Proof of funds for international procedures
We coordinate the apostille of proof-of-funds letters or statements issued by a U.S. bank, often requested for real estate purchases, investor visas or school enrollment abroad. We review the document first, because the procedure depends on who signs it and the state, and we tell you what is needed before promising the procedure.

What is a proof of funds used for?
A proof of funds shows that a person or company has a certain amount of money available. It is commonly requested for real estate purchases abroad, investor or residency visa applications, and school or university enrollment. For international use it may require an apostille.
Key points about your proof of funds
A proof of funds is usually a private document; before it can be apostilled, the signature or the letter itself often needs notarization, bank certification, or authentication.
Official bank letterhead or statement
Ideally the letter should be issued on the bank's official letterhead, or be an official account statement.
A signature that can be authenticated
The signature may need notarization or authentication; the procedure depends on who signs and in which state.
Not every bank certifies the same way
Some banks issue a signed letter, others only an account statement; we help you find the right route for your bank.
We review before promising the procedure
We first review the document to confirm that it can be apostilled and how.
How to have it ready
Notarized or authenticated letter
The notarized letter or the one with an authenticated signature is what gets apostilled.
Certified account statement
Some destinations accept an official statement instead of a letter, when it applies to the receiving authority.
Translation
If the destination country requires it, we coordinate a certified translation.
