Apostille FAQs

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Convention.

Common documents requiring apostilles include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, educational documents, and legal documents for international use.

Standard apostille processing takes 5-7 business days. Rush and expedited services are available for urgent needs.
