An Apostille is a certificate issued by the Secretary of State that proves the authenticity of a public official signature and seal. The Apostille is typically attached to a notarized document as proof of authentication when that document is being sent to a country which abides by the Hague Convention.The Apostille certification is from the office of the Secretary of State, after reviewing the document's signature and validating its legitimacy. It is an official state government certification. It is a full 8 1/2" x 11" page certificate, not simply a seal. The Apostille is permanently attached, and you cannot remove the staples or separate it from your original document.
Apostille History
1961 many nations joined together to create a simplified method of "legalizing" documents for universal recognition. Members of the conference, referred to as the Hague Convention, adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that would be recognized by all member nations. Since October 15, 1981, the United States has been part of the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Only). The Convention provides for the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Documents destined for use in participating countries and their territories should be certified by one of the officials in the jurisdiction in which the document has been executed. Said official must have been designated as competent to issue certifications by "Apostille" (usually in the office of the State Secretary of State of his/her counterpart) as provided for by the 1961 Hague Convention.
An Apostille (pronounced "ah-po-steel") is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the State Government. The Apostille is attached to your original document, to verify it is legitimate and authentic, and therefore it will be accepted internationally. The Apostille consists of 10 elements. The Convention requires that all Apostille's be numbered consecutively, with individual numbers applied to each Apostille issued. The recognized standard Apostille contains a seal and 10 mandatory references: name of country from which the document emanates, name of person signing the document, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, in the case of unsigned documents, the name of the authority that has affixed the seal or stamp, place of certification date of certification, the authority issuing the certificate, number of certificate, seal or stamp of authority issuing certificate and signature of authority issuing certificate.An Apostille (pronounced "ah-po-steel") is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the State Government.
