What is an Apostille?
An apostille is a certificate issued by the Virginia Secretary of the Commonwealth that confirms the authenticity of a document so it can be used in another country. It verifies the signature and authority of the Virginia notary or public official who signed the document. Apostilles are commonly required for use in Hague Convention countries for items such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, powers of attorney, school records, and business documents.
What is a Notary Public?
A Notary Public is an impartial state-appointed official who verifies identity, witnesses signatures, and completes notarial certificates to help prevent fraud. A notary makes sure that the signer is who they claim to be, is signing willingly, and understands what they are signing. Common notarized documents include affidavits, power of attorney forms, real estate documents, financial statements, and travel consent letters.
