Can You Apostille Your US Documents While Out of the Country? Yes, You Can!
Obtaining an apostille or embassy legalization on your own can be difficult. But the task gets more challenging when you are outside of the United States. But thankfully, One Source Process’ apostille services are able to assist you while out of the country.
Apostille or Embassy Legalization
An apostille and embassy legalization confirm the authentication of a document to be used in another country. Countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961 accept the apostille as a form of authentication. And non-member countries require embassy legalization to prove the trueness of your document.
There are many reasons the foreign country may ask you for authenticated documents; perhaps you are getting married in another country, starting a new job, purchasing land, or there for work. But whatever the reason, you will need to apostille your US documents.
Where to Begin
The documents needed with either be:
- State issued documents
- Federally-issued documents
You will acquire all state documents from the state of origin and federal documents from the federal government.
Examples of state-issued documents:
- Birth or death certificate
- Marriage license
- Driver’s license
- School records
- Business certificate of incorporation
Examples of federally-issued documents:
- US passport
- FBI background check
- Social security letter or card
- Certificate of naturalization
Once you have the necessary document, you can obtain the apostille (or embassy legalization).
