An apostille is a certification issued by a government authority that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another country. It verifies that the signature, seal, or stamp on a document is legitimate, allowing the document to be recognized in any country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Common documents that may require an apostille include birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational diplomas, powers of attorney, legal agreements, and other official records. For individuals or businesses needing to submit documents internationally, obtaining an apostille is essential to ensure the document's legal validity abroad. Without an apostille, your document may not be accepted or recognized in foreign jurisdictions, which can delay or complicate international transactions, immigration processes, or legal matters.
