What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate issued by a government authority that authenticates a public document for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
In California, apostilles are issued by the California Secretary of State.
For federal documents such as:
- FBI Background Checks
- Certificates of Naturalization
- FDA documents
- IRS letters
- Federal court records
the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State.
Countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention accept apostilles instead of embassy legalization.
