Frequently Asked Questions

What documents do actors need for international productions?

Foreign productions typically require apostilled acting contracts, agent POAs, background checks, and loan-out company documents as part of the work permit application.

Can you apostille a SAG-AFTRA membership letter?

Yes. If the SAG-AFTRA letter is notarized, we can obtain the document after review. We recommend requesting a notarized version from SAG-AFTRA directly.

What is a loan-out company and why does it need an apostille?

A loan-out company is a personal services corporation used by actors for tax purposes. Foreign productions require apostilled articles of incorporation and operating agreements.

How quickly can you process documents for a production start date?

Florida documents are processed after document review. We recommend starting at least 6-8 weeks before your production start date to allow time for work permit processing.

Prepare your documents with confidence

For a film or acting assignment, separate personal employment or visa records from production-company documents. Confirm the signer, recipient and intended use for each agreement or authorization.

An overseas production, performance or representation arrangement can require personal records and signed commercial documents. A work authorization, private contract and intellectual-property registration are different tasks. Confirm which recipient needs each record and have any legal wording approved before signatures and authentication are arranged.

Check that all pages, certification sheets and attachments are present. Keep the recipient’s written instructions and confirm where completed documents should be delivered. Timing is confirmed after document review and depends on preparation, the competent authority, translation and delivery.

Tell us the document, its issuer, destination country and intended use, and your deadline. We will review preparation, translation and delivery options before confirming an estimate and timing. Ask for instructions before mailing originals. Please mail with a tracking number.

Separate immigration records, venue or production permissions, contracts and rights-registration documents.

Confirm who is authorized to sign for the person or entity and whether complete schedules or exhibits must accompany the signature pages.

Coordinate translations, required certifications and return of originals with the receiving organizer or professional.

Does authentication approve a performance contract or grant a work permit?

No. Contract terms and permits are handled by the responsible parties and authorities. Authentication concerns the origin of the relevant signature or certification.

What should I confirm before requesting an estimate?

Provide the document, issuer, destination, intended use, number of copies and deadline. Include the recipient’s checklist if available. This allows preparation, certification, translation and delivery to be reviewed before a cost estimate is confirmed.
