Authentications and Document Legalizations

When exporting goods or working with contracts internationally, there are many documents that require various levels of authentication, before they will be considered valid overseas.

Corporate and Personal Documents must have an original signature and be attested to by a notary public. Public documents, such as birth and marriage certificates, must be certified copies issued by a government office.

Perry International can then procure the rest of the seals required. Our service charge is $35 per document per seal obtained in Chicago, and $48 per document per seal obtained in Washington DC. This does not include shipping fees or charges by the offices issuing the seals.
