What Is an Apostille?
An apostille is a simplified form of international certification used between countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
When Is Apostille Needed?
It is usually required when a public document will be used in a Hague Convention country instead of going through embassy legalization.
Important: Not every document or destination accepts apostille. Some countries still require MOFA or embassy legalization depending on the issuing country and use case.
