Birth Certificates
For immigration, dual citizenship, international adoption, and foreign marriage applications.
We work directly with the West Virginia Secretary of State so you don't have to. No confusing forms. No courthouse visits. Starting at $165 — notarization included when required.
An apostille is an official government certificate that verifies the authenticity of a document for international use. It is required under the Hague Convention of 1961 — an international treaty signed by more than 120 countries — and confirms that your U.S. documents are genuine and legally recognized abroad.
When you need to use an American document in another country — whether for immigration, employment, marriage, adoption, education, or business — the foreign government or institution often requires an apostille before they will accept it. The apostille is attached to (or printed on) your document and is issued by a designated authority, typically the Secretary of State for the state where the document was issued.
Justified Services handles the entire apostille process for West Virginia documents and out-of-state requests — so you never have to visit a government office, figure out which agency to contact, or worry about your documents being rejected.
We've removed all the red tape. Here's exactly what happens when you work with us:
Send a copy of your document by mail, email, or in person. We review it to confirm exactly what's needed for apostille processing and give you a clear quote.
If notarization is required, we handle it. We then prepare your apostille application for the correct Secretary of State office — no guesswork on your end.
We submit your document to the appropriate Secretary of State office. Standard processing takes 3–5 business days. Rush service (24–48 hours) is available for urgent requests.
We return your apostille-certified document via mail, courier, or in-person pickup — whichever is most convenient for you.

If the destination country is not a Hague Convention member, a different process called "legalization" or "embassy authentication" may be required instead.
