State-specific review
Illinois authenticates the signature—not the document’s legal content.
Illinois apostilles and certificates confirm the authenticity of an eligible Illinois public official, clerk, local registrar or notary signature.
PRONTO reviews who signed the document and how it was certified before the physical record is mailed for processing.
Before shipping: An Illinois document cannot be routed through Florida merely because PRONTO’s office is in Miami. The issuing state controls the state apostille.
What we check first
Prevent avoidable document rejection
Registrar or clerk signature
Vital records and court documents need an eligible official signature.
Original notarization
Privately signed documents should contain a complete qualifying Illinois notarization.
School preparation
Academic records may require a school statement and notarization before state authentication.
How PRONTO’s service works
From document review to tracked return
You do not have to live in Illinois. The issuing state controls the apostille authority while PRONTO coordinates the order.
Send a clear image
Send the document type, issuing office, destination country and deadline.
Receive our review
We identify the service and explain whether the version appears ready.
Mail to PRONTO
Ship the qualifying original or certified document using our instructions.
Receive tracked return

State and federal routes differ
Illinois documents stay on the Illinois route.
Eligible Illinois public records and Illinois-notarized documents are processed through the state authority. FBI background checks are federal documents and follow a separate U.S. Department of State process.
The destination country matters. Hague and non-Hague destinations can require different certificates or additional steps. PRONTO confirms the appropriate service before processing.
