Common Uses
Why Businesses Need Corporate Apostilles
Many countries require U.S. business documents to be apostilled before they can be legally accepted internationally. An apostille authenticates the official signature, capacity, and seal on the document — it does not approve contract content, confirm business legality or compliance, or guarantee automatic legal recognition by the recipient. Recipient requirements vary. This is commonly required for:
- International business registration
- Foreign subsidiaries
- International banking
- Overseas contracts
- Foreign tax registration
- International licensing
- Import/export transactions
- International mergers
- Foreign investment
- Real estate transactions abroad
- International compliance
- Global business expansion
If your company is opening operations outside the United States, your corporate documents may need apostille certification before they can be legally recognized internationally.

LLC Documents
Apostille for LLC Documents
We frequently process apostilles for LLC operating agreements, LLC formation documents, Certificates of Good Standing, LLC resolutions, and member agreements. These are commonly needed for foreign banking, overseas investments, international partnerships, foreign business registration, and international tax compliance.
By State
State-Specific Corporate Apostilles
Delaware
Delaware is one of the most common states for international corporations. We process apostilles for Delaware LLC documents, Certificates of Good Standing, corporate records, operating agreements, and corporate resolutions.
Florida
We process Florida corporate apostilles through the Florida Secretary of State in Tallahassee, including Florida LLC documents, business licenses, Certificates of Status, operating agreements, corporate resolutions, and commercial agreements.
Other States
We also process business document apostilles for companies registered in California, Texas, New York, Nevada, Wyoming, Illinois, Georgia, and all 50 states.
The appropriate issuing authority is determined by the certified signature and issuer on the document, not the destination country alone. Corporate public records generally require issuing-state certified copies; private agreements may require proper notarization. Confirm the correct preparation route with us before ordering.
Federal Documents
Federal Apostille for Corporate Documents
Some business documents require federal apostille through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. This applies to eligible official federal agency records — such as FDA documents, USDA documents, and federal commercial certificates bearing an agency signature and seal. This route is for eligible official federal agency records, not all international trade or shipping documents simply because they relate to trade.
This is commonly needed for international exports, product registration abroad, international manufacturing, regulatory compliance, and international shipping where an eligible federal agency document is involved.
Original federal records are not notarized before apostille. Follow the agency's format and signature/seal requirements. For guidance on federal vs. state preparation, see the U.S. Department of State apostille guidance. See our nationwide apostille guidance.

We provide certified translations, legal business translations, commercial translations, financial document translation, and apostille of translations, into more than 60 languages, including Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Hebrew, and Turkish.

Common Corporate Apostille Mistakes
Business documents are commonly rejected because the wrong version was submitted, the document wasn't certified properly, the notarization was invalid, the wrong state was selected, a federal apostille was required instead of a state one, translation requirements were incomplete, or the translation itself also required an apostille. We review documents before submission to help reduce delays and rejection risk.
