We are a licensed company and serve clients from all over the United States and around the world who look to get documents certified such as university diplomas, transcripts, vital documents such as birth and marriage certificates, powers of attorney, and other personal documents.

We also assist companies to certify commercial documents such as board resolutions, Articles of Incorporation, agreements, contracts, commercial invoices, certificates of origin, certificates of good standing, and many other business documents.

The procedure consists of getting a document certified through the chain authentication process which consists of:
