Apostille Services

Document Legalization Services in Virginia

Planning to work, study, or conduct business abroad? Many international destinations require you to present official U.S. documents—such as criminal background checks, birth certificates, or academic transcripts—before granting you legal clearance like a work permit or student visa.

However, foreign governments need assurance that your documents are valid and authentic. That’s where apostille certification comes in.

What Is an Apostille?

An apostille is an internationally recognized form of document authentication that verifies the signature and seal of a U.S. government official on a public document. Apostilles are accepted in all countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961, allowing your documents to be used abroad without further legalization.

This process ensures that your documents are:

  • Legally recognized overseas

  • Free from suspicion of fraud

  • Verified and approved for international use

Whether you're applying for a job, enrolling in a foreign university, or managing international legal affairs, having the correct apostille or authentication can help you avoid costly delays and legal complications.

When Do You Need an Apostille?

You may need apostille services if you're:

  • Working internationally

  • Studying abroad

  • Marrying in a foreign country

  • Doing business overseas

  • Moving abroad for personal reasons

Documents Commonly Requiring Apostilles Include:

  • Birth and marriage certificates

  • Academic diplomas and transcripts

  • FBI background checks and court records

  • Naturalization or immigration documents

  • IRS records or tax-related documents

  • Power of attorney and legal agreements

  • Employment and job certificates

  • Business or distribution agreements

What if the Country Is Not in the Hague Convention?

If your destination country is not a member of the Hague Convention, your documents will require document legalization instead of an apostille. This is a more detailed process that involves authentication from multiple government agencies.
