Social security letter apostille
Do you need a Hague apostille for your social Security Benefit Letter? Start here...
Need to use your Social Security benefits letter abroad? Since these letters are only plain printouts (without signatures or seals), the U.S. Department of State will not apostille them. Local SSA offices also do not issue signed or notarized letters.
The solution is notarization at the state level. Simply email us a copy of your Social Security benefits letter, and we’ll handle the notarization in Washington, D.C., followed by obtaining the apostille from the D.C. Secretary of State.
We also apostille other visa and immigration documents—including FBI background checks, passport copies, and birth certificates—ensuring your full application packet is accepted overseas.
Fast, reliable, and hassle-free—we make sure your Social Security letter and supporting documents are legally recognized abroad.
To use your Social Security Benefit Letter internationally, follow these steps:
