What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public official's signature on a document for use in another country. 

An Apostille certifies:

• the authenticity of the signature of the public official who signed the document,

• the capacity in which that public official acted, and

• when appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears, e.g. a notary public seal.

Disclaimer: The Apostille does not validate the contents of the document.
