Understanding Apostille Certification
What is an "Apostille"?
An Apostille is a unique stamp issued by the Secretary of State or Court in the document's originating State to validate its authenticity for international use. This essential certification ensures that documents are recognized and accepted by foreign countries as legitimate and credible outside of the United States.
