Notary and Apostille Services: What You Need to Know Before You Begin
You’re searching for “Notary and Apostille Services.” But what you’re thinking is…
“How do I get this document accepted in another country, without any mistakes, delays, or rejections?”
Maybe it’s a birth certificate for dual citizenship.
Or a power of attorney for a property sale overseas.
Or an adoption record, marriage license, or business document headed abroad.
You’ve already got enough on your plate. You need someone who understands the process and can walk you through it without all the red tape.
The Problem? It’s Not Just About Stamping and Sending
Here’s where things get tricky—every country has its own rules.
What’s acceptable in Brazil may be rejected in Germany.
What Italy wants as an “original,” Spain might need it as a “certified copy.”
One country may want it translated first, another may want it notarized before anything else.
And here’s the hard truth:
If you skip a step or choose the wrong certification, your entire packet could be delayed, denied, or worse… completely invalid for your destination.
That’s why starting with the receiving party, the agency or authority that will accept your documents, is essential.
The Solution? A Notary Who Guides You Before the Paperwork
At Julie -Notary Public, I do more than notarize and walk your documents through the apostille process with the Washington Secretary of State.
I would like to help you start at the right step by encouraging you to ask the receiving party what they need.
Once we’re clear on:
Which country the document is going to
What that country specifically needs (for example, a certified vital record like a birth or marriage certificate vs. a notarized legal document like a power of attorney or affidavit)
Whether it qualifies for a Washington State apostille (for Hague countries only)
…I take it from there.
And if your document needs to be processed in another state, no worries—I’m part of a trusted network of experienced notaries across the nation. I can help place you in good hands, connecting you with someone who knows their state’s process inside and out, and who can guide you every step of the way.
I work with:
Vital Statistics documents issued in Washington State (birth, marriage, and death certificates)
Private legal documents (power of attorney, affidavits, real estate, corporate documents and more)
And I always make sure you know exactly what to expect at each stage.
You’re Not Just Another Appointment—This Is Your Life, and I Get That
Maybe you’re applying for dual citizenship for your child.
Maybe you’re navigating the legal side of an international inheritance.
Maybe you’re tying up the final pieces of an overseas marriage or adoption.

You won’t find cookie-cutter service here.
You’ll find a real person who gets it—and will be there to help, guide, and make this easier.
