    What type of Texas document do you need apostilled?

    Start with the document category. We confirm the path.

    Texas apostille pricing and processing depend on the type of document, issuing authority, and destination country. Choose the closest match and APVI will help confirm the correct path.

    Not every country accepts apostilles. If your Texas document is for a non-Hague country, APVI can help confirm whether authentication or embassy legalization is required.

    Pricing & processing

    Texas apostille pricing depends on the document category.

    Personal records, business documents, academic records, and federal documents do not all follow the same apostille path. APVI helps confirm the correct category before your order moves forward.

    Texas Personal / Vital Records

    For Texas birth, death, marriage, divorce, adoption, and name-change records.

    Currently three processing options, subject to issuing authority and document type
    24 Hours: $599 · 5 Days: $399 · 10 Days: $299 per document

    Texas-specific notes

    What to know before sending a Texas document.

    Texas has its own apostille workflow, document rules, and processing timeline. APVI helps confirm the correct path before you send originals or certified copies.

    Texas personal / vital records have three processing options: 24 Hours for $599/document, 5 Days for $399/document, and 10 Days for $299/document.
    Texas birth and marriage records may need to be county-certified or issued in the correct certified format before apostille.
    Texas academic documents may require verification from the issuing school, registrar, or academic authority before the apostille path can be confirmed.
    Texas corporate filings and business records may follow a different path than personal/vital records.
    Texas personal / vital records follow state-specific pricing and should not be grouped under the $149 standard apostille price.
    Texas business, academic, professional, and standard documents may follow the standard apostille pricing where applicable.
    APVI will confirm whether the Texas document is a personal record, business document, academic record, professional document, court record, or another eligible Texas document before submission.

    Common Texas apostille mistakes

    Most apostille delays start with the wrong path.

    APVI helps customers avoid common document-routing mistakes before originals or certified copies are sent.

    Using the wrong state

    Personal records usually need to be apostilled through the state that issued the document.

    Treating personal records like standard documents

    Birth, marriage, death, divorce, adoption, and name-change records often follow different pricing and state-specific handling.

    Sending FBI reports through Texas

    FBI Background Checks follow the federal apostille process, not the Texas state apostille path.

    Skipping destination review

    Some countries need embassy legalization instead of apostille.

    Sending the wrong copy

    Some records may require a certified copy or specific issuing authority version.

    Shipping before review

    APVI helps confirm what must be sent before you ship original or certified documents.

    Apostille vs. embassy legalization

    The destination country determines the final path.

    Some countries accept apostilles. Others may require a longer authentication or embassy legalization process.

    Apostille

    • Used when the destination country accepts apostilles for the document type involved
    • Texas personal, business, academic, legal, and professional documents for Hague Apostille Convention countries

    Embassy Legalization

    • Used when the destination country requires a different authentication chain for the document
    • Documents for non-Hague countries or country-specific consular requirements

    Not sure which applies? Call (800) 766-0452.
