What is Apostille?
An apostille is an internationally recognized certification that authenticates the origin of a public document, such as a notarized affidavit, a birth certificate, or a school transcript. It's essential for legal documents being used in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Hague Countries
An apostille is a certification that authenticates the origin of a public document for use in another country. This process is streamlined among countries that are members of the Hague Conference on Private International Law (HCCH). As of 2024, the HCCH comprises 91 members, including 90 states and one Regional Economic Integration Organisation. If your document is intended for use in a Hague member country, the apostille process is straightforward, requiring only a single certification without further embassy legalization. Apostille certification for Hague Convention countries is typically faster, as it does not require additional embassy or consular authentication. Please allow for about 1-2 weeks for standard processing time. For expedited courier services, please allow for 2 days plus two-way shipping.

Non-Hague
Non-Hague countries require a more complex legalization process since they do not accept apostilles. Instead, documents must go through a series of authentications, including consular legalization.
​
How Does the Process Differ?
Additional Verification Required – Documents must pass through multiple government offices before being legalized. Embassy or Consular Legalization Needed – After authentication at the state and federal level, documents must be sent to the destination country’s embassy or consulate for final approval. Longer Processing Times – Due to the multiple steps involved, the legalization process can take several weeks or even months, depending on the country’s requirements.
How It Works
(Processing times will vary dependent on SoS processing times and if the country you are working with is a member of Hague)
