What is an Apostille?
NOUN – Origin French (ă pŏs tēēl’)
An apostille is a certificate issued by the state that helps certain documents be recognized for use in another country. Apostilles are commonly needed for documents used internationally—such as vital records, school records, business documents, and notarized statements. Requirements vary based on the destination country and the type of document.
