Introduction
If you’re moving, studying, or working abroad, you’ll often be asked to “apostille” your documents.
But what is an apostille — and why is it so important?
An apostille is a government-issued certificate that verifies the authenticity of your U.S. document for use in foreign countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
When You Need an Apostille
Common examples include:
- Applying for jobs or universities abroad.
- Getting married or adopting internationally.
- Submitting business or legal documents overseas.
- Proving personal or criminal record background checks.
