An apostille is an official certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document. It's required under the Hague Convention for documents to be legally recognized in foreign countries.

You need an apostille when using documents internationally for purposes such as marriage, adoption, business registration, immigration, education enrollment, or legal proceedings in any of the 120+ Hague Convention countries.

The main is determined by your destination country:

• Apostille: Used for documents going to Hague Convention countries (120+ countries including most of Europe, Asia, and Latin America). It's a single certificate attached to your document.

• Authentication: Required for non-Hague countries like China, UAE, and some Middle Eastern nations. This involves a multi-step process including state authentication and embassy legalization.

We handle both processes and will determine which your documents need based on your destination country.

We can process a wide variety of documents including:

• Birth, death, marriage, and divorce certificates

• Educational documents (diplomas, transcripts)

• Court documents and judgments

• Power of attorney documents

• Corporate documents and articles of incorporation

• Notarized documents and affidavits
