Apostille History

Apostille is a French word meaning certification. It is commonly used in English to refer to the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents.

Members of the conference adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that would be recognized by all member nations.

Documents sent to member nations, completed with an Apostille at the State of CA level, may be submitted directly to the member nation without further action.

Documents sent to non-member nations requiring a Certification must then be transmitted to the Authentication Office of the Department of State in Washington, D.C.
