What is an Apostille?

An apostille is a special stamp or paper that makes your document official for use in another country. It tells the other country that your document is real and was signed by the right person.

Not all countries use apostilles. This process only works between countries that are part of the Hague Convention. If the country you are sending your document to is not part of it, you might need a different type of legalization called Notarial Certification.
