What is an Apostille Certificate?
Apostille certificates authenticate the seals and signatures of officials on public documents such as birth certificates, court orders, private documents (such as affidavits), or any other document issued by a federal agency or certified by a U.S. or foreign consul.
An apostille certifies the document(s), so the document can be recognized in foreign countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Treaty.

Documents that will be used in a country NOT affiliated with the 1961 Hague Convention can be Apostilled, but will need to be further authenticated by the U.S. Department of state.
Such documents will be routed to the U.S department of State in Washington D.C. to obtain their Authentication certificates.
