How To Apostille
Employment Verification
Letters
If you’re looking for a employment verification letter apostille near me look no further because we only need three things from you to complete the expedited Texas apostille employment verification letter process.
First, mail us or drop off your original notarized employment verification letter at our office. The properly notarized employment verification letter that you submit to us cannot be a photocopy and you cannot fax or email us a copy of your employment verification letter to rush Texas apostille.
The Texas Secretary of State office will only accept and issue Texas apostille certificates on original employment verification letters that are physically presented to them not photocopies.
The Texas Secretary of State will reject any non-recordable document (such as employment letters) if the notarization on the non-recordable document is not a physically wet ink signed and stamped by a Texas notary public or signed and stamped electronically by a licensed Texas e-notary, virtual notary, remote notary, or online notary services company.
The affiant’s signature (the person or people who will sign the employment letter in front of a Texas notary public) on the employment verification letter must be the original. Meaning the signatures on the work verification letter that the Texas notary public witnesses cannot be a copied or a automated autopen type signature.
The Secretary of State in Texas will reject your employer verification letter if original signatures were not used on the letter.
A Texas authentications unit staffer will use a magnifying glass and/or a smudge test to verify that all employment verification letters presented to them properly used original wet ink signatures. So don’t think you can sneak this past them.
The below Texas Secretary of State approved Texas notary jurat and Texas notary acknowledgment verbiage (only choose one notary verbiage set to place on your employer verification form) must be written on every non-recordable document that you want to receive a Texas apostille certificate on.
Either you, an attorney, or a Texas notary public can copy/paste this below Texas notary jurat or Texas notary acknowledgment verbiage onto a blank Microsoft Word document (DO NOT print this whole webpage out as is and get it notarized) and attach it to your employment verification letter or simply handwrite (print NOT cursive) this state-required Texas notary jurat (first one) or Texas notary acknowledgment (second one) verbiage onto the backside of your work verification form.

Texas notary public signature
The above Texas notary jurat and Texas notary acknowledgment verbiage must be written in all English on your employment verification letter. The actual employment verification letter content can be in any non-English language (say you got it translated) but the entire Texas notary acknowledgment or Texas notary jurat text cannot be in a different or translated language other than English.
If the Texas notary jurat or Texas notary acknowledgment verbiage that is used on your work verification letter is not 100% in English your work verification form will be rejected by the Secretary of State of Texas.
A Texas notary public can also attach a separate piece of paper to your employment verification letter so they can add the proper Texas notary acknowledgment or Texas notary jurat text, date of the notarization, notary stamp, and notary signature.
This last option is in case your work verification letter doesn’t have enough room on the front side of it or if you don’t want to add the Texas notary jurat or Texas notary acknowledgment verbiage on the backside of your employment verification form for some reason.
Second mail or drop off at our office 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 from anywhere in the world without needing to create or 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 employment verification letter) and are completely unreliable and slow.
The reason we require a prepaid return shipping label is so we can mail your employment verification letter apostille back to you or to wherever and whomever in the world that you want it 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 work verification letter apostille mailed back to.
Click on the below links for easy step-by-step screenshot 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 (also called a commercial 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 certain countries.
If you or someone on your behalf will be returning to our office to pick up your employment verification form apostille you of course won’t need to provide us with a prepaid return shipping label.
For the fastest possible turnaround time, we can hand deliver your work verification form apostille right to your home, office, business or hotel the very same day that we apostilled it 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 up your employer verification letter apostille or you don’t want it mailed anywhere.
Third, you will need to download, sign, and mail or drop off at our office our rush Texas apostille service order form that can be instantly downloaded by clicking on the blue Texas apostille services order button below.
We cannot accept or process your employment verification letter apostille request by mail or drop off until we receive a properly completed Texas apostille service order form from you.
If you will be dropping your work verification letter off at our office in person you must bring this completed Texas apostille services order form in with you along with any other documents that you want us to rush Texas apostille for you.
When you arrive at our office walk up to our front lobby receptionist desk area and tell them that you have a employment verification letter to dropoff for Apostille Texas. Detailed directions and pictures of our office and office building are on our contact us page as well for you to view.
Please also understand your employment verification form will not and cannot be apostilled onsite at our office so this isn’t apostille walk-in service.
The only legal and government entity in Texas or in the world that can issue Texas apostille certificates is the Texas Secretary of State which is where we will rush file your work verification form at on your behalf.
We must receive your employer verificaton letter by mail or dropped off at our office by noon CST Monday-Friday (excluding all federal and state holidays) to be able to provide you with same day Texas apostille services. If we receive your employer verification form after that cutoff time don’t worry we’ll simply attempt to file it with the state on the next business day.
Lastly, we do not have these Texas apostille services order forms available at our front desk receptionist area.
So if you choose to drop off your employment verification letter at our office please make sure to print out and bring this Texas apostille services order form in with you.
