An APOSTILLE specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory states or countries can be certified for legal International purposes in all of the other signatory states or countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a certification is called an apostille (French: certification). It is an international certification comparable to a notarization in domestic law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Apostilles are affixed by Competent Authorities designated by the government of a state which is party to the convention. To be eligible for an apostille, a document must first be issued or certified by an officer recognized by the authority that will issue the apostille (PUBLIC NOTARY). Later you can APOSTILLE your documents in the SECRETARY OF STATE of  your country.  Search in GOOGLE  for the nearest SECRETARY OF STATE.  We can apostille your documents, so please contact us for details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
