Apostille is the simplified certification of public documents (including notarized), for their international use in all nations that have joined the Apostille Section of the Hague Convention. Signatory countries have agreed under the Apostille Section of the Hague Convention to recognize public documents certified by the “Apostille”.

The main function of the Apostille is to certify the authenticity of the signature on the document (i. e: State Registrar, County Clerk, Judge, Vital Records Officer or Notary Public).

The Apostille is applied only to public documents, signed by an authority or official connected with a court or tribunal of the State.... Read More

Those opposed to the legalizing of any particular behavior, action, substance or item will claim that legalization will bring benefits to individuals at the expense of the common good.
