A Comprehensive Guide to Certified Birth Certificate Apostille
An apostille is an official authentication certificate that confirms a U.S. public document is legally valid for use in another country. It's issued under the Hague Apostille Convention, an international treaty that simplifies document recognition between member countries. In the United States, apostilles are issued by state authorities (for state-issued documents) or the U.S. Department of State (for federal documents).
