Whether it’s a birth certificate, marriage certificate, or academic transcript, we ensure your documents are properly Apostilled to meet international standards.

An apostille is a certification of a document that verifies its authenticity for use in other countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
An apostille will ensure that your documents will be recognized as legitimate in all participating countries that are party to the Hague Convention.
An Apostille of Vital Records is a certification that verifies the authenticity of vital documents, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates, for use in foreign countries. This certification simplifies the process of international document recognition by confirming that the document has been issued by a competent authority and does not require further authentication. Vital record Apostilles are commonly required for various purposes, including immigration, marriage abroad, and adoption, ensuring legal validity and acceptance of these documents across borders.
An Apostille of Non-Vital Records is a certification that verifies the authenticity of public documents other than vital records, such as educational diplomas, corporate documents, or court judgments, for use in foreign countries. This certification streamlines the process of legalizing documents for international use, eliminating the need for additional authentication by embassy or consular authorities. It ensures that non-vital records are recognized as valid and legally binding in countries that are members of the Hague Convention, simplifying international transactions, legal proceedings, and other cross-border activities.

Document Apostille and Authentication
An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority in a country that is a member of the Hague Convention. It verifies the authenticity of a public document, such as a birth certificate, marriage certificate, or court document, so it can be recognized in another member country without further authentication. The apostille itself is a standardized form consisting of 10 numbered fields, including the country where the document was issued, the name of the person who signed it, the capacity in which they acted, and the seal or stamp affixed to the document.
The primary purpose of an apostille is to simplify the process of verifying the legitimacy of public documents when they are used in a foreign country. It eliminates the need for additional legalization or authentication by consular or embassy authorities, streamlining international document exchanges and promoting legal certainty and transparency.
Apostilles are typically required for various legal and administrative purposes, including:
- Immigration: When individuals move to another country for work, study, or residency, they may need to present apostilled documents, such as birth certificates or diplomas, to prove their identity, qualifications, or marital status.
- Marriage Abroad: When getting married in a foreign country, couples may be required to provide apostilled birth certificates, divorce decrees, or other relevant documents to register their marriage legally.
- Adoption: Adoptive parents seeking to adopt a child from another country often need to provide apostilled documents, such as adoption decrees or home study reports, to demonstrate their eligibility and suitability as adoptive parents.
- Business Transactions: Companies engaging in international business transactions may need to provide apostilled documents, such as articles of incorporation, certificates of good standing, or powers of attorney, to establish their legal status and authority.
- Legal Proceedings: Parties involved in international legal proceedings, such as lawsuits or arbitration cases, may need to present apostilled documents, such as court judgments or affidavits, as evidence or to enforce judgments across borders.
The types of documents that can be apostilled vary depending on the country and its specific requirements. However, common documents that are often apostilled include:
- Birth certificates
- Marriage certificates
- Divorce decrees
- Adoption decrees
- Death certificates
- Court judgments
- Powers of attorney
- Notarized documents
- Academic diplomas and transcripts
- Corporate documents
Overall, an apostille serves as a crucial mechanism for facilitating international document exchanges, ensuring the authenticity and validity of public documents across borders, and promoting legal certainty and efficiency in cross-border transactions and legal proceedings.
