USILACS Apostille & Foreign Legalization

Reliable, professional assistance to authenticate your graduation documents for international use — ensuring your achievements are recognized worldwide.

Why Legalization Matters

Before many countries issue work visas, employment permits, or professional licenses, they require your transcripts, diplomas, and certificates to be legally authenticated. This process, known as apostille or foreign legalization, verifies that your USILACS education is officially recognized abroad.

USILACS manages every step for you — from document preparation and notarization to state, federal, and embassy approvals — saving you time, ensuring accuracy, and keeping you informed throughout the process.

Which Package Should I Choose?

  1. If your destination country is a member of the 1961 Hague Convention, select the State Apostille Package.
  2. If your country is not a member, choose the Complete Foreign Legalization Package, which includes U.S. Department of State and Embassy authentication.

Note: China joined the Hague Convention on November 7, 2023.
