About us

Our Story

Global Felicity Group is a full-service agency helping individuals and professionals get their U.S. documents legally recognized abroad. We specialize in apostille facilitation, certified translations, and document retrieval, offering clarity and hands-on guidance through the maze of international red tape.

Global Felicity Group was born out of lived experience. As expats ourselves, we ran headfirst into the frustrating, disorganized world of international paperwork — apostilles, translations, notarizations — with little support and even less transparency.

We created GFG to be the kind of service we wish we had: one that’s clear, honest, and fully guided from start to finish. No guesswork. No faceless form mills. Just real people helping you move your life forward.

With backgrounds in education, service, and international operations, we’re committed to delivering the most professional, human-first experience possible — so that you can focus on your goals, not the paperwork.

Also an expat, Anthony understands how confusing international paperwork can be — and is committed to making the process faster, simpler, and more human for clients around the world.
