What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the signature of a public official on a document for use in another country. It’s a critical step when you’re submitting documents abroad for legal, educational, or business purposes.
When Do You Need an Apostille?
You’ll typically need an apostille for:
- Birth, death, and marriage certificates being sent abroad
- Academic transcripts and diplomas
- Power of attorney used in another country
- Corporate documents for foreign filings
- Adoption dossiers
- FBI background checks
- Passport copies (notarized)
- Immigration documents
- Medical records for treatment abroad
If the destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, this single certification is all that’s required to ensure your document is valid internationally.

Why You Might Need Notarization First
Many documents must be notarized before an apostille can be issued. A notary public certifies that the signature is real and that the signer appeared in person.
For example:
- A power of attorney must be notarized before it can be apostilled.
- A copy of a passport or driver’s license must be notarized as a certified true copy.
- Business documents often need notarization before state or federal authentication.
At Orange County Apostille, we provide in-house notary services, saving you a step and getting your documents ready faster.
