When is an Apostille needed?

When you need to send or authenticate important documents internationally, an apostille is needed and must be validated, sealed and signed by a notary public on the correct document(s) so that it can be accepted in a foreign country.

Apostilles authenticate the seals and signatures of officials on public documents such as birth certificates, POAs, real estate transactions,  or any other document issued by a federal agency or certified by an American or foreign consul.

 

Failure to do so correctly will invalidate your documents and will be denied by the foreign country receiving said documents.

 

Therefore working with an experienced Notary Public such as Illinois Notary Pros who is familiar with Illinois Apostilles is critical to ensure your documents are processed smoothly and accepted by the receiving country.
