Apostille

We offer expert Apostille certification services to verify the authenticity of seals and signatures on documents intended for international use. This certification guarantees that your documents will be accepted as valid in nations participating in the 1961 Hague Convention.

Exploring Apostille Certification

Apostille certification is a process that authenticates the seals and signatures on public documents for use in foreign countries. It ensures that the document is recognized as valid in nations that are part of the 1961 Hague Convention. This international treaty simplifies the traditional, lengthy legalization process by requiring only a single certification - the Apostille.

For example, documents like birth certificates, marriage licenses, or academic diplomas may need an Apostille if they are to be used abroad. The certification is typically issued by the Secretary of State's office or a similar authority in the country where the document originates.

Our Comprehensive Apostille Services Include:

• Business Documents: Articles of incorporation, bylaws, patents, foreign investments or business operations documents
• Educational Documents: Diplomas, transcripts, and other such documents
• Legal Documents: Affidavits, court orders, powers of attorney, and other legal documents

E-Notarization

An electronic notarization is an official act (acknowledgement, jurat, verification, proof, etc.) performed by an electronic notary public using their electronic seal and electronic signature on electronic documents. In the State of North Carolina, the electronic notary and the principal shall be in each other's physical presence during the entire electronic notarization so that the principal and the electronic notary can see, hear, communicate with, and give identification documents to each other without the use of electronic devices such as phones, computers, video cameras, or facsimile machines.

E-Notarization Security

The electronic notary signature is a unique, independently verifiable image of the electronic notary's handwritten signature, that is retained under the electronic notary's sole control. Likewise, the electronic notary seal is a unique, independently verifiable image with a border containing the electronic notary's name exactly as commissioned, the words "Electronic Notary Public", the words "North Carolina" or "N.C.", and the county of commission including the word "County" or "Co." and must also be retained under the electronic notary's sole control. The electronic notary signature and seal are attached or logically associated with the document, linking the data in such a manner that any subsequent alterations to the underlying document or electronic notary certificate are observable through visual examination.

Remote Online Notarization (RON) – RON is not currently available in the State of North Carolina, but will be in the coming months. RON facilitates notarial acts completely digitally and the notary public and the principal connect via zoom or some similar web conferencing platform. Once RON it is available in North Carolina, Jeanine C. Holland Mobile Notary Services will make it available for your added convenience.
