Apostille & Document Authentication
Documents authenticated for use abroad under the Hague treaty of 1961, so foreign institutions, governments and courts accept what you send them.
The Service
Documents That Are Accepted Abroad
An apostille is a method of authenticating documents legally. It is performed by the New York State Department of State, and it is what makes a New York document acceptable to foreign institutions, governments, and courts under the Hague treaty of 1961.
Apostilles are commonly required for international real estate transactions, forming a business abroad, inheritance matters, and educational credential verification. Students who need to attend a foreign university, for instance, must have their transcripts and diplomas notarized and apostilled before the institution will consider them. I guide you through the New York State authentication process from the notarization onward, so nothing is sent abroad only to be rejected on a technicality.
