What is the document?
Tell us the document type and where it came from: state office, county, court, company registry, school, or another source.
Request
Send the document type, destination country, and real deadline. If someone may need to sign or notarize, use upload or registration. If there is nothing to sign, use this request form for apostille, certified copy, shipping, legalization, or review.
Start your request
Use this form for birth certificates, official records, already-notarized documents, apostille, certified copy, legalization, shipping, or document review. If someone may need to sign or notarize, use the upload path instead and mention apostille or shipping in that form.
Notary Geek has handled more than 15,000 document or client matters through its service and related workflows. The point of this intake is to confirm the right next step before you pay.
If originals need to move, ask before shipping. For completed records or documents that do not need notarization first, we can often provide a FedEx label so the package goes to the right place the first time.

Not sure?
You do not need to know the whole process before starting. Send the document, destination country, recipient instructions, or company/record details. We confirm the next step before final payment.
Signature path
If someone may need to sign or notarize the document, start at the online notary upload page. If apostille or shipping is needed after notarization, say that in the form.
Before you message us
Send what you have. We will ask for anything missing.
Tell us the document type and where it came from: state office, county, court, company registry, school, or another source.
Tell us the destination country and any embassy or consulate instructions you already have.
Tell us the real deadline and whether you need scan-back, courier delivery, or original documents shipped.
Tell us whether you need a record obtained, an apostille, legalization, a notary step, or review of documents already in hand.
Once those facts are in the request, we can usually tell you what should happen next.
Pick the workflow
Start with the facts that tell us what kind of job this is. We can often review company and official-record requests before the document is physically in hand.
Use this when you need a company status document, certified copy, court record, or other official record obtained. For many company records, the company name and document type are enough to start.
Start record request ReviewUse this when the record is already in hand and you want the suggested next step explained before apostille, legalization, or mailing.
Send record details NotaryUse the online notary upload page when someone may need to sign or notarize. If apostille or shipping is needed afterward, say that in the form.
Upload or register for free Third-partyUse this when a lawyer, employer, family member, or other organizer is sending the documents first, handling payment, or keeping the signer workflow simple, and that organizer is not also a signer. The signer still has to communicate directly before the request is accepted.

Combined packages
California Apostille helps with California documents. If the same order also includes a signer-created document, that document may use a Florida online notary public through Notary Geek, while the California record stays with the California apostille handling.
A company status document, certified copy, articles, court record, or county record generally follows the state or office that issued that record.
An operating agreement, POA, affidavit, authorization letter, UBO letter, or similar document may need an online notary act first. That notary act is commonly handled through a Notary Geek Florida online notary public.
Before final payment, we identify how each document will be handled so the online notary step is explained clearly when it belongs in the package.
Special intake paths
Most customers can use upload/registration or the main request form. These paths help when someone else is organizing first or the documents are already with Notary Geek.
Use this when a lawyer, employer, family member, or other organizer wants to give us the documents first and keep the signer path simpler.
Use this when the package is already with us and the signer only needs to add their details.
If the signer is starting the request and has the document, upload or register from the standard notary path.
Verification sources
Use official records and public profiles to verify the service before sending documents. Online notarization usually uses Florida online notaries. State-issued records stay with the office or state that issued them. Signers outside the U.S. can use a non-U.S. passport and do not need a Social Security Number.
Each card opens the source directly so you can confirm the latest profile, rating, or listing in its original context.
Tools we use
You should not have to figure out whether the next step is payment, ID, notary, apostille, or shipping. Send the document first. We put the next step in the right order.
When it is time to pay, we use our direct Stripe account.
When ID verification applies, use the real ID in your hand. The check asks for a selfie; a photo or scan is not a substitute.
When shipping is part of the job, we work through our direct FedEx and DHL accounts.
Provider names explain tools we use. They do not mean the provider sponsors us, endorses us, or decides the route.
Operating experience
These figures come from Notary Geek's own records. Use them as background, then verify the public sources above when you want independent proof.
