Professional Apostille Services for Corporate and Legal Documents


When conducting international business or legal transactions, properly authenticated documents are critical. Apostille services ensure your U.S.-issued documents are legally recognized abroad, preventing delays, rejections, and compliance issues.



What Is an Apostille?


An apostille is an official certification issued by a Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It confirms the validity of the signature, seal, and authority of the issuing official.


Common corporate and legal documents requiring an apostille include:


  • Articles of incorporation and corporate resolutions

  • Powers of attorney

  • Contracts and affidavits

  • Court documents

  • Business licenses and compliance records


Without an apostille, international entities may refuse to accept your documents.
