What is an Apostille and Why Do You Need One?
An apostille is a form of authentication recognized internationally under the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This certification verifies the authenticity of public documents such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, diplomas, powers of attorney, and more. If you need to use a U.S. document in a foreign country that is part of the Hague Convention, an apostille is required to confirm its validity. Learn more about the Hague Apostille Convention.
For countries not part of the Hague Convention, documents must go through an embassy or consular legalization process, which involves additional verification steps. Our experts at Orange County Apostille handle both apostille and embassy legalization services to ensure your documents meet all necessary requirements. Check the list of Hague Convention countries.
The Role of a Notary Public in Apostille Services
A notary public plays a crucial role in verifying the authenticity of signatures on legal documents before they can be apostilled. Some documents, like affidavits, power of attorney forms, and business contracts, require notarization before they can proceed to the apostille stage. Learn about notary public responsibilities.
Our certified notary publics are available 24/7 to assist with document notarization, ensuring accuracy and compliance with state and federal regulations. We offer mobile notary services, meaning we can come to your location for added convenience. Find out more about mobile notary services.
