Thread Question: For everyone who lands here looking for information on apostilles, here's some basic information. 1. Be sure that the country you're applying to accepts an apostille 2. Wherever your document originated from is where you go to get your apostille. 3. Typically anything can be apostilled -- there are loopholes for every scenerio.

If a foreign country where you require your American document to operate is not a signatory to The Hague Convention, its Embassy, Consular, diplomatic or trade representative (e.g. United Arab Emirates and Taiwan) in United States normally attends to the legalization of American documents. In most cases it will require the document to be authenticated in the first instance by the notary, followed by seal of the Secretary of State and US State Department in Washington D.C. Each foreign country has its own specific requirements, procedures and fees when asked to legalize an American document for use in its country. It may be a requirement, for instance, that the contents of the document are translated from the original language to English language or into their country's own language, and that such translation also be authenticated by the respective departments.

The process depends on the type of document. For instance some corporate documents such a Corporate Power of Attorney will require multiple steps to be taken in order to be proper legalized to use abroad when Certificate of Incorporation may be much quicker. However these are two completely different documents. On the other hand something like Single Status Affidavit and No Record of Marriage Certificate are both designed to achieve same goal yet the time frame for preparation and legalization are significantly different. Also, not all countries accept apostille as stated above so one to make sure to very which type of legalization is required. Furthermore, not every country will accept one or another document. It is best to verify the list of documents required from you before you start the process of legalization. Here’s a link to legalizing Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Incumbency to show the difference between documents that has to be first of all drafted versus generic ones.
