Your Reliable Partner for Secure and Expert Document Notarization
A Genuine Consul leverages the founder’s 23-year career of high-level expertise as a Foreign Service Officer and national security professional with the U.S. Department of State.
On Day 1 of her first overseas diplomatic posting the founder was handed her first notary stamp which read ‘A. Genuino, Consul’, and the idea for her company was born and lingered in her mind until her retirement from the U.S. Foreign Service decades later.
She handled hundreds of notarial requests throughout her career for U.S. citizens, expatriates, diplomats and foreign nationals, dealing with everything from legal forms to financial paperwork to immigration documents.
There is no room for guesswork. Every signature, seal, and process has to be exact, consistent, and fully compliant with U.S. standards.
Today, she brings that same level of care into private notarial work. Whether your documents are headed overseas, facilitate your child’s travel permission without you, as part of the U.S. immigration application process, or tied to a real estate transaction, you’ll get dependable support from someone who’s spent decades working with sensitive paperwork in tense situations.
Here’s what sets A Genuine Consul apart:
Consular manager-level experience
International expertise
Security and trust
Mobile service to clients
Community service
At A Genuine Consul, you get notarial services performed with the precision, integrity, and professionalism of a retired U.S. Consul.
