HAGUE APOSTILLE LEGALISATION
Apostille Definition: A simplified certification of public (including notarized) documents used in countries that participate in a Hague Convention. This simplified form contains numbered fields (which allow the data to be understood by all participating countries regardless of the official language of the issuing country). The completed apostille form certifies the authenticity of the document's signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted, and identifies the seal/stamp, which the document bears. Documents needed for inter-country adoptions require the attachment of an apostille (rather than authentication forms) if the foreign country participates in the convention.
Coddan offers you the convenience and knowledge to obtain the Apostille on your documents from the government without the need for you to travel to the state government offices. We save you time, money, and potentially incorrect document presentation, which could cause rejection. We go to the state government offices with your documents, stand in line, complete any applications, pay the Apostille fees and wait until it is completed. Our service is both cost-effective and timesaving. You can track your return order with Fedex or DHL online, and even make payment to us for the services with a Credit Card or electronic check, online, from the comfort of your home or office.
All Apostille certificates will look the same for all the countries you send the Apostille to. However, a few countries have a different requirement other than an Apostille, and your document would receive a Legalization Certificate instead. Our office will obtain necessary county government Notary Authentication first, then the Apostille.
