Beware of Online Apostille Scams: Protect Your Documents
A rising issue in the apostille industry involves fraudulent websites claiming to offer unrealistically quick and easy apostille services. These sites often promise to process apostilles in a matter of hours but end up delivering either no apostille or a fake certificate. Consumers who fall for these scams may end up losing both money and important documents.
How to Avoid Online Apostille Scams:
- Watch for unusually high or unusually low fees: If a service charges much more or much less than typical providers, it could be a scam.
- Beware of fast processing promises: Websites claiming they can complete the apostille in an unrealistic timeframe (e.g., in hours or even in minutes) are fraudulent.
Example from Google: "apostilles for documents certified online with our partner notaries, usually available within minutes"
- Be cautious of guarantees: Scams often claim to guarantee apostilles on all documents, regardless of type or complexity, without document evaluation.
Example from Google: Whether you need to apostille a birth certificate, a marriage certificate, an educational diploma, or other vital record (!?), our online platform provides a simple, secure and affordable solution. The entire process takes only 5 minutes, and you’ll receive your document with an Apostille stamp within 24 hours.
- Sensitive information requests: Avoid services that ask for sensitive personal data without clear justification. You do not need to verify your identity in order to get apostilles for your documents!
Example from Google: "Step 1: Upload your document. Step 2: Checkout. Step 3: Verify your identity (!!)"
Examples of common scams include:
- Some services may offer "digital certification" as a service, which is a sign that the service is not legitimate.
- Some companies claim that they are "accredited" apostille services.
- Some companies guarantee apostilles for scanned copies, without the explanation what steps are involved and what U.S. state an apostille will be from.
- Some companies guarantee apostilles for any kind of scanned documents (including vital records) by attaching a notarized "custodian certificate".
- Some companies ask for upfront payment before reviewing the documents.
