What is an Apostille, and Why Do You Need One?
Definition
An apostille is essentially an international stamp of authentication. It verifies that a document is genuine and can be used in countries that are members of the Hague Convention.
Purpose
When you need to use documents (like birth certificates, diplomas, or business papers) in another country, that country may require them to be apostilled to confirm their authenticity.
Examples
If you're planning to work, study, get married, or conduct business overseas, you'll likely need an apostille for certain documents.
