Your documents may require the services of one or all of these organizations, but you will never incur any hidden fees. We have heard from some of our customers that they had previously used other companies which advertise a low cost, but have additional fees which may double or triple the advertised cost. This will never happen at US Legalization, our fees are given upfront.

The Power of US Legalization

US Legalization is nationally known and widely used by many large companies for their legal and commercial certification needs. We pride ourselves in our stellar reputation with foreign embassies. We have an exclusive relationship with the Arab American Chamber of Commerce (AACC), US Arab Chamber of Commerce (USACC), and the American Cosmetics Manufacturing Association (ACMA) which allows us to service all of your legal and commercial documentation needs.

System Processing

Upon receipt of your documents we will email you an invoice and estimated date of completion. Your document will be prepared by certifying it by the state or chamber of commerce if required on the day that it is received. Due to the fact that the US Department of State opens 8:00 AM and closes at 9:00 AM, your document will be dropped next day of receiving, and picked after 3 business days authenticated by the US Department of State. It will be dropped same day at the designated embassy. The embassy will give us an estimated date for pickup. Our courier will go to the embassy on the given date. If the document is not ready, the courier will return to the embassy daily, until he receives it (there is no extra charge for this). Within a few hours, your document will be hand carried to the FedEx or UPS and shipped. You will receive another email that evening stating that your document has been shipped back to you. This process has been streamlined with our years of experience.
