What’s an apostille?
Apostille certificates authenticate the signature of a public official on a document for use in another country.
Tell us the destination country—we’ll confirm the correct path.
Apostille vs authentication (Hague vs non-Hague)
Hague countries → apostille
Non-Hague → authentication/legalization (we guide you)
An apostille is used when your document is going to a country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention.
If your destination country is not in the Hague Convention, your document may require authentication / legalization instead.
Not sure which one you need? Text us the destination country and a photo of your document — we’ll confirm the correct path before we process anything.
