What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.
The apostille confirms that the signature, seal, or stamp on your document is genuine so it can be legally recognized overseas without additional authentication.
If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, your documents typically require a Certificate of Authentication followed by embassy or consulate legalization.
Our specialists help determine the correct process based on your destination country.
