What is an Apostille and When Do You Need One? A Quick Guide

Need to use a document internationally? You might need an apostille – but don't worry, we'll make it simple.

An apostille is a special certificate that makes your documents legal for use in foreign countries. Think of it as your document's international passport. Without it, your important papers like birth certificates, diplomas, or business documents might not be accepted abroad.

Common documents that need apostilles:

- Birth and marriage certificates

- Academic diplomas and transcripts

- Power of attorney forms

- Corporate documents

- Background checks

Here's the catch – not every country accepts apostilles. Only nations that signed the Hague Convention (over 120 countries) recognize them. For other countries, you'll need different authentication methods.

Want to avoid delays and rejections? Having your documents apostilled by a certified professional ensures they'll be accepted the first time. Our experts can review your documents, verify if you need an apostille, and handle the entire process for you.
