Each of my Apostille Training Academy courses (Courses 1 & 2)  contain over 7 hours of comprehensive fundamental training with another 5-6 hours of bonus training videos if you were to watch everything straight through.

The Fundamentals of Apostilles Course includes multiple scenario videos, walking you through several typical client call scenarios, as well as walking you through the step-by-step general process of preparing various documents to be submitted to various government agencies (i.e. The Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State).

Each lesson includes:

• Downloadable handbook pages for you to print, compile, and take notes. 

• Dozens of flow charts and reference resources that will equip you to perform as a professional Apostille Agent.

• Quizzes that enable you to retain important fundamentals taught in these comprehensive courses. 

You can learn at your own pace. Learn it all in a few evenings or weekends or over the course of several weeks or months. The choice is yours. 

The best part about the Ezra Apostille Training Academy is that it has so much comprehensive step-by-step instruction s, videos, and downloadable resources that it provides incredible value to both beginners and advanced Notary Public professionals.

Not only do I teach you  and demonstrate for you step-by-step instructions on how to provide various apostilles and authentications. In my second course: The Professional Apostille Agent, I teach you basic business skills tailored to being an Apostille Agent like myself so that you not only will you understand the fundamentals of processing Apostilles but you will also understand the basic fundamentals for running your own Apostille/Notary business.

There is not a lot of overhead or equipment needed in this business. But I will show you everything you need and how to get it. 

If you sign up for my Mentorship Program I will also give you ongoing support, answering all of your questions along the way. 

I am confident that you will be able to do this business with confidence and professionalism. 

Advanced Notary Publics and professionals will also will appreciate the wealth of wisdom and knowledge I will provide you both in as an Apostille Agent, but also as a entrepreneur professional.

Please note - I do not recommend that you quit your current job until you have had adequate time to take the training, launch your business, and see adequate traffic come through for you to make that transitional decision. 

I originally chose this trade as a side business so that I could still be a pastor. I am still a pastor by choice, but I have more than enough work to sustain my wife and I full-time. 

No. In all reality there are no required credentials. 

Nonetheless, many documents that need to be Apostilled also need to be Notarized. Therefore, it is an essential benefit for you to be a Commissioned Notary Public.

In addition, as an Apostille Agent I have come across many basic notarial errors performed by other Commissioned Notary Publics. By having a working knowledge of basic notarial laws I was able to prevent the documents from being rejected an Apostille by the Secretary of State by having the notarial errors fixed prior to submitting the documents.

Many times, this knowledge has beautifully modeled my creditability and professionalism to my prospective clients (including major corporations who had employed Notaries who violated some basic notarial laws). Had I submitted the documents not knowing the notarial laws, it would have been my credibility and reliability that could have been tarnished from the client's perspective. 

I see myself as the professional when it comes to Notaries and Apostilles to the general public. I should be specialized in my trade and industry, this includes being a Notary Public and knowing basic notarial laws. To me it would be like being a baseball player who did not know the rules of the game. It is just a given.

Most Notaries and people in general find Apostilles and the process to be very complicated. That is because they don't understand it. That is what I am teaching you here, to make you look and feel confident you know what you are doing as a knowledgeable Professional Apostille Agent.

You don't need a degree or any special certifications. Although not required, it will be to your great advantage to be a Commissioned Notary Public. It will be to your great advantage to know basic notarial laws. Nonetheless, you can truly start this business with no education or experience!

Obtaining a Notary Commission is very easy. In most States you just simply need to apply. Some States such as California, require that you take an exam. In either case, it generally takes two weeks to two months to get your Notary Commission.
