Whether you're sending paperwork to a Hague Convention country or need embassy authentication for a non-Hague country, we handle every step with care and precision.



What is an Apostille and When Do You Need One?

An apostille is a form of international certification accepted among countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. It verifies the authenticity of a notarized or government-issued document so it can be legally recognized abroad.

You may need an apostille for:

Birth, marriage, or death certificates

FBI background checks

Power of attorney

University diplomas, transcripts, or letters of enrollment

Adoption papers

Corporate records

IRS Form 6166 or Articles of Incorporation


For non-Hague Convention countries, we also offer U.S. State Department certifications and embassy legalizations to ensure full compliance with international document requirements.
