What Is an Apostille Agent?

An apostille agent is a professional who specializes in authenticating documents or helping individuals obtain apostilles for their documents. An apostille certifies a document, indicating that it meets the requirements set by the Hague Convention. It is issued by a government agency, like the Secretary of State’s office. The certification allows the document to be legally recognized in countries that are part of this convention. Some reasons why people may need an apostille for a foreign country include the following:

Getting married
Obtaining citizenship
Adopting children
Working or studying abroad
Assigning power of attorney
Starting a business in a foreign country
