Can every US document be apostilled?

Only documents issued or certified by a US government authority can receive an apostille (e.g., Secretary of State certificates, court documents). Private documents (like contracts) must first be notarised before being eligible for apostille.

How long is an apostille valid?

The apostille certificate itself does not expire. However, the underlying document (such as a Certificate of Good Standing) may have its own validity period — typically 30–90 days. We advise on timing your apostille request accordingly.

Do I need an apostille or legalisation?

Apostille is required for documents used in Hague Convention member countries (120+). Legalisation (a more complex process through the foreign country's embassy) is required for non-Hague countries. We advise on which process applies for your target country.

Can the apostilled document be sent to me physically?

Yes. While all documents are delivered digitally to your secure dashboard, we can also arrange physical courier delivery of the original apostilled document to any international address upon request.

What Is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a form of international certification defined by the Hague Convention of 1961. It authenticates the origin of a public document (such as a business certificate or government-issued record) so it will be legally recognised in another country that is a signatory to the Hague Convention. Over 120 countries accept apostilled documents.
