What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority, such as the Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State, that authenticates the origin of a public document. This process verifies that the document is legitimate and can be legally recognized in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961.
Once a document receives an apostille, it is valid for use in over 120 countries without the need for additional certifications. For countries not part of the Hague Convention, you may require additional steps such as document authentication and embassy legalization.
