What is an apostille?
Apostille is an international certification comparable to a notarization and is often added to documents that have been in some manner signed by a Notary, lawyer or other public official such as the clerk of a court of record in their official capacity. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory countries.
Obtaining an Apostille Certification
If you intend to use your documents in another country, you have to make sure they are "authenticated" or "legalized". Some countries have agreed to abide to a unique regulation (the Hague Convention) that facilitates the reciprocal recognition of official documents. If the country where the document will be used is a party to the Hague Convention, your documents will need to have an Apostille Certification that we can obtain for you.
What is a Consular Certification?
States which have not signed the apostille Convention must specify how foreign legal documents can be certified for use. Sometimes two countries will have a special treaty concerning the recognition of each other’s documents, but usually not. When the country issuing or receiving the document does not recognize an apostille, you must usually take the document to the consulate of the foreign country you need to certify it and this process is known as “consular certification”.
