Get Your Documents Apostilled

by Far Themes Law

The purpose of the apostille process is to make sure that foreign countries will recognize public documents as valid and authentic.

When you send a document to be authenticated by an authorized person, that person must certify that they have examined your document and it is genuine. In addition, they must notarize the signature of the signer so that it cannot be changed or forged in any way later on.

This makes sure that:

  • Your document hasn’t been altered since you signed it (to make false claims)
  • Your signature does not look like someone else’s (to make false claims)

If you need an apostille for your documents, there are two options: you can get it at the state capital or you can get it at your local county clerk’s office. You’ll want to check with both places before deciding which one is right for you and your needs.

The process of getting an apostille can vary greatly depending on which country you’re going to be using it for. The good news is that most countries have similar requirements for their documents, so if you can get one here in the U.S., then it should work just fine when you take it abroad!
