How to Apostille a Document for Use in West Virginia

Apostille Services in West Virginia

Apostillea helps individuals and businesses in West Virginia authenticate their documents for international use. Whether you’re planning to study abroad, get married in another country, or conduct global business, we make the apostille process simple, fast, and accurate.

Why Apostille Your Document?

An apostille certifies the authenticity of a document issued in West Virginia, making it legally valid in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention. Without an apostille, your document might be rejected by foreign authorities.

What Documents Can Be Apostilled in West Virginia?

Common documents that qualify for apostille include:

  • Birth and death certificates issued in West Virginia
  • Marriage and divorce records
  • Academic transcripts and diplomas from West Virginia schools
  • Notarized powers of attorney
  • Adoption papers, background checks, and corporate documents

We help ensure your documents meet all requirements before submission.

Apostille vs. Certificate of Authentication

An apostille is used for countries that are members of the Hague Convention. A certificate of authentication is required for countries that are not part of the Convention and often involves additional steps through the U.S. Department of State or a foreign embassy. Apostillea helps you determine which is needed.
