An Apostille is a certificate of authentication issued by an authorized government official that verifies the authenticity of a public document, such as a birth certificate, divorce decree, marriage license, death certificate, certified copy, criminal background check, or notarized document, for international use.
The Apostille certifies the legitimacy of the signature of the issuing official or notary public.
Once processed, the Apostille is attached to your documents and should not be removed, as doing so will invalidate the certification and require you to resubmit your documents.
The Apostille is accepted by countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention. A list of countries that require Apostille certification can be found below:
