An Apostille is a form of attestation that certifies the authenticity of a document in a specific format that is recognized and accepted in all nations that are members of the Hague Convention. It is an international standard that is recognized in approximately 92 countries, including most of the western world.
An Apostille serves as proof that the document is genuine, and it eliminates the need for further legalization or certification. It is commonly required for documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, educational certificates, and other legal documents for use in foreign countries. Attestation by Apostille provides a standardized method of document legalization, which simplifies the process for individuals and businesses seeking to use their documents abroad.
