📄✈️ What Is an Apostille — and Why Might You Need One?
If you’re in Texas and need to use an important document in another country, you may be told that it needs an apostille. But what exactly does that mean?
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public document so it can be recognized in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention.
Documents that may need an apostille include:
📜 Birth & marriage certificates
🎓 Diplomas and school records
⚖️ Powers of Attorney
📝 Affidavits and notarized documents
📋 Divorce or court documents
🏢 Certain business documents
…and more!
⭐ Important: An apostille does not certify that the information inside your document is true. It authenticates the signature, seal, or authority associated with the document.
For qualifying Texas documents, the apostille process is generally handled through the Texas Secretary of State.
