What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of the signature, seal, or authority appearing on a public or notarized document.
Apostilles are generally used when documents issued in the United States must be presented in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents being used in countries outside the Convention may require authentication and additional embassy or consulate legalization instead.
Florida Notary & Apostille will help determine the appropriate process based on:
-
The type of document
-
The state or federal agency that issued it
-
The country where it will be presented
-
Whether notarization, certification, translation, authentication, or embassy legalization is required
