Houston apostilles, without the drive to Austin.
Every Texas apostille is issued in Austin — 165 miles from downtown Houston. Overnight your document to our Austin team instead: we walk it in, seal it, and ship it back tracked.
Overnight beats the round trip.
From Houston you have three options: drive three hours each way and stand in the walk-in line, mail directly to the state and wait out a roughly two-week queue, or overnight it to a team standing at the counter. Ship Monday and your document is typically over the state counter Tuesday and back in your hands midweek.
Houston's international business and energy sector make corporate apostilles a daily request here — certificates of good standing, formation documents, and commercial agreements for overseas partners. Bulk and law-firm pricing applies from the fifth document.
Se habla español: Houston is our largest Spanish-language market, and the entire service runs bilingually — empiece en español aquí.

Before you order
Pop-up office?
Houston has seen limited state pop-up service, but the permanent apostille office is Austin. Hand-delivery there is the reliable route.
Door-to-door time?
Typically 2-4 business days with overnight shipping both ways, versus ~2 weeks via the state mail queue.
En español?
Sí — todo el servicio funciona en español, de la cotización a la entrega.

- Harris County clerk certified copies (marriage, DBA records) apostille smoothly; hospital birth souvenirs do not — order the certified copy first.
- Consulate legalization for non-Hague destinations (common for Gulf-region partners) follows the authentication we handle.
