Why Apostille Your Document?

An apostille is a type of certification that confirms the authenticity of a public document, such as a birth certificate or school transcript. It is recognized by countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, eliminating the need for further legalization by embassies or consulates.

If you’re presenting your American Samoa–issued documents to a foreign government, school, or employer in a participating country, obtaining an apostille is a necessary step to ensure acceptance abroad.

What Documents Can Be Apostilled in Samoa?

Many types of documents originating in American Samoa can be apostilled, including:

  • Vital records, such as birth, death, and marriage certificates
  • Academic diplomas and transcripts from local schools or educational institutions
  • Notarized documents, such as power of attorney or sworn affidavits
  • Business documents, including articles of incorporation or certificates of good standing
  • Criminal background checks issued by local law enforcement

Our team at Apostillea helps ensure your documents meet the official criteria for apostille by the U.S. Department of State or the appropriate government entity.

Apostille vs. Certificate of Authentication

The apostille process applies when your destination country is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. If your documents are intended for use in a non-member country, they must go through a different process: authentication followed by consular legalization.

We help you determine the correct route for your documents—apostille or authentication—based on the country where you intend to use them.
