When traveling to another country for anything other than a vacation, you will often need to provide the necessary documents. And each of those documents must be authenticated.
An apostille or embassy legalization is a process that verifies the authenticity of the stamps and signatures of a document. In fact, the word ‘apostille’ is French for ‘certification.’
The Hague Convention of 1961 determined that all member countries will accept the apostille process, while non-members must follow the embassy legalization process.
Don’t worry if you are unsure which process to follow; we know which countries require which authentication.
The authentication process can be tricky. In fact, acquiring an Illinois apostille can be difficult when done on your own. That is why we are here to help you.
