Illinois Apostille for Mexico
Residency, dual nationality, marriage, and family matters
In short: Mexico is a Hague Apostille Convention member, so Illinois documents used in Mexico need an apostille from the Illinois Secretary of State. We apostille Illinois birth and marriage certificates, powers of attorney, and other documents for Mexican residency, dual nationality, marriage, and family matters — by mail, from anywhere.
Common uses
Temporary and permanent residency, dual nationality, marriage in Mexico, and property or power-of-attorney matters. Mexico often requires a certified Spanish translation — we can coordinate it.
How it works — a 100% remote process
- Tell us what you need. Call or text 847-436-5222 or request a quote. We confirm exactly which document you have and where it's going.
- Send us your document. Mail or courier it to our Naperville office. If it needs to be notarized first, we can handle that too.
- We submit to the Illinois Secretary of State. Standard by mail, or we hand-carry it to the Chicago counter for expedited processing.
- We return it, tracked. Back to you or straight to your recipient, domestic or international, with status you can follow the whole way.
Vital records and notarized documents start at $99 per document plus the $2 state fee; return shipping at cost or you provide a label.
