  2. Understand What an Apostille Is An apostille is an official certificate issued by a designated authority that authenticates the signature, seal, and capacity of a notary public or official on a public document for international use in Hague Convention countries. www.wcss.com

  3. Identify Eligible Notarized Documents Only certain notarized documents can be apostilled, including powers of attorney, affidavits, diplomas, corporate documents, and certified copies of vital records. Ensure the document is properly notarized before applying. www.wcss.com
