Apostille for International Documents
An “apostille” is a form of document authentication issued by a competent authority in a participating country to verify the authenticity of a public document for use in another participating country. It is governed by the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. The primary goal of an apostille is to eliminate the need for additional layers of authentication, such as diplomatic legalization, streamlining the process for international documents.
There are 127 (and counting) signatory countries of the Hague Apostille Convention. For these countries, the legalization at the Embassy/Consulate will not be required, thereby avoiding the need for additional processing times and supporting document requirements.
Documents destined for non-apostille signatory countries will need to go through the document authentication and legalization process.
