Apostille Explained

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is a form of official certification that authenticates the origin of a document. It's recognized by over 170 countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention of 1961.

If you have a US document that needs to be used in another country — whether it's a birth certificate, power of attorney, business license, or notarized document — an apostille makes it legally valid in that country's courts and government agencies.

Without an apostille, foreign authorities won't recognize your document as legitimate. With one, it's accepted everywhere in the Convention member countries.

Do I need the original document?

We can work with certified copies or originals. Some countries require original documents. We'll advise on what's needed for your specific country.

Can my document be notarized and apostilled together?

Yes. If your document isn't already notarized, we can notarize it online first, then apply the apostille. One process, one combined fee.

How many times do I need an apostille?

One apostille is typically sufficient. It authenticates the document for use anywhere in Hague Convention countries. Some countries may request additional certified copies.

Can you apostille documents in other languages?

Yes. Apostilles work for documents in any language. The apostille certificate itself is in English, but the original document can be in any language.
