Apostille Service in Pflugerville, Texas
Apostille Request Form
Pflugerville takes its name from Henry Pfluger Sr., a German immigrant who settled the area in 1849. More than a century and a half later, the city still has strong international ties, now through warehouses, distribution centers and families who move between Texas and other countries for work.
If a foreign government, school or employer has asked you for apostilled Texas documents, Apostille Authentications can prepare and file the request with the Texas Secretary of State on your behalf. We serve Pflugerville by mail and courier and do not have a local office. The sections below explain a quirk in how Travis County birth records are kept, where to find court records, and how our apostille service in Pflugerville, Texas works.
Why Pflugerville Birth Records Can Be Confusing
Pflugerville lies mainly in Travis County, with a small portion in Williamson County. In Travis County, the office that holds a birth or death record depends on when and where the event happened.
- The Travis County Clerk’s Recording Division issues birth and death records for events in Travis County from 1903 to 1956. Requests go by mail to P.O. Box 149325, Austin, TX 78714. Phone 512-854-9188.
- For events inside Austin city limits, the county refers people to the City of Austin’s Office of Vital Records.
- For events outside Austin but inside Travis County, the county directs people to the Justice of the Peace court for the area where the event took place.
- For events in the Williamson County part of town, the Williamson County Clerk in Georgetown (512-943-1515) issues certificates.
Because of that patchwork, we usually suggest a simpler route: order from Texas Vital Statistics (DSHS), which issues certificates for births and deaths anywhere in Texas. When the application asks for a reason, choose Apostille. The resulting certificate carries a signature the Secretary of State can authenticate.
Marriage records follow a simpler rule. If your license was issued in Travis County, the Travis County Clerk keeps the record; its Airport Boulevard location at 5501 Airport Blvd. in Austin handles recording services, including marriage licenses.
Divorce Decrees and Court Orders From Travis County
Most Pflugerville divorces, custody orders and name changes are handled by Travis County district courts. Certified copies come from the Travis County District Clerk:
| Detail | Travis County District Clerk |
|---|---|
| In person | Civil Family Court Facility, 1700 Guadalupe Street, 3rd Floor, Austin, TX 78701 |
| By mail | P.O. Box 679003, Austin, TX 78767-9003 |
| Phone | 512-854-9457 |
| Hours | Monday to Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. |
| How to request | Records Request Form on the District Clerk’s website |
If your case was heard in Williamson County instead, contact the Williamson County District Clerk in Georgetown at 512-943-1212.
Request a certified copy, not a plain copy. Certified court documents are signed by the clerk, and that signature is what the Secretary of State verifies before issuing the apostille.
Logistics, Distribution and Trade Documents
Pflugerville has developed into a distribution hub. The city’s economic development corporation highlights logistics operators such as FedEx, UPS and J.B. Hunt in the area, and its materials point to Foreign Trade Zone 183 as a resource for local businesses. An Amazon distribution center and tenants of the 130 Commerce Center add to the mix.
Companies and employees in this sector often need:
- Notarized commercial documents, such as certificates of origin or supplier declarations, when a foreign customs authority or buyer requests authentication
- Texas business entity records to register with foreign trade partners or authorities
- Powers of attorney for customs brokers or agents abroad
- Personal documents for managers transferring to international facilities
If a document is headed to a country outside the Hague Apostille Convention, for example the UAE, Qatar or Kuwait, it must go through embassy legalization rather than an apostille. We can tell you which path applies once we know the destination.
Ask your foreign customer or agent exactly which documents they need authenticated and in what form. Some want an original certificate with the apostille attached, while others accept a notarized copy. Getting that answer before you sign anything avoids repeating the notarization and paying a second set of fees.
Pflugerville ISD and College Records
Pflugerville ISD serves most of the city, with small areas zoned to Round Rock ISD and Manor ISD. Graduates who apply to universities abroad, and families enrolling children in schools overseas, often need diplomas or transcripts apostilled.
The same rule applies to college records from Austin Community College, the University of Texas at Austin, or any other Texas institution:
- Ask the registrar for a certified copy or a letter verifying your degree.
- Have the registrar sign it before a Texas notary.
- Send the notarized original to us without removing staples or attachments.
Families relocating abroad with younger children may also be asked for report cards, immunization records or enrollment letters. These are private documents, so a school official or healthcare provider needs to sign them before a notary before the state will apostille them. Check with the receiving school first; some accept plain copies, while others insist on an apostille.

Pflugerville FAQ
I was born in Pflugerville in the 1990s. Can the Travis County Clerk issue my birth certificate?
The Travis County Clerk’s Recording Division issues birth records for 1903 to 1956. For a later birth, order from Texas Vital Statistics, or ask the Justice of the Peace court that serves the area, and list Apostille as the purpose.
