Obtaining an Apostille or Embassy Legalization Doesn’t Have to be a Hassle

Sometimes, the bureaucratic hassle of obtaining an apostille or embassy legalization can feel overwhelming. The unknown governmental red tape can leave anyone with a headache. Many questions need to be answered before you can even begin the apostille process, and we can help.

What is an Apostille or Embassy Legalization?

First, let’s look at what is an apostille or embassy legalization. The word apostille is French for ‘certification.’ Therefore, the apostille is a certification of the authenticity of a document. If you are traveling to another country and require validated documents, you will need an apostille or embassy legalization services.

All countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961 recognize the apostille as a universally accepted form of authentication. Here is a list of countries that accept the apostille.

Countries that are not members of the Hague Convention of 1961 do not accept the apostille to validate paperwork, and all documents must obtain embassy legalization.

Other Questions That You Need Answers

Your first question may be: When do I need documents authenticated? There are many instances you will need to have your paperwork validated.

• Perhaps you are studying in another country and need to apostille your school transcripts.
• Or if you’re getting married outside of the US, you will need to apostille your birth certificate, or divorce certificate if this is not your first marriage.
• If you are hired by a country overseas, you will need to apostille your passport, driver’s license, and other business documents.

These are only 3 examples. There are many more reasons to acquire an apostille or embassy legalization for your paperwork.

Now that you know you must authenticate your documents, you must answer 2 more questions:

1. Do you need an apostille or embassy legalization?
