Apostille Services
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is an international certification issued by the Secretary of State or US Department of State. Vital Record documents, such as Birth Certificates are not notarized but authenticated by the Secretary of State.
Sometimes you will need to request an apostille for legal, personal, or public documents to travel, such as studying abroad, relocating to a new country, applying for a foreign visa, adopting a child from a different country, work, school, visiting a family member or getting married internationally.
The most common public legal documents are:
- Birth Certificates
- Marriage Licenses
- Divorce decrees
- Death Certificates
- School Diplomas
- Power of Attorney
- Last Will & Testimony
- Articles of Incorporation
- Tax Returns
Passports and driver licenses may be copy certified to be used for opening a bank account in a different country, purchasing foreign property, conducting international business and driving a car or obtaining a foreign driver’s license.
