What is USA Apostille?

A USA apostille is an official certification that authenticates US documents for international use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. It eliminates the need for embassy legalization.

In the United States, apostille is issued at the state level by the Secretary of State of the state where the document was issued. Each state has its own apostille office and procedures.

Important Note:

Federal documents (FBI background checks, USCIS documents, etc.) require apostille from the US Department of State in Washington DC, not from state offices.
