WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE?

Official authentication for documents used abroad.

An apostille is an official certificate issued by a designated authority, such as the Secretary of State and the U.S. Department of State, that verifies the authenticity of a public document. Apostilles allow your documents to be legally recognized in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Hague Convention

100+ countries recognize apostilles under the 1961 Hague Convention. For non-Hague countries, we provide embassy legalization services.
