Why do documents
need to be apostilled?


An apostille certifies a document so the document can be recognized and accepted in other foreign countries that are also members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. Think of it as mutual reciprocity between countries.

For non-Hague member countries (ex: Canada, UAE), you will receive an authentication certificate, not an apostille certificate, from the state or at the federal level.
