An apostille is a certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public official’s signature and seal on a document for use in countries that are part of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention (over 120 countries).
If your destination country is not part of the Convention, you’ll need embassy or consulate legalization instead.
Most documents — especially vital records and transcripts — must be originals. Some states accept notarized copies, depending on the document type. We’ll confirm what's needed during your free document review.
