Apostille
Apostille notarization is a specialized process used to authenticate documents for international use. It involves obtaining an apostille—a certificate that confirms the authenticity of the notary public's signature and seal on a document. This process is governed by the Hague Convention, which simplifies the verification of documents among member countries. Commonly required for personal documents, such as birth certificates or marriage licenses, apostille notarization ensures that your paperwork is recognized and accepted abroad, making it crucial for expats, international adoptions, and global business transactions.
