What is Legalization?
NOUN – Origin French
(ă pŏs tēēl’)
Apostilles are affixed to documents for foreign use by Competent Authorities designated by the government of a state which is party to the 1961 Hague Convention, abolishing the requirement for legalization for foreign public documents. To be eligible for an Apostille, a document must first be issued or certified by an officer recognized by the authority that will issue the Apostille, such as a Notary Public or Public Official. An Apostille certifies the document for use in foreign countries, provided that both are signatories to the Hague convention.
If the county you are sending your documents to is not party to the Hague Convention, then in addition to obtaining Authentication at the State Level documents you may also need Embassy/Consulate Legalization and sometimes Department of State Authentication.
