What is an Apostille?
An apostille is a form of authentication for documents issued in one country so they can be legally recognized in another, provided both countries are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
It’s commonly required for:
- Birth, marriage, and death certificates
- FBI background checks
- Educational records
- Business documents
- Power of attorney forms
Why Translation Services Matter
Many countries require documents to be presented in the official language of the country. That means even if you’ve apostilled your document, it may be rejected if it’s not translated by a certified translator.
Orange County Apostille provides certified translations accepted by:
- Immigration authorities
- Courts
- Universities
- Foreign consulates and embassies
All translations are performed by professionals who are members of the American Translators Association.
