Apostille Services
What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a specialized certificate issued by a designated authority in a country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. It authenticates the origin of a public document, such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, educational diplomas, or business contracts, so they can be legally recognized in other member countries.
