These often need notarization and then an apostille for use abroad (Hague destinations). Email the country + PDF first — wrong object still bounces.

Private documents (often RON → apostille)

- Powers of attorney (property, financial, parental)

- Affidavits and sworn statements (including support / single-status when the desk asks for a notarized affidavit)

- Consents (travel, medical, school)

- Authorizations / appointment of agent

- Corporate authorizations, board resolutions, banking authority letters (when private, not a state-issued public record)

- Trade / free-sale style private statements the receiving office named (confirm path)

School & education (path depends)

- Affidavits or consents tied to study-abroad packets often private RON → apostille

- Diplomas and transcripts sold as the school’s public record often issuer / issuing-state SOS, not “any notary stamps a photocopy.” Confirm before you book. Students: /student-apostille

Usually not this pages casual RON path

- Vital records (birth / death / marriage) — certified copy from the issuing office, then that state’s SOS

- FBI / federal documents — US Department of State, not a state SOS

- Non-Hague destinations — authentication / embassy, not apostille
