Where do I start?
Speedy service: They got everything notarised and sent back to us within a couple of days! couldn't believe it!

Customer service: Small spelling error was found (not their fault, the initial document had weird font) --> when pointed out they offered many solutions, including re-doing the entire thing with free next day delivery to ensure that we got the document ahead of our deadline - no fuss nothing, just incredible customer service all round.

Thank you for your help and service :) <3

Excellent Service and Customer Care

I appreciate the speed and efficiency of the service and team for the apostille service which I rely on for my business helping people with visas and residencies in Spain through Help At Hand Spain. I recently used 1st Apostille for a notarisation, and the seamless service between notary and apostille was really great (thanks to Elena for amazing customer service). Overall very reliable and happy.

Fast Track Apostille + Erica = <3

Erica provided exceptional assistance with an apostille request. As a notary myself, I appreciate precise and efficient process knowledge. Erica delivered exactly that, offering clear guidance on internal procedure and successfully facilitating an expedited handling of my matter. Her intervention was professional, effective, and highly valued. I recommend her services without reservation.

Very fast excellent service. Very professional.
Essential to receive documents fast for marriage in another country. Highly recommend. I'm from Northern Ireland apostilles difficult to source here and take too long to process. 1st Apostille were very fast in providing what I needed.
