Understanding Your International Documents

What Is an Apostille?

Why Choose SWFL Signatures?

Why Choose SWFL Signatures?

Global the Hague Convention

 

An Apostille is a certificate used to authenticate the origin of a public document for use in a country that participates in the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention.


An Apostille verifies the authenticity of the signature, seal, or stamp of the public official who signed or issued the document. It does not certify the contents of the document itself.


For countries that participate in the Hague Apostille Convention, the Apostille generally replaces the traditional legalization process. The receiving country, agency, court, school, employer, or other authority may have additional requirements for the underlying document.
