Death certificate apostille, handled with the care it deserves.
Settling an estate across borders, claiming foreign pensions or insurance, or arranging repatriation all require the apostilled death certificate. We keep this process fast, exact, and quiet.
Certified copies only, and we verify before you ship.
The Secretary of State apostilles certified copies of the death certificate issued by Texas DSHS Vital Statistics or the local registrar where the death was recorded. Funeral-home paperwork and photocopies do not qualify. If you need additional certified copies, we point you to the fastest ordering route — foreign banks, registries, and consulates frequently each want their own sealed copy.
Families reach us for cross-border estate settlement, foreign pension and life-insurance claims, property transfers abroad, and repatriation arrangements. These weeks are hard enough; our job is one clean handoff, clear updates, and no surprises.
Multiple sealed copies?
Order them together — each additional certified copy apostilles at the add-on rate, and everything returns in one tracked package.
