Apostille serves as a certificate of international authenticity for documents originating in any of the Hague Convention member countries. You can use your apostilled document for official purposes worldwide, without the need for any additional authentication.

Preparing Your Documents For US Apostille

The Department of State’s office in DC issues apostille on federal U.S. documents. Any document issued by a federal agency is eligible for an apostille if the prerequisites are fulfilled. You can check the US DOS requirements before submitting your documents to them for apostille verification.

For documents originating from any of the 50 U.S. states, you will have to contact the respective Secretary of State. Private documents need a notarization seal on them to prepare them for the apostille process. For example, documents by a business owner, school registrar, or a private individual.

Documents issued by a state office require the relevant officer’s signature and the department’s stamp on them. Only the original documents or their certified copies are accepted. Examples include vital records, court-issued documents, and corporation division records.
