Getting an Apostille for Your Travel Documents

If you’re planning to work, study, or live abroad, you’ll likely need an apostille for certain documents. Having an apostille verifies the authenticity of official documents, making them valid for use in other countries. For instance, if you’re applying for a job overseas, many countries will require an apostille on your birth certificate, diploma, or other essential documents to prove they are legitimate.

Obtaining an apostille can feel overwhelming, especially since different countries have specific requirements. For example, the Hague Apostille Convention regulates which documents need this certification and under what circumstances. Many European and South American countries and others will require this step before recognizing your documents.
