✅ What Is an Apostille and Why Do You Need One?

An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Maryland Secretary of State that verifies the authenticity of a notarized document or public record, making it legally acceptable in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

You may need an apostille if you’re:

• Getting married internationally
• Completing an international adoption
• Enrolling in a foreign school
• Opening a business overseas
• Managing legal matters abroad

Some commonly apostilled documents include:

• Birth & Marriage Certificates
• School Transcripts & Diplomas
• Power of Attorney & Legal Contracts
• Background Checks & Identity Documents
• Business Registration or IRS Letters
