What Is an Apostille and When Do You Need One for International Documents?

You’re not alone if you’ve been asked to get an “apostille” and have no idea what that means. An apostille is an international certification to validate documents like birth certificates, marriage licenses, and power of attorney forms.

You’ll need an apostille if you send U.S. documents to a country participating in the Hague Convention. It’s not the same as notarization—a higher-level form of authentication accepted by foreign governments.

At Texas Tower, we handle apostille requests for all 50 states. We’ll check your documents, process them correctly, and send them where they need to go, without the guesswork.
