Apostille Services

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification that validates the authenticity of a public document, such as a birth certificate, marriage license, or notarized document, for use in another country. It is issued by a designated authority in the document's country of origin and confirms that the signature, seal, or stamp on the document is genuine. Pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention, this certification streamlines the process of international document recognition and eliminates the need for further legalization by foreign embassies or consulates. The apostille ensures that your documents are recognized and accepted abroad, making it an essential step for international legal matters, travel, or business transactions.
