Notarized in Pennsylvania: the exact route
A notarized document like this is authenticated through the notary, not the federal government. If it was notarized in Pennsylvania, the apostille is issued by the Pennsylvania Department of State in Harrisburg.
- Hague Convention destination: the Pennsylvania apostille is the final step.
- Non-Hague destination: the Pennsylvania-authenticated document then goes to the U.S. Department of State and on to the destination’s embassy.
We don’t submit to the Pennsylvania Department of State directly. Once your document has its Pennsylvania authentication, we handle the U.S. Department of State and embassy steps for non-Hague destinations ($399).
Get the notarial wording right before signing — requirements vary by destination, and a mistake means redoing the whole chain.
