Tiffany BlackGoogle review, 5 of 5
I had an amazing experience with Midwest EPCS and notary! I needed a last-minute apostille service for a document going overseas And they handled everything professionally and quickly. I’m located in Kansas City and they were able to apostle my Missouri document the same day what really impressed me was how knowledgeable and responsive they were. They walked me through the entire process, including how the apostle works for international use. They also partner with Midwest identity services for fingerprinting, which made it so convenient because I was able to get my FD – 258 fingerprinting card done at the same location. If you are looking for notary services near Kansas City or need help with apostille documents. For immigration, foreign travel, or business, I highly recommend Midwest EPCS and notary. They truly care about the customers and go above and beyond. They are a hidden gym from anyone needing a apostille services In Missouri or Kansas, and even offer nationwide apostille Courier service!!! I’ll definitely be using them again

Read before you send.
Short, practical guides written from the questions clients ask us most.
All guides and FBI resourcesWhat is an apostille?
An apostille is a certification that authenticates the origin of a public document so it can be used in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.
How long does an apostille take?
Missouri and Kansas documents can be apostilled the same day ($180 Missouri, $250 Kansas) when they reach us by the cutoff: 10 AM for Kansas, 1 PM for Missouri. Standard processing takes 7 to 14 business days ($90 Missouri, $110 Kansas). Texas expedited service takes 2 to 3 business days; expedited service for other states is quoted on request.
Do you offer same-day apostille services?
Yes, for Missouri and Kansas documents only. Kansas documents must be received by 10 AM and Missouri documents by 1 PM. If your document arrives before the same-day cutoff and we don’t complete it that day, we refund the expedited fee.
What is the difference between an apostille and legalization?
An apostille is one certificate accepted by Hague Convention member countries. Countries outside the convention require embassy legalization: U.S. Department of State certification followed by the destination embassy, and often a final Ministry of Foreign Affairs step.
Can I notarize documents online?
Yes. We offer remote online notarization (RON) through our Missouri-based secure digital platform.
Do you provide FBI background check apostille services?
Yes. We can take your fingerprints, obtain your FBI Identity History Summary and have it apostilled by the U.S. Department of State. For non-Hague countries we handle FBI background check legalization.
Do you offer mobile notary services?
Yes. Our mobile notaries meet clients at homes, offices and public locations across the Kansas City area, with daytime, evening and weekend availability.
