Common Questions About Apostilles
What is an Apostille?
Many countries will not accept documents as authentic unless they are certified. An apostille or embassy legalization certifies the authenticity of documents issued in the U.S. so the documents may be used and accepted as valid by businesses and governments outside the United States.
What types of documents do you process most often?
The most common types of documents needing an apostille are:
- Birth and death certificates
- Marriage licenses
- Divorce decrees
- School transcripts
- Diplomas
- Powers of attorney
