What Do You Need Apostilled?
Document Categories We Apostille
Vital, non-vital, and federal documents—handled with speed and precision.
Apostille of Vital Records
An Apostille of Vital Records is an internationally recognized certification that verifies the authenticity of vital documents—such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates—for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This process is essential when these vital records must be submitted abroad, as it confirms that the documents have been properly issued and certified by a recognized government authority, such as the California Secretary of State, and are therefore exempt from further embassy or consulate legalization.
Individuals emigrating to or from a country may need to provide Apostilled vital documents to comply with immigration rules or to obtain residency or citizenship.
Couples planning to marry in a foreign country often require an Apostilled birth certificate or single status affidavit to comply with local laws, proving eligibility to marry.
International adoption procedures typically require the prospective parents to submit Apostilled vital records to complete legal formalities in the child’s country of origin.
Handling the estate of a deceased person who was a foreign national often requires an Apostille on death certificates to facilitate transnational legal issues, including inheritance and repatriation of remains.
Individuals studying or working abroad may need to provide Apostilled birth certificates or marriage certificates as part of proving their identity or marital status in the foreign country.
Apostille of Non-Vital Records
An Apostille for Non-Vital Records is a critical component in the international validation of public documents that are not classified as vital records. These include a wide array of personal, corporate, academic, and legal records—often required for education, business transactions, legal representation, or immigration abroad.
Diplomas, transcripts, and other educational records often need to be apostilled when applying to study or work abroad, helping foreign institutions verify legitimacy.
For international business activity, apostilled corporate documents help confirm a company’s legal standing and support cross-border transactions.
Court documents and notarized legal statements may require an apostille to be recognized in foreign legal systems.
Federal Apostille
A federal apostille authenticates certain documents for use in Hague Convention countries. The U.S. Department of State provides this service through the Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C.
