Case Study: Correcting a Rejected Apostille for a Manhattan Client
Client Background:
A client based in Manhattan needed a Power of Attorney notarized for property matters in India. Her sister, who lives in Boston, found my notary services on Yelp and recommended me after reviewing my experience and positive feedback. Another sister was located in New Jersey, so coordination among the three was important throughout the process.
Challenge:
Several weeks after I completed the notarization, the Manhattan client reached back out. She had a different document that had been apostilled months earlier by another provider — but the process was handled incorrectly, and the document was rejected. This caused significant delays and frustration.
Solution:
I reviewed the rejected apostille, identified what went wrong, and clearly explained the correction process. I then personally managed the entire apostille submission — ensuring the document met all New York State and international requirements.
Results:
The corrected apostille was successfully completed the same day, allowing the client to move forward without further issues. She was extremely grateful for the fast turnaround and for finally having the process done correctly after her prior experience.
Takeaway:
This case demonstrates the importance of working with a knowledgeable notary and apostille professional. Proper preparation, attention to detail, and familiarity with state procedures can prevent unnecessary rejections and delays when dealing with international documents.
