Understanding Apostilles

When a notarized document is sent to another country, it often needs supplemental documentation to go along with it. Apostilles and authentication certificates are both papers used to validate the notary's seal and signature on a document so that a foreign country will accept it. Although apostilles and authentication certificates serve the same purpose as each other, they differ in appearance and places of use.

Hague vs. Non Hague

Many countries, including the United States, are part of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. In these countries, an apostille is the only document required to authenticate a foreign notarization. The Hague Apostille Convention was a treaty that streamlined the process of authenticating foreign documents. Apostilles are convenient since they require no further consular or diplomatic legalization.
