Before selecting an apostille partner, agree on the documents, requested work, costs, and responsibilities. Total Technical Solutions helps coordinate document handling with a clear scope and realistic timing.

Agree on the work with your apostille partner

Identify the document, its issuing jurisdiction, the destination country, and the recipient's instructions. Confirm whether the request includes notarization, submission assistance, pickup, or return delivery. These are distinct tasks, and not every package requires all of them.

Ask for the applicable service charges, government fees, shipping costs, and estimated timing. Clarify what happens if an authority requests corrections or additional documents. An estimate should not be treated as a guarantee of a government completion date.

Keep communication practical

Provide a current contact number and return address. Keep an inventory of the documents being handled and confirm the available update arrangements. Do not send extra originals or sensitive information that the request does not require.

The designated government authority issues the apostille, and the receiving organization determines acceptance for its purpose. Total Technical Solutions does not provide legal advice or guarantee an application outcome. Keep a written record of the agreed work and update it if the request changes.
