WHAT IS AN APOSTILLE?
"Apostille" is a French word meaning certification and is an additional form of authentication of documents that allows them to be recognized internationally by countries who are members of the 1961 Hague Convention treaty. In short, you have a public (recordable) document which needs to be authenticated for use in a foreign country.
