What is an Apostille?

Never heard of the word “Apostille”? Don’t worry! You are not alone! “Apostille” is a French word meaning “certification.” It is an instrument that governments worldwide use to certify that the document is genuine.

In October 1961, The Hague Convention abolished the requirement for legalization of foreign documents. The Convention reduces all the formalities of legalization to a simple delivery of a certificate in a prescribed form, entitled “apostille”, by the authorities of the state where the document originates. This certificate, placed on the document, is signed by a government representative, dated, numbered, and registered.

Apostille Requirements

So, when do you need an apostille, exactly?

You of course need an apostille if you have business in another country. However, there are several other conditions that make an apostille necessary:

The Apostille Convention applies to the country where the document was issued (this is always true for US apostille applicants, since the US is party to the Apostille Convention)
The recipient country is also party to the Apostille Convention
The country that issued the document classifies it as a “public document”
The nation where the document will be used requires an apostille to recognize it as a foreign public document.

Note: that apostilles are not issued for recognition of a document in its country of origin. They are solely for the use of these public documents overseas
