What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certificate issued by the California Secretary of State (or the U.S. Department of State for federal documents). It authenticates the origin of a public document so that it will be recognized in any country that is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961.

You need an apostille if you’re sending any U.S. documents to a foreign country for legal, business, or personal purposes—especially if the country you’re dealing with is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
