Apostille by Country

125+ Countries

Apostille by Destination Country

The Hague Apostille Convention simplifies authentication between 125+ member countries, but each destination may still have its own translation, recency, and legalization requirements. For non-Hague countries, full embassy authentication is required instead of an apostille.

ℹ

Your destination country is required at submission. Apostilles are only for international use — not domestic U.S. purposes. If your country is not a Hague member, an authentication certificate with embassy legalization is required. We confirm the correct certificate type during our free document review.
