Connect with Our Team

Partnership

We operate as a back-office extension of your legal or compliance team. From clarifying what you need to flagging gaps in the information provided, we keep you informed while we do the legwork. Need those records prepped for apostille, legalization, or same-day filing? We pair Document Retrieval with our Dedicated Courier services for end-to-end support.

Partnership in Practice

Predictability

Some offices respond in hours, others in weeks. We set expectations up front based on the jurisdiction and type of record, then provide status updates as your request moves forward. Clear timelines, transparent fees, and realistic expectations mean no one on your team is stuck wondering what happened to “that request we sent weeks ago.

Predictability in Outcomes

Precision

Different courts, agencies, and registries index records differently. We confirm the right jurisdiction, office, record type, and time frame—then tailor our search to that system. Your team gets the right document the first time, not a stack of "close enough" results.

Precision in Execution

Personalized Professional Service

We don’t force you into a one-size-fits-all model. We tailor our support to your workflows and risk requirements, and our specialists show up like an extension of your own team in front of your clients.

Global Network

Tap into a nationwide network of vetted notaries, signing agents, and attorneys who meet enterprise-grade standards. Whether your deals are local or spread across time zones, we help you keep them moving.

Security You Can Rely On

We protect your clients' information with secure document upload, limited notary access, and controlled workflows that reduce data exposure. Background-checked notaries and clear handling standards mean your sensitive documents stay protected.

Above & Beyond

When your deal needs a Friday night signing, a holiday weekend closing, or coordination across multiple time zones, we’re built for it. We step in when timing is tight and competitors can’t deliver.

Satisfaction Guaranteed

We guarantee you will never pay for a mistake made by one of our notaries. If an error on our side leads to re-signing documents, extra shipping, rate-lock extensions, or other related costs, we cover it—and if you’re unhappy with our service, we’ll waive our fee completely, as long as you let us know as soon as possible so we can fix it at no additional cost to you.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We retrieve a wide range of records from courts, corporate registries, and government agencies, including but not limited to court pleadings and orders, docket sheets, corporate formation and good-standing documents, UCC filings, property and real estate records, and certified copies prepared for apostille and legalization workflows.
Both. Document Retrieval is designed for law firms, corporate legal departments, and compliance teams that need reliable access to court records, corporate filings, and certified copies—whether it’s for a single matter or recurring work across multiple jurisdictions.
The more detail, the better. Helpful information includes party names, case numbers, court or jurisdiction, entity names, property details, approximate filing or recording dates, and the specific document type you’re seeking. If something is missing, we’ll let you know what’s essential so we can move forward efficiently.
Yes. In many situations, we can search by party name, entity name, property details, or approximate dates to locate the proper record. We’ll be transparent about what’s realistically searchable based on how that court, recorder, or agency indexes its records.
Timelines vary by office and record type. Some courts and agencies can provide records quickly; others require manual pulls or longer processing windows. When you submit a request, we’ll give you a realistic expectation based on the jurisdiction and whether you need standard or rush handling.
We work with a broad network of courts, recorders, and government offices nationwide. While most standard records are accessible, some items—like sealed cases, confidential filings, or certain agency records—may be restricted. We’ll let you know what’s possible for your specific request and where limitations may exist.
Yes. Where the issuing office offers certification, we can obtain certified copies as well as plain copies for internal use. Certified copies are often requested for court, banking, apostille, or legalization purposes and may involve additional government fees and processing time.
Yes. We frequently retrieve apostille-ready certified copies as part of apostille and legalization workflows. If you tell us up front that the documents will be used internationally, we’ll make sure they’re obtained in the correct format and certification level and can be paired with our apostille, legalization, and Dedicated Courier services.
In most cases, we deliver records as secure electronic copies through our portal or another approved secure method. When originals or certified copies are required, we can coordinate physical delivery or shipping according to your instructions.
Yes. We frequently coordinate document retrieval across multiple counties, courts, or states for a single litigation matter, transaction, or portfolio. You get one point of contact at Prestige instead of juggling separate requests with each office.
No. We provide document retrieval, not legal advice. Our role is to locate, request, and deliver the records you specify, and confirm that what we received matches the request. Determining the legal impact or sufficiency of those documents remains with your attorneys or internal legal team.
If our search confirms that a document is not recorded, does not exist in the location searched, is sealed, or cannot be located with the available information, we’ll report that back clearly. When appropriate, we’ll also advise whether alternate approaches—such as checking a different office or providing additional identifiers—may be helpful.
Yes. While most of our volume comes from law firms and corporate legal or compliance teams, we also assist individuals, heirs, and personal representatives who need specific records for estates, disputes, or personal transactions.
We treat your information and the records we retrieve with care. Requests and documents are handled through secure channels, and we only use the information you provide to fulfill your order. If your organization has specific security or confidentiality requirements, we’re happy to discuss how we can align with them.
We retain records in line with our internal policies and any applicable requirements, but you should always download and store any critical documents in your own systems. If ongoing access to a set of records is important, we can discuss how best to structure that for your team.
Pricing depends on factors such as the type and number of documents requested, the jurisdictions and offices involved, government or copy fees, and any rush or special handling requirements. Share the details of what you need, and we’ll provide clear, upfront pricing before you approve the request.
Yes. Document Retrieval is often paired with services like Apostille & Legalization, Dedicated Courier, and mass tort or PI workflows so you get end-to-end support—from locating the right record to preparing it for filing, recording, or international use.
