“Apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority in a country where the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement for Legalization of Foreign Public Documents, Apostille Convention, is in force.”
What is an Apostille?
Never heard of the word “Apostille”? Don’t worry! You are not alone! “Apostille” is a French word meaning “certification.” It is an instrument that governments worldwide use to certify that the document is genuine.
In October 1961, the Hague Convention abolished the requirement for legalization of foreign documents. The Convention reduces all of the formalities of legalization to a simple delivery of a certificate in a prescribed form, entitled "apostille", by the authorities of the state where the document originates. This certificate, placed on the document, is signed by a government representative, dated, numbered, and registered.
Do you need to obtain an Apostille Certificate?
If you have a document that needs to be used abroad, then yes! An Apostille Certificate legalizes a document for international use.
