LOUISIANA APOSTILLE
Apostille Services in Louisiana — Fast, Secure, Nationwide
Whether you're moving abroad from New Orleans, applying for dual citizenship out of Shreveport, or handling a corporate filing from Lafayette, Louisiana-issued documents need to be apostilled by the Louisiana Secretary of State before they'll be accepted overseas. We handle the full process end-to-end. Louisiana is unique in that its legal system is based on civil law rather than common law, which sometimes complicates recognition of Louisiana documents abroad — the apostille itself remains standard, but downstream translation and drafting often matter.
Service fee includes state filing fees and U.S. domestic return shipping via 2-day FedEx (UPS used for federal documents only). International return shipping available for an additional fee.
