What an Apostille Does

An apostille certifies the authenticity of a document so it can be used in another country. It confirms the signature, seal, or authority of the official who issued or notarized the document.

  • Required for documents going to countries in the Hague Convention

  • Used for personal, business, academic, and legal documents

  • Issued by state or federal authorities depending on the document type

Why You Would Need an Apostille

An apostille is required when you need to use a U.S. document in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille proves the document is authentic so foreign authorities will accept it without additional verification.

People typically need an apostille when they are:
 

  • Moving or working abroad — visas, employment documents, background checks, marriage certificates.

  • Studying overseas — diplomas, transcripts, enrollment records.

  • Handling international family matters — adoption, marriage, divorce, custody, birth certificates.

  • Doing business internationally — corporate documents, powers of attorney, contracts, certificates of good standing.

  • Managing legal or financial matters abroad — court orders, IRS forms, notarized statements.
