Can I Get a Digital Copy of My Apostilled Document?
Yes. Lake Mead Mobile Notary offers an optional $15 scanback service that creates a clear PDF copy of your completed apostille packet—including the notarized document and the attached apostille certificate—before the originals are packaged and shipped or hand-delivered to their final destination.
The physical originals still move through standard shipping or courier service, but the scanback gives you a digital version for your records and for quick review by attorneys, schools, or advisors.
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.
Why a Digital Copy Is Helpful
A digital copy lets you quickly forward the apostilled document to decision‑makers while the original is in transit to a court, university, consulate, or business. It also gives you a permanent backup file in case the physical envelope is ever misplaced or if you need to reference the apostille details for future applications.
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.
