residence alone does not determine the authority.
Obtain the correct original or certified copy, confirm the signature is eligible, create an order, and follow the case-specific mailing instructions. Texas records generally use the Texas Secretary of State; federal and out-of-state records use other authorities.
The Texas Secretary of State is the Texas competent authority for eligible Texas signatures. Our service is private and is not that government office.
For many eligible U.S. public documents used in mainland China, an Apostille now replaces the former consular-legalization chain. Confirm the current requirement with the receiving organization.
Often yes, with an eligible certified copy. Texas guidance says recordable documents under the current rule generally must be issued within the preceding five years.
Often, but the registrar may need to certify the record before a notary. The school controls its record-preparation procedure.
Texas guidance allows certain properly completed online notarizations, but requires supporting notarial records and warns that a destination may refuse them. Confirm acceptance first.
No. FBI records are federal documents and generally use the U.S. Department of State authentication route.
No. A document issued or notarized under another state's authority generally returns to that state.
No. It authenticates the origin of a signature or seal, not the truth of the document's contents.
No. The receiving school, bank, court, government office, or other organization may impose its own version, translation, date, or attachment rules.
Only when the applicable authority accepts the copy type and notarization. Do not notarize a copy of a recordable document when an official certified copy is required.
Texas SOS business filings may require certification through the Corporation Certifying Team; private business records may instead need proper notarization.
No. We provide document-processing assistance, not legal advice. Consult a qualified lawyer for legal drafting or legal-rights questions.
No. This is a private statewide mail-in service. Create an order before sending originals and use only the address in your case instructions.
Service fees are $200 standard, $280 expedited, or $380 express per document, plus one flat $25 return-shipping fee per order.
Displayed service estimates begin after complete and acceptable documents arrive. Government and carrier timing can change and is not guaranteed.
Yes. Dallas clients can use the statewide mail-in process after creating an order.
Ask the receiving organization whether it needs a translation, who may prepare it, and whether the translation itself must be notarized or Apostilled.
