Why do I need an apostille?
If you need to travel abroad to carry out an important procedure, you must remember that each country has its own laws and requirements to validate certain documents. The documents that make you legal in the United States may not be valid in other countries.
For this reason, starting on October 5, 1961, the Hague Convention established the apostille system, seeking to simplify and standardize the process of document validation to facilitate international trade and people’s mobility.
In this way, by having an apostille, you can have a certification that will verify the authenticity of your personal documents, so that you can use them freely in any member country of the Hague Convention.
Where do I get an apostille for my US documents?
In the United States, the apostille is issued by the Secretary of State of the state where the document originated. Each state in the country has a Secretary of State’s office, where you can obtain all the necessary information to obtain your apostille and be able to use your documents with international validity.
What do I need to obtain an apostille?
Generally, to apostille a US document you need to meet certain requirements, such as the following:
- Original document that you want to apostille, along with a certified copy of it.
- The apostille request, which is usually obtained online through the website of the corresponding Secretary of State’s office.
- Payment of the corresponding fee.
- Valid identification document.
You must bear in mind that the specific requirements to apostille a document may vary depending on the state and the type of document you want to process. For example, some documents may require a notarized signature before being apostilled.
