New York has one of our highest demands for apostilles in the U.S. The apostille certification requirement was established by the Hague Convention of 1961, which created a standardized process for documents to be recognized in foreign countries.
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a document so that it can legally be used in another country. While it doesn’t validate the document’s content, an apostille authenticates the signature of the public official who signed the document.
If an American is seeking Italian dual citizenship, for example, they must provide a variety of vital records—like birth and death certificates—along with their citizenship application. To be considered legally valid in Italy, these records must be apostilled.
The Hague Convention of 1961 established the requirement for apostille certification. It made important documents legal and recognizable in foreign countries and standardized a process for doing so. Legal documents issued in one nation can be made legal in another country that also signed the convention.
An apostille certificate authorizes the party that has signed the document and verifies the authenticity of the seal on the document. Obtaining an apostille can take time, but knowing the right process can streamline the process.
