What Is an Apostille and Why It Matters

An apostille is an official certification added to documents to verify the authenticity of the signature, seal, or position of the person who signed it. This process is required for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Apostillea.com helps ensure that your Tennessee documents meet these international standards.

What Documents Can Be Apostilled in Tennessee?

Documents issued in Tennessee that are commonly apostilled include:

Vital records: birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates issued by the Tennessee Office of Vital Records
Notarized documents: powers of attorney, affidavits, consent letters
Academic records: diplomas, transcripts, and enrollment verifications signed by a school official and notarized
Criminal background checks: reports issued by the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI)
Business and corporate documents: certificates of incorporation, good standing, or formation filed with the Secretary of State

Apostille vs. Certificate of Authentication

While an apostille is used for documents being sent to countries that are part of the Hague Convention, a Certificate of Authentication is required for countries that are not. Apostillea.com helps you determine the correct type of certification based on your destination country and manages the process accordingly.
