What is an Apostille:
An Apostille is a method of certifying a document for the use in another country pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention. The purpose of the Apostille is the recognition of the certified document in the country of the intended use. The Apostille in effect certifies that the notarization of the document by a notary public or the certification by a state agency is in fact legitimate.
If the country where you intend to use the document is not part of the Hague Convention, the additional step of legalization from their Embassy will be needed. We can also help with this process. Additional fees apply.
Apostilles for Federal Documents are processed through the U.S. Department of State and have a higher fee. A common federal document that is Apostilled is an FBI report or FBI Background check. These documents usually take longer to processing at this time. So be aware of the time frame when ordering.
