Can one apostille cover multiple documents?

When one apostille can cover a packet 📑

If multiple pages are permanently attached and clearly presented as a single notarized document, they usually travel under one apostille.

• A multi‑page power of attorney signed once and notarized as one instrument is normally authenticated with a single apostille.
• A board resolution packet where all resolutions are incorporated into one notarized certificate may also qualify as “one document” for apostille purposes.

Common Nevada and Las Vegas scenarios 📂

Clients in North Las Vegas, Downtown Las Vegas, and Boulder City often mix vital records, court documents, and notarized forms in the same international packet.

• Three certified birth certificates for different family members almost always require three apostilles.
• One notarized affidavit with several attached exhibits may still use just one apostille if the exhibits are referenced and stapled as part of the sworn statement.
• A notarized power of attorney plus a separate certified court order will typically need two apostilles, because each is issued or signed by a different authority.

How to avoid unnecessary apostilles ✅

Thoughtful document design can sometimes reduce your total apostille count without cutting legal corners.

• Ask whether several statements can be combined into a single notarized affidavit instead of multiple separate documents.
• Confirm with the consulate, school, or bank whether every record needs its own apostille or whether a few key documents are enough.
• Order only the certified copies that must appear in the foreign file so you do not pay Nevada’s per‑document fees more than necessary.

What the $15 Scanback Service Includes

The scanback service is designed to create a usable, legible digital record of your completed apostille packet. It is billed per set of documents, not per page, so you know what to expect up front.

• High‑quality scan of the full apostille packet: Including the notarized document and the attached apostille certificate.
• PDF file delivery: Typically sent securely by email or another agreed method.
• Flat pricing: $15 per scanback set for most apostille orders.

When a Scanback Does and Does Not Replace the Original

For most courts, consulates, and government agencies, the original paper apostille remains the controlling document. The PDF is primarily for your internal use and for preliminary review by third parties.

• Appropriate uses for scanbacks: Attorney review, school or HR pre‑screening, internal compliance files, or sharing with family members.
• Situations that usually require the original: Visa and immigration filings, foreign court submissions, formal school enrollment, or bank and real estate transactions.

Adding Scanback to Your Apostille Order

You can request scanback when you first book or at any point before final shipment is arranged. The $15 fee will appear as a separate line item on your quote or invoice so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

If you already have an order in process and decide you want a digital copy, let Lake Mead Mobile Notary know before the packet leaves the office so the scan can be created without delaying shipping.
