Follow up and coordinate return
Follow up on the submitted request and coordinate return arrangements. Agency processing and carrier delivery times remain outside our control.

Common questions
Does DocuTrust issue the apostille?
No. DocuTrust provides preparation, submission assistance and follow-up. The competent government authority issues the apostille or authentication certificate.
Is an apostille the same as a translation or notarization?
No. They serve different purposes. Share the recipient’s instructions so we can confirm which separate services your document needs.
Can every document be submitted in Florida?
No. The issuing authority and document type matter. Documents issued elsewhere may need a different authority. We confirm whether the Florida submission service fits your document before accepting it.
How long will it take?
Timing depends on document readiness, government processing and delivery. We confirm an estimate after reviewing the request and do not guarantee agency processing or acceptance.
What costs are included?
We confirm DocuTrust’s preparation and handling charge before starting. Government fees, shipping and other third-party costs are listed separately. Any translation or notarization has its own scope.
