What Is an Apostille and Why Might You Need One?

If you’re planning to use a U.S. document in another country, you may need an apostille. An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document for international use under the Hague Convention.

Common documents that require apostille services include:

• Birth Certificates

• Marriage Certificates

• Divorce Decrees

• FBI Background Checks

• Power of Attorney

• Diplomas & Transcripts

• Notarized Documents

If the destination country is part of the Hague Convention, an apostille is required. If it is not, your documents may require authentication and embassy legalization instead.

The apostille process can be confusing, especially when determining whether your document needs state-level or federal apostille processing. Errors can cause delays and document rejection.

Our professional apostille services simplify the process. We guide you step-by-step to ensure your documents are properly prepared and submitted for international acceptance.
