Hague Apostille Country List

The Apostille Convention facilitates the circulation of public documents executed in one Contracting Party to the Convention and to be produced in another. It replaces the cumbersome and often costly formalities of a full legalization process (chain certification) with the mere issuance of an Apostille.

What does Hague Apostille mean? An Apostille (pronounced “ah-po-steel”) is a French word meaning certification. The Apostille is attached to your original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic so it will be accepted in one of the other countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
