What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a form of authentication issued by the Colorado Secretary of State that certifies a document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This certification allows your documents to be recognized as valid in over 120 participating countries.
Common documents that may require apostille certification include birth certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, powers of attorney, corporate documents, academic transcripts, and court orders.

Do documents need to be notarized before getting an apostille?
It depends on the document type. Some documents require notarization before apostille processing, while others (like state-issued vital records) may not. I can help determine the correct preparation for your specific documents.
