An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document, such as a birth certificate or a diploma, for use in a foreign country.

It is issued by a government agency, typically the Secretary of State, and certifies that the document is genuine and has been signed and/or sealed by a recognized public official or notary public.

The Apostille ensures that the document will be recognized as valid in any country that is a member of the Hague Convention.

The Apostille process is an important step in international transactions, such as studying abroad or conducting business overseas.
