AAApostille

What AAApostille does

AAApostille, operated by Visa Express, Inc., is a US-based document legalization intermediary that helps individuals and businesses obtain apostilles and consular legalization for documents intended for use abroad. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Atlanta, GA with an additional Washington, DC office, the company operates a 100% online service model covering all 50 US states, in which customers upload digital copies of their documents, receive a free pre-processing review, and have documents certified, express-shipped to the relevant state or federal authority for apostille, and returned by mail. The product portfolio is organized around two processing tiers (Standard at $130 and Rush at $195 for the first document, with $70 per additional document, notary and government fees bundled), a horizontal set of document-type-specific services (personal, corporate, academic), and an adjacent same-day certified translation service offered in over 250 languages at $50 per page.

The underlying platform is a self-serve, web-direct workflow with online application, order tracking, and encrypted data handling in transit and at rest; the company does not publish API, SDK, or integration capabilities. The business model is purely transactional, with revenue generated per document processed or per translation page delivered, and customers span individual consumers (e.g., academic credentials for international study, personal records for immigration or marriage abroad), small businesses needing document legalization for international operations, and a small set of recurring B2B intermediaries such as Sprint Document Services. Marketing is concentrated in the company's own website — including state-specific SEO landing pages for all 50 states and comparison content positioning AAApostille as the lowest-priced provider in the category — and the company distributes exclusively through its self-serve online channel, with support provided 7 days a week via chat, phone, and email.

AAApostille is privately held and operates as a small team (1–10 employees) with managing partner Alex Khodorkovsky at Visa Express, Inc. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, partnerships, institutional investors, or parent company, and trades on 25+ years of operating history, standardized transparent pricing, and a remote-first delivery model that removes the need for customers to physically visit government offices.
