The apostille process for translated documents typically involves several steps. We manage the workflow:
Scenario 1: U.S. document going to a foreign country
Scenario 2: Foreign document being used in the U.S.
Scenario 3: Foreign document going to a third country
Each scenario has different steps. We guide you through the correct process for your specific situation.

Corpus Localization is an ATA Corporate Member providing certified translation and apostille services for international document authentication.
Notarization is performed by a notary public and authenticates a signature. An apostille is issued by a government authority (Secretary of State) and authenticates a document for international use. For translated documents used abroad, you often need both.
Standard processing: 2-6 weeks depending on the state. Expedited processing (available in many states): 1-2 weeks. We'll advise on timelines for your specific state.
Generally no. USCIS requires certified translation, not apostille. Apostilles are for documents being SENT to foreign countries, not for documents being submitted to U.S. agencies. Exception: some consular processing cases may involve apostille requirements.
No. Apostilles are issued by the country that produced the document. A Mexican birth certificate gets apostilled by Mexican authorities, not U.S. We can translate documents that already have foreign apostilles and assist with understanding the requirements.
The Secretary of State in the state where the document was issued or notarized. A notarized translation signed by a notary in [State] would be apostilled by [State]'s Secretary of State.
Generally yes — each document needs its own apostille. However, some states allow multiple documents to be apostilled together if they're notarized as a package. We'll advise on the most efficient approach.
