Apostille Documents for International Adoption

If you are considering adopting a child from another country, congratulations! You have a long road ahead of you – but it’s absolutely worth it. International adoption involves adopting a child from another country. This legal process requires proper procedures and heaps of documents, most of which require an apostille. One very important step we can help with is to apostille documents for international adoption.

Some Documents Required for International Adoption

While you must provide numerous documents, some will also need an apostille. An apostille is attached to the document that validates the authenticity of the seals and signatures of the document. All countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961 recognize the apostille as a form of authenticity. All non-member countries require embassy legalization.

Some common documents needed for international adoption are:

• Bank statements or tax records
• Marriage license
• Divorce certificate
• Birth certificate
• Copy of passport
• Power of Attorney
• FBI background check

This list does not include all required documents. These are some common documents required that we can quickly obtain the apostille for.
