If you need to use a U.S. document abroad — for marriage, adoption, business, education, or legal proceedings — it almost certainly requires an apostille. This international certification verifies the document's authenticity under the Hague Convention, and the process can be confusing without guidance.
GOTCHA Notary Services handles the entire apostille workflow: notarization (if needed), county clerk certification (if required), and submission to the Texas Secretary of State. We track your documents through every step and deliver the finished apostille to you — saving you days of research, driving, and waiting.
We review your documents to determine exactly which certifications are required — county clerk, notarization, or both — before submission to the state.
We notarize documents that need it and obtain county clerk certification where required — all handled on your behalf.
We submit your documents to the Texas Secretary of State's Authentications Unit and track the apostille through to issuance.
Once complete, we return your apostilled documents via mail, courier, or hand delivery — ready for use internationally.
Don't navigate the Texas Secretary of State process alone. We handle everything — from notarization to apostille delivery — for birth certificates, diplomas, corporate docs, and more. Serving Bastrop and all of Central Texas.
