We only need three things from you to complete the rush Texas Certificate of Free Sale apostille service process.
First, mail us or drop off at our office your original Texas Certificate of Free Sale (it cannot be a photocopy) that have been properly notarized by a Texas notary public. You cannot use a notary public from any other state or country.
The Texas Secretary of State office will reject any non-recordable document (Certificate of Free Sale) if the notarization was not completed by a Texas notary public.
The affiant’s signature (the person or people who signed said document in front of a Texas notary public) on the document must be the original. Meaning the signature on the document that the Texas notary witnessed cannot be a copied, electronic, or automated autopen type signature.
The Secretary of State in Texas will reject your document if an original signature was not used on your documents.
A Texas notary public must copy/paste the below notary jurat or notary acknowledgment verbiage (choose and only use one set of notary verbiage not both) onto your Certificate of Free Sale document, or use a blank Microsoft Word document (DO NOT print this whole webpage out as-is and get it notarized) to attach it to your Certificate of Free Sale or simply handwrite (print NOT cursive) this state-required notary jurat (first one) or notary acknowledgment (second one) verbiage onto your Certificate of Free Sale document.
Click on the big PDF icons below that say, “CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD” to instantly download a copy of the notary jurat or notary acknowledgment verbiage that you can print out, sign, and put on or attach to your Certificate of Free Sale document to receive an apostille.
The above notary jurat and notary acknowledgment verbiage must be written in all English on your documents. The actual Certificate of Free Sale content can be in any non-English language (say you got it translated) but the entire notary acknowledgment or notary jurat text cannot be in a different or translated language other than English.
If the notary jurat or notary acknowledgment verbiage that is used or attached onto your Certificate of Free Sale is not 100% in English your document will be rejected by the State of Texas.
A Texas notary public can also attach a separate piece of paper to your Certificate of Free Sale so they can add the proper notary acknowledgment or notary jurat text, date of the notarization, notary stamp, and notary signature.
This last option is in case your Certificate of Free Sale doesn’t have enough room on the front side of it or if you don’t want to add this notary information on the backside of your documents for some reason.
Second, email us a prepaid FedEx or UPS return shipping label (we do not accept air waybills) that you can create and purchase online at FedEx.com or UPS.com without needing to have an existing account set up with them. You can also visit any UPS Store or FedEx Office location to purchase a prepaid shipping label as well.
Do not use the United States Postal Service (USPS) because they lose things constantly
(potentially your Certification of Free Sale) and are completely unreliable and slow.
The reason we require a prepaid return shipping label is so we can mail your documents back to you or to wherever and whomever in the world that you want your documents shipped to.
On the prepaid return FedEx or UPS shipping label that you must provide us please list the senders (from) mailing address as your name/address or any U.S address because you cannot list our company name or address as the from/sender for liability reasons. Then for the receiver’s address (to) just list the name/address of where and who you want your documents mailed back to.
Click on the below links for easy step-by-step screenshot directions on how to create a prepaid return FedEx or UPS shipping label online in only a few minutes.
If you want your documents shipped back to you or to someone else internationally (USA to another foreign country) please also provide us with a customs invoice (see the two links below to download and sign the custom prefilled out for you templates) that shipping companies (FedEx, UPS) will normally require you to include whenever you ship documents internationally to certain countries.
If you or someone on your behalf will be returning to our office the following business day to pick up your apostilled or authenticated documents you of course won’t need to provide us with a prepaid return shipping label.
For the fastest possible return time, we can hand deliver your documents right to your home, office, business or hotel anywhere in Texas the very same day that we apostilled or authenticated them for an additional courier fee.
The courier cost will depend on what city and zip code in Texas you need us to travel to. This is for situations where you don’t have the time to travel back to our office to pick up your documents or you don’t want your documents mailed anywhere for some reason.
Third, you will need to download, sign, and email our rush Texas corporations apostille service order form that can be instantly downloaded by clicking on the Texas apostille order form button below.
We cannot accept or process your documents by mail, email, or drop off until we receive a properly completed apostille order form from you.
Please also understand your documents will not and cannot be apostilled or authenticated onsite at our office so this isn’t walk-in service.
The only legal and government entity in Texas that can issue apostille and authentication certificates is the Texas Secretary of State office which is where we will rush file your Texas Certification of Free Sale at on your behalf.
The Texas Secretary of State corporations unit is somewhat erratic unlike the authentications unit side when it comes to the speed of apostilling and authenticating documents.
If we receive your Texas Certification of Free Sale order by email on say a Monday the state “normally” will have it ready for us to pickup and mail back to you by Tuesday end of business day.
But on rare occassions it can take the Texas Secretary of State up to 48-72 hours to issue apostille or authentication certificates on your Certification of Free Sale documents please understand.
