What is an Apostille?
An Apostille is a form of authentication issued for documents that will be used in countries that are members of the Hague Convention of 1961. Countries that participate in the Convention accept an Apostille as valid certification of a document’s authenticity. For countries that are not members of the Hague Convention, documents require additional authentication and legalization through the appropriate embassy or consulate.
Processing times vary depending on the destination country, the type of document, and the issuing authority. In some cases, documents may need to be forwarded to Washington, DC for federal authentication before they can proceed to embassy legalization, which can extend the overall timeframe.

Important Note
Before sending your original documents, we highly recommend scanning or taking clear photos (front and back) and emailing them to our team. This allows us to review everything to ensure the necessary signatures and seals are in place for Apostille or other types of Authentication.
Also, if documents need to be notarized, it’s crucial to work with an experienced Notary Public for documents that require Apostilles. If there’s an error, it could lead to your documents being rejected, resulting in additional fees from Portesette Notary Services and the need to restart the entire Apostille process.
