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.
