Apostille for Power of Attorney

call FOR apostille SERVICE

From Notarization Through Completed Apostille

A Clear Path for Documents Going Abroad

Power of Attorney documents are frequently used abroad for property transactions, banking and financial matters, business affairs, legal matters, and personal matters. Your Power of Attorney is reviewed and managed from notarization, when needed, through apostille processing and completed return. 

Turnaround Time for Alabama Apostille Processing

Standard Alabama apostille processing is typically completed within 3–5 business days. For customers who need faster turnaround, one-business-day priority processing is available. Customers with flexible timelines may also select extended processing of up to 2 weeks. 

Pricing

Services start at $175 for the first document, including the state fee. Multi-document orders benefit from reduced per-document pricing. Domestic and international return shipping are included with service. Certified, sworn, or notarized translation services are quoted separately. 

Call or text us at (205) 615-6242 to discuss your document requirements or submit your documents online to receive a quote.  

How the Apostille Process Works

Step 1: Document Review

Start your apostille request by uploading your documents, calling the office, or mailing your documents for review. If the Power of Attorney has already been notarized, the notarization is reviewed to confirm it meets Alabama apostille requirements. If notarization is needed, it can be completed in office, through mobile notarization, or Remote Ink Notarization. 

Step 2: Confirm Order

Receive a quote based on your specific documents and requested processing timeframe. Once approved, your order is prepared for submission. 

Step 3: Submission and Return

Your documents are submitted for apostille processing and, once completed, may be picked up or returned directly to you. Domestic and international return shipping are included with service. 

Why Power of Attorney Apostilles Get Rejected

Power of Attorney documents can be rejected for apostille processing when the notarization is incomplete or does not meet the requirements of the state where it was completed.


Common issues include:

  • Incomplete notarial certificate: Required information is missing from the notarization. 
  • Missing notary signature or seal: The notarization is not complete without the required notary information. 
  • Notary commission issues: The notarization was completed by a notary whose commission was not valid at the time. 
  • Wrong state submission: A Power of Attorney notarized in another state must be apostilled through that state. 
  • Changes made after notarization: Alterations made after notarization can cause the document to be rejected. 


Power of Attorney documents are reviewed before submission so issues can be identified before apostille processing begins.

Apostille FAQs

Concise answers to common questions, helping you navigate apostille requirements with clarity and confidence. 

No. A notary public does not issue an apostille. Apostilles are issued by the appropriate issuing authority, such as a state Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State, depending on the document.


Yes. If notarization is needed, it can be completed in office, through mobile notarization, or through Remote Ink Notarization before apostille processing. 


A Power of Attorney notarized in another state must be apostilled through that state, not Alabama. Out-of-state Power of Attorney apostilles can be processed as well. The document is reviewed first to confirm the state of notarization and the appropriate apostille process. 


Yes. Multiple documents can be submitted in the same request.


Yes. You do not have to be local to use the service. If your Power of Attorney needs notarization, it can be completed through Remote Ink Notarization. If it has already been notarized, submit it for review first. Once the notarization is confirmed as acceptable for apostille processing, you will receive instructions for sending the original document. 


Certified, notarized and sworn translation services are coordinated after apostille processing. Translation fees are quoted separately. 


Completed documents may be picked up in office or shipped with tracking. Domestic and international return shipping are included with service. 


Our expertise is in apostille services for Hague Convention countries. Embassy legalization for non-Hague countries (such as UAE, China, Vietnam, or Saudi Arabia) requires a different process that we don't currently offer. 


We accept all major debit and credit cards and cash.
