MARYLAND APOSTILLE

For Maryland residents planning a move abroad, marrying overseas, pursuing dual citizenship, or filing corporate paperwork internationally, apostille authentication is handled through the Maryland Secretary of State. Maryland's Secretary of State in Annapolis issues apostilles — but county-issued documents typically need a Circuit Court Clerk certification first before the state will authenticate them. We manage submission, tracking, and international return shipping.
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.
