What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a certificate attached to a document to ensure its acceptance overseas. It is used for documents issued in one country that is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961 and intended for use in another member country.
Apostilles are only valid for international public documents and not within the United States. An apostille certifies the document’s authenticity but does not verify its content.
