Certificate of Registration Apostille
A certificate of registration can prove a business name, a trademark, a facility or a foreign qualification. The first step is identifying exactly who issued yours.
What this document is
Issuers range from state agencies to federal offices and private bodies. That issuer determines the correct apostille route, so two documents with the same title may follow different paths.
Where it is used
Spanish and Portuguese buyers and regulators may request a registration to confirm that a supplier or product is properly listed in the United States.
How to prepare it
- Send a clear image showing the issuing body.
- Note the registration number and expiry date.
- Explain what the foreign party wants the document to prove.
Check this first
A registration issued by a federal agency may need the State Department route and price instead. We confirm the right path before you pay.
How the apostille is obtained
- We review the document and check whether a notarized copy meets the request.
- A Maryland notary performs the notarization.
- The Circuit Court clerk certifies the notary where required, and the Maryland Secretary of State issues the apostille.
- We scan the apostilled document and email you a high-resolution PDF.
A common question
Is a trademark registration handled the same way?
A registration from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office is federal. Send it to us for review so we can tell you the route.
