Apostille by Destination Country
Mexico joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1995, so Maryland documents for Mexico receive an apostille instead of embassy legalization. We coordinate notarization, the Maryland apostille, certified Spanish translation when needed, and tracked delivery.
Mexico joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1995, so Maryland documents for Mexico receive an apostille instead of embassy legalization. We coordinate notarization, the Maryland apostille, certified Spanish translation when needed, and tracked delivery.
For Mexico we handle notarization first when your document needs it, clerk certification for notarized records, the Maryland Secretary of State apostille, and a federal apostille for federally issued documents, followed by tracked shipping. Certified Spanish translation is coordinated in the format the receiving office accepts, and consultations are available in Spanish so nothing is lost between languages.
Plan on the chain moving in stages: preparation and notarization, the clerk step for notarized documents, the Secretary of State apostille, any translation work, and then transit to Mexico. Government queues set the pace for the middle steps, so we confirm the current estimate for your exact document set when you book.
As a Hague member, Mexico accepts the apostille as the legalization for Maryland documents, and Mexican consulates do not issue apostilles themselves. Some Mexican authorities require translation by an official expert translator in Mexico, so asking your receiving office which translation it accepts will prevent a second round.

No. Consulates do not issue apostilles, because the certificate must come from the jurisdiction that issued or notarized the document. Maryland documents go to the Maryland Secretary of State, and federally issued documents go to the United States Department of State.
Many Mexican offices require one, and some insist on an official expert translator in Mexico rather than a translation prepared here. Check with your receiving office first, and where a translation prepared here is acceptable we coordinate it with a notarized translator affidavit in the apostille chain.
The total turns on the clerk and Secretary of State queues, whether translation is part of your file, and shipping time to Mexico. We give you the current step-by-step estimate at booking and keep you posted as the file moves.
