Certified Document Authentication & Professional Exam Supervision

Need to send documents internationally and require proctored exams for certification, licensing, admissions, or remote testing? Sims Notary Services, LLC offers expert apostille processing and exam proctor services throughout Houston, Pearland, Missouri City, League City, Friendswood, Baytown, and surrounding counties.

We handle complex document authentication and provide trusted proctoring support for academic and professional tests — all with exceptional accuracy, compliance, and convenience.

What Is an Apostille & Why Do You Need One?

An apostille is an official certification attached to a public document to verify its authenticity for use in countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention. If you’re using documents overseas — for work, study, immigration, adoption, or business — an apostille is often required to make them legally valid.

Though all apostilles are issued at the Texas Secretary of State office in Austin, professional services like ours facilitate the process, including document preparation, notarial review, courier submission, and secure return.

Types of Documents We Apostille

We assist with apostilles and authentication for a wide range of personal and official paperwork, including:

  • Birth & Marriage Certificates
  • Power of Attorney & Estate Documents
  • School Transcripts & Diplomas
  • Adoption Records
  • Corporate Business Filings
  • Court Documents & Legal Papers
  • FBI Background Checks & Federal Documents

Our team verifies your documents and guides you through what needs certification, notarization, or supplemental authentication before apostille.

How Apostille Processing Works

  1. Document Review & Preparation – We determine what you need authenticated and ensure all signatures are valid.
  2. Notary Verification (If Needed) – We can notarize documents requiring a signature before apostille.
  3. Submission to State/Federal Authority – Your documents are filed with the appropriate government office for apostille or legalization.
  4. Certified Return Delivery – Receive your apostilled documents via secure mail or personal pickup.

This start-to-finish service saves you time, stress, and costly errors — especially if you’re sending documents internationally.

I sent a request to have a notary proctor my exam and then notarize the results via Yelp. Jalisa was first to respond and I am so happy she did. She met me at the designated location and was professional from the moment I met her. I booked her time for three hours and she was patient and such a pleasure to have present. She is thorough in her work and her documentation. I am very impressed with her demeanor, professionalism, pleasantness and work ethic. I highly recommend and of course I will use her services on the future. Her price accurately reflects her value.

If you need a notary on the fly, here she is. I called her and she was here in 25 minutes with a reasonable price. Being from out of state, completing a medical document for my mother in law, in was a pleasant experience to have someone who is loquacious with a nice smile.

Sims notary makes online notary and apostille look easy. This is the second time I needed them for an online notary to notarize and apostille a document since my brother's are in another state and my cousin is in another country. I can't believe we got it all done in 5 minutes but without online notary would take months or years of strife and unpleasant moments. They give me hope in an otherwise hopeless situation. Thank you so much Sims Notary.

Punctual, friendly, professional! My family encountered urgent notary needs as a result of my Grandfather’s hospitalization. Jalisa was able to meet at the hospital and do all the paperwork we needed. She was not only efficient and professional, but also extremely kind and patient. Highly recommend for your notary needs.

Jalisa was such a blessing in our situation! She helped print documents we were unable to print, traveled to our location, and was able to schedule a time on very short notice. She is knowledgeable, efficient, and just lovely to work with.
