How To Apostille
Authorization Letters
We only need three things from you to complete the expedited Texas apostille authorization letter service process.
First, email us a photocopy of your Texas authorization letter that you have already filed with the Texas Secretary of State office. If you don’t have that available email us the unique file number that you were given by the TXSOS and the full legal name of your company.
Also, note our Texas apostille prices for rush obtaining documents at the corporations unit side are higher then what is listed on this page and our Texas apostille service order form because the corporations unit government filing fees are almost four times higher then the non-corporations state government filing fees on the authentications unit side.
Please add $50 more per document onto the order form total when you order corporation unit apostille certificates.
If your authorization letter or any type of letter (the process is the exact same for any type of letter including financial and banking letters) has not been or won’t be filed with the Texas Secretary of State corporations unit you will need to sign your letter infront of a Texas notary public before you can mail it to us to rush apostille for you.
The below Texas Secretary of State approved notary jurat verbiage must be written on your authorization letter document that you want to receive a Texas apostille certificate on.
Either you, an attorney, or a Texas notary public must copy/paste the below notary jurat or notary acknowledgment verbiage (choose and only use one set of notary verbiage not both) onto your affidavit, or use a blank Microsoft Word document (DO NOT print this whole webpage out as-is and get it notarized) to attach it to your affidavit or simply handwrite (print NOT cursive) this state-required notary jurat (first one) or notary acknowledgment (second one) verbiage onto your affidavit document.

Second email us a prepaid FedEx or UPS return shipping label (we do not accept air waybills) that you can create and purchase online at FedEx.com or UPS.com without needing to have an existing account set up with them. You can also visit any UPS Store or FedEx Office location to purchase a prepaid shipping label as well.
Do not use the United States Postal Service (USPS) because they lose things constantly
(potentially your authorization letter) and are completely unreliable and slow.
The reason we require a prepaid return shipping label is so we can mail your documents back to you or to wherever and whomever in the world that you want your documents shipped to.
On the prepaid return FedEx or UPS shipping label that you must provide us please list the senders (from) mailing address as your name/address or any U.S address because you cannot list our company name or address as the from/sender for liability reasons. Then for the receiver’s address (to) just list the name/address of where and who you want your documents mailed back to.
Click on the below links for easy step-by-step screeshot directions on how to create a prepaid FedEx or UPS shipping label online in only a few minutes.
If it’s an international shipment (USA to another foreign country) please also provide us with a customs invoice (see the two links below to download custom prefilled out for you templates) that shipping companies (FedEx, UPS) will normally require you to include whenever you ship documents internationally to most countries. If you or someone on your behalf will be returning to our office the following business day to pick up your apostilled documents you of course won’t need to provide us with a shipping label.
For the fastest possible turnaround time, we can hand deliver your documents right to your home, office, business or hotel the very same day that we apostilled or authenticated them for an additional courier fee. The courier cost will depend on what city and zip code in Texas you need us to travel to. This is for situations where you don’t have the time to travel back to our office to pick your documents up or you don’t want your documents mailed anywhere.
Third, you will need to download, sign, and email our rush Texas apostille service order form that can be instantly downloaded by clicking on the Texas apostille order form button below.
We cannot accept or process your documents by mail, email, or drop off until we receive a properly completed apostille order form from you.
Please also understand your documents will not and cannot be apostilled or authenticated onsite at our office so this isn’t walk-in service.
The only legal and government entity in Texas that can issue apostille and authentication certificates is the Texas Secretary of State office which is where we will rush file your authorizaton letter at on your behalf.
We must receive your authorization letter order by noon CST Monday-Friday (excluding all bank and government holidays) to be able to provide you with same day Texas apostille services. If we receive your authorization letter apostille request after that cutoff time don’t worry we’ll simply attempt to file it on the next business day.
Lastly, we do not have these Texas apostille order forms available at our front desk receptionist area.
So if you choose to drop your documents off at our office please make sure to print out and bring this Texas apostille order form in with you or alternatively you can email us the completed Texas apostille order form ahead of time.
