Apostille is a French word meaning certification commonly used in English to refer to the legalization of a global use document.
It is a formal government-issued certification added to documents to be recognized when presented in another country. The authority receiving copy should then accept the seals or signatures as authentic and valid without further evidence or proof.
Once a document has the apostille, it has been ‘legalized’ for use in an overseas country that is a Hague convention member.
Most agencies in foreign countries request for the entire document to be translated into their formal language.
One of the most common documents in this aspect is the apostille translation of the birth certificate.
Types of documents to be Apostilled;
- Document registration – when a public document is signed to register anything such as land, property, business, or personal matter.
- The notary acts – any form provided by the notary office of the country.
- Court documents – records such as divorce papers, wills, marriage certificates, power of attorney.
