Do you need West Virginia Apostille Services?

Get your documents apostilles in WV fast and secure.
West Virginia apostilles are an internationally recognized form of authentication and they are used to certify that a notary public or other authorized official has authenticated a document.

There are two types of apostilles: standard and special. The difference between the two is that standard apostilles only apply to documents that have been executed in West Virginia while special apostilles apply to documents executed outside of West Virginia but which will be used in West Virginia courts or other governmental offices.
West Virginia Apostilles are notarizations done by the Secretary of State's office. In the US, each state has its own rules about what documents need to be notarized or apostilled. Therefore, the process of getting an apostille for a document varies from state to state. For example, in West Virginia, any document that is signed by a public official and certified by an attorney requires an Apostille.

We provide notary publics and apostille services to West Virginia. Our company is a secure service that helps people to have their documents authenticated and legalized by the American government.

We have been in business for more than 25 years and you can feel safe knowing that you are in a secure and trustworthy space with us. Contact us today to learn more!

We use Apostillus for all our clients who need this service — Svetlana, Alex and their team are real professionals, very patient and never complain about our last minute super urgent requests (which are most of them :) We’re happy for your low rates, so we don’t have to overcharge our clients. Also, dealing with lots of consular legalisation orders, we got burned many times in the past with other services, who had no idea of particulars of consulate processing, which Apostillus knows everything about!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks for getting everything done so quickly! My deadline for submitting everything for a Postdoc program in Italy was fast approaching, and I was a nervous wreck with all other apostille websites giving me a runaround with processing times and complicated terms. It's really not a topic you’d want to spend your time on making last minute preparations. Very easy instructions and process, and real live people on the other end — so rare nowadays! Special thanks to Dimitri, who responded on a weekend, saving me a day!

Svetlana and the ApostillUS team were incredibly fast to respond. Very professional service and attention to clients. Svetlana went above and beyond to complete my requested service to apostille original documents with a very short time frame, and provided helpful information and updates along the way. Working with ApostillUS removed all the stress of legalizing and gathering apostilles on original documents for international use.

I wish I could raise his 5 stars to 100 or maybe to 1000!
We have been using his services for many years and always been very accommodating and always in timely manner.
Prices are very reasonable as well but most importantly is you know you are in the best hands to do any translation job or apostille job with the most accommodating and professional service.
My wife and I emailed Gianluca Saturday morning A TON of documents and we had it all ready by Monday afternoon 🙏🙏🙏 Svetlana has donated her entire weekend to help us in this very complicated and very rushed project!

We can’t be thankful enough, we are out of words and really can’t think (yet) about the best way to say thank you 😊 truly amazing human being, thank you so very much!!!

Price was fair and even better then many other services out there. Highly recommend them for tour apostille needs.

Apostille documents in West Virginia

How to get an apostille in West Virginia?

Apostille or Legalization?
It depends on what country you will be using the document in. If the country is a participant in The Hague Treaty Convention (also known as Apostille Convention) your document can be apostilled.

Apostille and Authentication process in West Virginia.

In West Virginia, the process for obtaining an apostille is pretty straightforward:

  1. Get the original document(s) that need to be apostilled.
  2. Fill out and complete the request form.
  3. Prepare an envelope with all papers required including a cover letter.
  4. Make a payment in a proper way.
  5. Send your documents to the West Virginia Secretary of State office.
  6. Get back your ready documents.

Before we get into a detailed answer to all the questions about obtaining an apostille in the state of West Virginia, let's highlight one question. Should you make the apostille yourself or have an agency like ApostillUS do it for you?
The first thing you should understand is that you can get an apostille yourself without any help from expediting companies. By doing so, you will save money - an Apostille stamp on your own documents from the Secretary of State's office will cost you just $20.00 per apostille plus $6.00 for each different signature. So why use the service?
Based on our company's experience (and we have been in this apostille business since 1988), I would highlight 3 key points:

  • The first point is to save time. The state of West Virginia has a fairly clear list of requirements for both the document being apostilled and the notarial certification on the document. You have to check all the nuances and make sure everything is okay. So you need time to research the requirements, as well as to check the documents.
  • The second point is the timing of obtaining an apostille. Sometimes a document needs to be done urgently. An apostille can be obtained on the same day on a walk-in basis. If you don't have time to do it - companies like ours come to assist. That's especially true if you are in another state.
  • The third point is if you have a large package of documents. Verification and preparation can be a real headache. Companies like ApostillUS save you from it.

We try to keep prices as competitive as possible. Our average fee is $50 per document, we think that's fair considering our experience and accumulated knowledge.

West Virginia Apostille FAQ

What is an apostille?

An apostille, or official government certification, is required for documents to be accepted and presented in other countries that are signatories to the 1961 Hague Convention. These documents can include any vital records, vehicle titles, certificates of incorporation and origin, and academic records.

How to apostille documents in West Virginia?

The West Virginia Secretary of State will only apostille paperwork meant for use in Hague Participating Nations. Instead of being apostilled, all documents issued for governments that are not Hague Participants will be certified.

Since such services are not necessary within the country or any of its territories or possessions, the Secretary of State of West Virginia will not issue an apostille for use in American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, or Puerto Rico. West Virginia's secretary of state costs $10 per document. There may be numerous pages in a document.

Why do I need an Apostille and what does it do for me?

When a document from one nation needs to be presented in another as part of the legal procedure, an Apostille is necessary. The majority of the time, this will entail business dealings, but it is increasingly used for real estate transactions and to settle the estate of a deceased individual with assets abroad. Powers of attorney, passports, birth, marriage, and death certificates are some of the most popular papers that need to be legalized with an Apostille certificate. A Notary Public will confirm your identity as the signer as part of the Apostille requirement, protecting you from fraud and other risks of identity theft.

Which countries accept apostille documents?

You can find a list of countries on official Hague Convention website: Status Table provided by the Hague Conference on Private International Law.
