Apostille a Driver’s License

If you are planning on driving while you are in another country, you will most certainly need to bring your driver’s license. And in some countries, you may need an apostille for your license. But don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it may sound. There are several steps to be able to apostille a driver’s license.

Apostille or Embassy Legalization?

Depending on your destination country, you will need an apostille service or embassy legalization for your driver’s license. The Hague Convention of 1961 established the apostille as a uniform way for countries to recognize the authenticity of a document. If you are traveling to a country that does not accept apostilles, your papers must receive embassy legalization.

Check here to find out if your country will accept an apostille or require embassy legalization.

Or, an easier way is to let One Source Process obtain authentication for your driver’s license. We can do it for you, whether it’s an apostille or embassy legalization,

Steps to Apostille a Driver’s License

You must take several steps before you can authenticate your driver’s license. These steps are required for an apostille and legalization.

1. Make a color copy of the front and back of your driver’s license
2. Find a notary in the state in which the driver’s license is issued
3. In front of a notary, write the statement: “I certify this is a true copy of my driver’s license.”
4. In front of a notary, sign and print your name
5. Have the copy notarized with the correct notary wording

Once that is done, you must work with the Secretary of State to obtain the apostille. Or you will contact the Embassy for legalization.

Or, as mentioned above, you can let One Source Process do the work for you.
