SSA letter apostil. Urgent by RexTechGuy

Howdy all, Can anyone please tell me if BG will accept my SSA letter with a custodial certificate along with its apostil? It's pretty much my only option at this point. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

RexTechGuy

I already have it. Use OneSourceProcess. I had it in a few days start to finish. They offer a custodial certificate for notarization, and did the apostille. FedEx to me. Picked up in Burgas. Not cheap, but had it extremely fast. Read More
