This company does what it advertises
Not me / Matthew / Google review Feb.2025
This company does what it advertises. They even Fedex'd my original apostille documents directly to Manila and they were waiting for me when I got there. I literally landed in Manila late Monday night and Tuesday morning I was submitting my paperwork for a SRRV retirement Visa. I am soooo happy I found this company - definitely worth every penny I spent.
Outstanding service...
Yuval Bugajski / Google review
I own a relocation agency in Paris, and for many French administrative procedures, birth and marriage certificates are crucial. Elena's outstanding service has been invaluable because obtaining these documents from Paris by ourselves is impossible.
Elena is professional, accurate and reliable. I've had the pleasure of working with her on numerous occasions, and I can confidently say she's someone you can completely trust, which is essential in any business partnership.
Highly recommended!
100% recommended!

Thank you for your professional work, Elena! We have got our apostille recently and we are so happy that we had such easy going and positive experience, I thought before that the word “apostille” it must be complicated for sure, but your approach and wonderful work has completely changed my opinion:)
I would give 10 stars if possible!
Elie Himy / Google Review
I would give 10 stars if possible! I am applying for a visa in Spain and was given 10 days by the government to provide some apostilled documents.

Katerina M., San Mateo, CA / Yelp review
I would give 10 stars if I could!
By far the very best agent for certifications and apostilles.
I highly recommend Elena for excellent communication, above and beyond service, competence, speed, professionalism and awesome pricing. I was under pressure to meet strict deadlines for a death certificate apostille for Greece. Elena saved the day and was a star throughout! I wish there were clones of hers everywhere in the world :).
With warmth and courtesy, Elena took away all the stress of bureaucracy, answered every small and big question of mine promptly and delivered far beyond my expectations. And all this with the most reasonable pricing in the market.
So wonderful to see excellent people doing excellent work. Thank you, Elena!
I was nervous I sent my forms to a place I didn't know...
Eve L., Orlando, FL / Yelp review
So I just got back from the Dominican Republic where I got married! Anyways I live in Orlando Florida and was born in NYC... since I decided to get married in my spouses country I needed my birth certificate to be apostilled, I had my original birth certificate from 1995 in mint condition... NYC was requiring a letter of authentication and that I ordered a new birth certificate. That would have not been a problem if I wasn't short on time. I contacted foreign documents express and Elena assisted me with every question I had. She advised if my birth certificate was original she can have that one apostilled... I went with my gut instinct and I Fed ex the document to her 2 day on Friday November 17 (weekends don't count) and she got it on Monday November 20th... I was nervous I sent my forms to a place I didn't know , I didn't know if this was legit long story short on November 22, 2017 Elena emailed me advising my document was successfully apostilled and was on its way back to me via Fed ex 2 day shipping....Amazing considering it was thanksgiving week and I was flying out of the country shortly.
For my wedding on December 3rd. This was the best $125.00 I have ever spent. Elena was super patient with me and all my questions and remained very professional. I'm back and my wedding was perfect and the fact that all my paperwork was in order was one less thing I had to worry about. If I ever need this service for what ever it is I will trust it no questions asked!!!!! If you need your document apostilled for what ever reason please don't hesitate with doing business with Foreign Documents Express... I am One that leaves detailed reviews as we as humans love to complain about the negative but never take a moment to applaud excellence. Thank you Foreign Documents Express for helping me and thank you Elena for answering all my questions it felt good that even though you been doing this for years you didn't treat me like I had also, you are awesome. Just know your one of the few that made my special day come true and Foreign Documents Express is lucky to have you representing it!!!!
A number of times they were able to catch mistakes I had made in my request that would have caused problems in the other countries.
Michael Flink / LinkedIn review
I have needed quite a few documents legalized over the past few years to use in other countries. I have found this company to be extremely knowledgable and very fast at getting the work done correctly. A number of times they were able to catch mistakes I had made in my request that would have caused problems in the other countries. I would recommend Foreign Documents Express.
You are in good hands.
Cecilia Morozov / Google review
Well...where do I start? I could write a story!
This company is so professional and Elena is just to good at her job. In all honesty, I was a bit sceptical about this, so if you feel the same, please don't worry , these people know exactly what they are doing, you are in good hands.
I live in England, but I am married and divorced in The United States, and to make it even more interesting, I am a Romanian citizen, so I had to have my documents retrieved from the court that proclaimed my divorce in the states (a new legalized copy was needed for the apostille) and then I had to have it apostilled.
It all seamed impossible, until I have surfed the web and found Elena and Foreign Documents Express .
They literally took care off everything, and within 6 weeks I had my documents delivered via FedEx , right on my door steps.
If you think it's pricey , well, it is not! I have saved so much personal time and travel time, I wouldn't of known where to start.
And only to mention, I have been in touch with other companies of such in the states, but they couldn't deliver what Foreign Documents Express was able to .
It is a bit of a shame that people don't leave more reviews, this company deserves good advertisement!
Simply amazing!

This is an excellent service, highly efficient, which keeps its word. In view of an international marriage to be celebrated in France, my fiancé and I required an apostille for his NYC birth certificate. Foreign Documents Express replied forthwith to my request with a clear time frame for procurement. They also kept us informed throughout as to the progress of the procedure. And then they delivered, right on time. Who, as they say in the trade, could ask for anything more ?
Fast, friendly and best bang for your money.

I needed to get an apostille for the death certificate of my client's father and Foreign Documents Express was able to obtain one practically overnight. The fee for their service was very reasonable. In addition, Elena was conscientious and courteous: after mailing the apostilled document to me and tracking it and learning that it had been left at my front door, she even wrote to me to make sure that I had actually received it. I recommend this company highly, without reservation!
Super fast and super efficient service.

You will not be able to find a better service than this. Super fast and super efficient service. Very reasonable and fair cost. Uber responsive to any query. Would highly recommend their services. For someone who has done their homework with other consultants, let me assure you that they are the best at what they do.
