APOSTILLES ACCEPTED BY HAGUE CONVENTION COUNTRIES

Documents to be used in a country that is a party of the Hague Convention must request the apostille from the Secretary of State where the document was executed. This apostille certification then eliminates the need to send the document to the US Department of State. Once an individual receives and apostille on a document and the document is going to be used in the Hague Convention country, the document is ready for that country.
