"Apostille" is a French word meaning certification. It refers to the authentication of documents under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign public documents. We expertly handle your document certification completely. 

​

Some of the reasons why APOSTILLES get rejected by the ILLINOIS SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE CAN BE:

• Incorrect fees.

• Lack of notarization or certification by the proper official.

• Name of country where the document will be used not  specified.

• Rubber stamp seal has incorrect commission date of  the notary.

• Notary signature or stamp does not match the way the notary has been appointed.

• School diplomas and transcripts not originally signed and notarized.

 

Once PMG Consultants Mobile Notary obtains your Apostille, the State Seal that is attached CAN NOT BE BROKEN as this will nullify the Apostille.
 

Before an Apostille is issued by the State of IL, the employee checks the document needing the Apostille, thoroughly, making sure the notary has signed and notarized the document correctly. We can not stress this enough, but the notarization MUST BE 100% CORRECT.  If there are ANY notary errors, this will result in your Apostille application being automatically rejected by the State.
