General Questions
An Apostille is a certification used to authenticate documents for international use under the Hague Convention. It is often needed for documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and legal agreements that are being used in foreign countries.
You can get a document Apostilled by submitting it to the Secretary of State or another designated authority. Hagerstown Trusted Notary provides Apostille services to handle the entire process, ensuring your document is authenticated and ready for international use.
Ink fingerprinting involves rolling your fingers in ink and pressing them onto a fingerprint card, while digital fingerprinting uses a scanner. Ink fingerprinting is often required for certain licensing or background checks. At Hagerstown Trusted Notary, we specialize in providing reliable and professional ink fingerprinting services.
You should bring a valid, government-issued photo ID, and if possible, the fingerprint card or documentation provided by the agency requesting the fingerprinting. If you don’t have a card, we can provide one.
A typical ink fingerprinting appointment takes about 10-15 minutes, depending on the number of cards you need and how many fingerprints are required.
The timeframe can vary depending on the state and country involved. On average, the Apostille process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks. We recommend planning ahead to ensure timely processing.
Common documents that may require an Apostille include birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, power of attorney, and legal contracts. Hagerstown Trusted Notary can assist with Apostille services for all these documents.
