Frequently Asked Questions

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in foreign countries. It's required by the Hague Convention and eliminates the need for lengthy legalization processes when using documents internationally for business, education, or personal matters.

Documents with an apostille certification are accepted by countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention—an international agreement that simplifies the process of validating public documents for international use.

If the destination country is a member of the convention, your apostilled document will be legally recognized without needing further embassy or consulate legalization. View our complete Hague Convention Apostille List.
