What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. The apostille ensures that documents such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, court orders, and FBI background checks are legally recognized abroad.
If your document is destined for a country like Spain, Mexico, Italy, France, Germany, or Israel, it will likely need an apostille.
Why You May Also Need a Certified Translation
If your apostilled document is in English and you’re submitting it to a non-English-speaking country, that country’s institutions may require a certified translation in their official language (like Spanish, Italian, Hebrew, etc.). We work with professional translators recognized by the American Translators Association to ensure your documents are compliant.
Common scenarios that require apostille + translation:
- Visa or immigration applications
- Dual citizenship requests
- Marriage abroad
- Legal representation overseas
- Study abroad admissions
