What is An Apostille?
An apostille is the official certification of authentication that allows your U.S. documents to be recognized in another country. It confirms that the signature, seal, or authority on the document is legitimate—so foreign governments, universities, and institutions know they can trust it.
It doesn’t change the document itself. It simply verifies the authority behind it, giving your paperwork the international credibility it needs.
An apostille is authenticates the origin of a public document (such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, visas (from visa to PR) or diplomas) for legal recognition in foreign countries, under the 1961 Hague Convention.
Required for documents going to countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
It ensures that public documents issued in one country are recognized as valid in another member country.
