An Apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority in a country where the Hague Apostille Convention is in force. It is an authentication of a public document issued pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The Convention provides for the simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Under the Hague Convention, signatory countries have agreed to recognize public documents issued by other signatory countries if those public documents are authenticated by the attachment of an internationally recognized form of authentication known as an Apostille. The Apostille ensures that public documents issued in one signatory country will be recognized as valid in another signatory country.
A Certificate of Authentication is issued by your Secretary of State to authenticate public documents for use in any country which is not a member of the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. This process, commonly referred to as Document Legalization, is the process of authenticating or certifying a legal document so a foreign country's legal system will recognize it as with full legal effect.
Certificates of Authentication may also require an additional certification from the United States Department of State prior to submission to the foreign country.
