What is an Apostille?
An apostille is a specialized certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another country. It's required for international legal recognition under the Hague Convention, simplifying the process of using documents abroad.
When is an Apostille Required?
Needed when presenting U.S. documents in foreign countries for purposes like marriage, business, education, or legal proceedings.
Apostille vs. Notarization
Notarization verifies a signature's authenticity for domestic use. An apostille is an international certification that validates the notary or official's authority for foreign governments.
Common Use Cases
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates for immigration
- Educational diplomas and transcripts for overseas jobs or studies
- Power of attorney and court documents for international legal matters
- Business documents for opening foreign offices or contracts
