What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the signature of a public official on a document for use in another country. This certification is essential when presenting documents abroad, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, or legal contracts. The apostille confirms:

  • The authenticity of the signature on the document.
  • The capacity in which the person signing the document acted.
  • The identity of any stamp or seal affixed to the document.

This process is governed by the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961, which simplifies the legalization of documents for international use.
