What is Apostille
An apostille is required when presenting public documents abroad to establish their validity. It eliminates the need for further verification or certification in the destination country, saving time, effort, and potential complications. Documents commonly requiring an apostille include birth certificates, marriage licenses, educational transcripts, adoption papers, and powers of attorney.
