Important: Wet-Ink Paper Documents Only
This Hague Apostille option is for physical paper documents with original wet-ink signatures or certified paper originals.
Electronic signatures, digitally signed PDFs, and digital-only documents are not eligible for this option. If your document is electronic, choose the correct electronic apostille or document handling path before booking.

- Physical wet-ink signature, when required
- Receiving country name

Document Review
We review your document before processing to confirm whether it appears ready for apostille or needs notarization, certification, correction, or a different authentication route.
Hague vs. Non-Hague
Apostilles are used for Hague Convention countries. If the destination country does not accept apostilles, the document may need embassy or consulate legalization instead.

Business Documents
Apostille support for companies, professionals, and entrepreneurs submitting documents to foreign institutions, business partners, or government agencies.

School & Legal Documents
Educational and legal documents often need extra review before apostille because certification rules vary by school, court, agency, and receiving country.
