■ Corporations Document (CD) = These documents do not need to be notarized. You cannot mail or drop off these types of documents to us. You can only email us to start the corporate Texas apostille ordering process.
■ You can only choose ONE foreign (non-USA) country per document. The Texas Secretary of State will only issue ONE apostille certificate on ONE document and for ONE foreign (non-USA) country. This means the Texas Secretary of State will not issue you multiple apostille certificates or for multiple countries on one document.
■ All Texas government corporate document filing fees are included in our flat fee rush corporation Texas apostille service pricing.
■ Please note that the Texas Secretary of State’s corporation department will only issue new certified copies of your company’s documents already on file with them. This means you (or we) can’t physically present and submit documents to them to be apostilled. Your company must already have a Texas SOS file number issued to you after you initially filed corporation entity documents with the Texas Secretary of State for the first time.
Then the Texas Secretary of State will issue and attach apostille certificates to the newly issued certified copies of your existing corporation documents within 24-48 hours from the day we rush file your order with them. We will then use the prepaid return shipping label that you uploaded to mail your documents back to you.
■ When creating and buying a FedEx, UPS, or DHL prepaid return shipping label they will ask you for a sender’s address (from address) which means if your documents get lost in the mail the sender’s address is the return address of where the undelivered documents will be sent back to by FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
You must put your name and address or your company’s name and address as the sender (from address) on the prepaid shipping label and/or on the customs invoice if shipping internationally. Depending on what foreign country you live in outside the U.S, the FedEx, UPS, or DHL online system may see your foreign IP address and not let you use your foreign address as the sender (from address). If this happens, you must list a friend, relative, or company office address in the U.S as the sender (from address).
You CANNOT put our company name (Apostille Texas) or our address as the sender or importer because we are not the sender or importer. The sender/importer is you because you created and paid for the prepaid return shipping label, not us, and you are 100% responsible for paying all current shipping and any future customs charges when shipping internationally.
We will not mail your documents back to you if you mail, email, or drop off to us a prepaid return shipping label or customs invoice that wrongly has our company name, phone number, or address listed anywhere on it. FedEx, UPS, and DHL wrongly send us and try to collect from our company unpaid shipping bills because people and companies don’t pay their full shipping charges and customs fees when sending internationally.
■ The Texas Secretary of State no longer issues or apostilles Certificates of Good Standing (in its place you can order a Certificate of Fact), Articles of Incorporation (in its place you can order a Certificate of Formation), and Certificate of Incorporation (in its place you can order a Certificate of Formation) documents please be aware.
