Apostille

A notary can assist with preparing documents for apostille, which is a specialized authentication certificate recognized internationally among countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. While notaries cannot issue apostilles themselves, they play a crucial role by verifying document authenticity, certifying signatures, and ensuring documents are properly prepared before being sent to the appropriate state authority for the actual apostille certificate. Common documents that may need apostille services include birth certificates, academic diplomas, corporate documents, and marriage certificates.
