An Apostille is a form of authentication issued for documents to be used in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention (1961). It verifies the authenticity of a document's signature, seal, or stamp, making it legally valid in another member country without further certification.

Key Points About Apostilles:

Purpose:

  • Simplifies the legalization process for international documents.
  • Ensures foreign authorities recognize the document as genuine.

Documents That May Need an Apostille:

  • Birth, marriage, or death certificates
  • Court orders
  • Academic diplomas & transcripts
  • Notarized documents (e.g., affidavits, powers of attorney)
  • Business documents (e.g., articles of incorporation)

How It Works:

  • The document is issued in one country (e.g., a U.S. birth certificate).
  • The competent authority (e.g., Secretary of State in the U.S.) attaches an Apostille certificate.
  • The document is now valid in any other Hague Convention country.

Countries Covered:

  • Over 120 countries are part of the Hague Apostille Convention, including the U.S., U.K., Canada (for some provinces), Australia, India, and most of Europe.
  • Non-member countries may require consular legalization

What an Apostille Looks Like:

  • A stamped or attached certificate with a unique identification number.
  • Includes details like the issuing country, signer’s name, and date.

  • Have your documents ready to review.
