Economy Texas Apostille Service

Professional Service Fee: $125 per submission

Our Economy Texas Apostille Service is designed for clients who already have a properly prepared, apostille-ready Texas document and simply want Clark Apostille Services to handle the submission logistics.

This is our lowest-cost service option and is best for clients who do not have a firm deadline and do not need document correction, detailed eligibility review, notarization guidance, retrieval assistance, or other enhanced support.

Estimated Processing Time

Please allow approximately 3–6 weeks or longer after Clark Apostille Services has received and accepted your apostille-ready document.

Economy orders are generally submitted to the Texas Secretary of State by mail.

Processing times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Turnaround may be affected by government processing volume, postal delays, holidays, closures, document issues, correction requirements, or other circumstances outside our control.

This service is not recommended for time-sensitive matters.

• Basic intake review

• Preparation of the apostille submission package

What Economy Service Does Not Include

• Birth certificate or other document retrieval

• Destination-country requirement research

• Consular or embassy requirement research

• Translation coordination

• Multiple rounds of document review

Your Document Must Already Be Apostille-Ready

Economy service is intended for clients who already have the correct original, certified, or properly notarized Texas document ready for submission.

Clark Apostille Services will perform a basic intake review to confirm that the document appears suitable for submission. However, Economy service does not include an in-depth eligibility or notarization review.

A basic intake review does not guarantee that the Texas Secretary of State will issue an apostille.

Birth Certificates and Other Retrieved Documents

Economy service is generally not appropriate when Clark Apostille Services must first obtain a birth certificate, certified copy, or other government-issued record on your behalf.

If document retrieval is required, the retrieval process must be completed first and will be quoted separately.

Any advertised apostille processing timeframe begins only after Clark Apostille Services has received the qualifying apostille-ready document.

Additional Expenses

The $125 professional service fee does not include:

• Texas Secretary of State filing fee of $15 per document

• Postage to and from the Texas Secretary of State

• Return shipping to the client

• International shipping

• Notarization

• Document retrieval

• Certified copies

• Translation

• Other third-party services

All anticipated additional expenses will be disclosed in your customized quote before processing begins.
