When you need to use a U.S. document abroad, it often requires official validation. An apostille is a type of authentication that certifies the legitimacy of a document for use in another country that is a member of the Hague Convention of 1961. This one-step legalization replaces traditional embassy or consulate verification, streamlining international acceptance of your records.
In Virginia, a wide variety of documents may be eligible for apostille, depending on their purpose and destination. Examples include:
Documents must often be signed by the appropriate official or notarized before they can be apostilled.
Not all international document certifications are the same. An apostille is specifically for countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. If your destination country is not a member, you may need a Certificate of Authentication instead, often followed by embassy legalization. Apostilles are typically faster and more streamlined, but knowing the difference ensures your documents will be accepted abroad without delays.
