If you need to use a U.S. document in another country, you will likely need an apostille.

The Certified Society provides professional apostille services in Austin, Texas, helping individuals, families, and businesses authenticate documents for international use quickly and correctly.

 

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certificate that verifies a U.S. public document so it can be legally recognized in another country.

An apostille confirms:

• The authenticity of the signature

• The authority of the person who signed the document

• The validity of the official seal or stamp

It does not verify the contents of the document — only the authenticity of the signature and seal.

 

Do I Need an Apostille?

You may need an apostille if you are:

• Getting married abroad

• Applying for dual citizenship

• Buying or selling property in another country

• Handling an international power of attorney

• Studying overseas

• Submitting documents for immigration

• Conducting international business

If the country receiving your document is part of the
Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is required.

If the country is not part of the Convention, additional legalization steps may be necessary.
