Apostille Meaning

March 15, 2020 by admin

What is the meaning of an apostille?

An Apostille is simply the name for a specialized certificate, issued by the Secretary of State. The Apostille is attached to your original document to verify it is legitimate and authentic so it will be accepted in one of the countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

There are currently 117 countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

In the United States, all 50 states and the Federal Government (US Department of State – Office of Authentication) can issue an Apostille. We have provided an example of every U.S. State and U.S. Federal apostille.

In 1961, many countries joined together to create a simplified method of “legalizing” documents for universal recognition. Members of the conference, referred to as the Hague Convention, adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that would be recognized by all member countries.

For example, if your document requires notarization (Example: Power of Attorney), then the apostille will authenticate the notary’s seal and signature. The notary would be the public official. For vital record documents (Birth, Death, Marriage) the official would be the County Clerk or the State Registrar.

Power of Attorney Apostille

March 4, 2020 by admin

Do you need to apostille your Power of Attorney?

By obtaining an apostille on a power of attorney, you can avoid traveling altogether saving you time and money. For example, if you would like to sell your property in Mexico, you can assign your family member, friend, or attorney to act on your behalf while you are still in the United States.

In order to apostille your power of attorney, you must mail in the original notarized copy to our office for processing. A power of attorney can only be authenticated from the State the documents were notarized in. The notary must be commissioned and use proper notarial wording for their State.

The Secretary of State does not have the authority to authenticate documents notarized in other States. For example, if your power of attorney was signed and notarized in the State of California, the State of California is the only State that can issue the apostille. Another example is if your power of attorney was signed and notarized in the State of New York, only the State of New York can issue the apostille.

Some States require a notarized document to also be authenticated by the County Clerk. These States include: Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, New York, and Tennessee.

We recommend that your power of attorney be prepared by a professional from the Country requesting it. For example, if the Country of Mexico is requesting a signed and notarized power of attorney, we recommend that an attorney or paralegal in Mexico prepare your document both in English and Spanish. Some US States will not apostille a document written in a foreign language. In order to avoid this, we recommend your documents to be written in both languages.

If you are located outside of the USA and need to have your signed power of attorney authenticated for a country other than the USA, you can contact the local U.S. Embassy or U.S. Consulate office and meet with a U.S. Federal notary. Once notarized, you can then mail in this document to our Washington DC apostille office for processing.

Obtaining an apostille can be complicated and time-consuming. Don’t leave this process to untrained employees or non-professionals who do not fully understand the apostille process and the unique requirements of certain countries. Your paperwork could be rejected costing you time and money. Don’t let this happen to you!

Do you need to apostille your Car Title?

Has your car been stolen / recovered in another country and you need to apostille the car title? Have you sold your car to a buyer in a foreign country and he/she is asking for you to sign the car title, have it notarized with an apostille? Are you planning to ship your car to a foreign country and need to register it there? Are you a foreign buyer and have purchased a car from the United States?

In order to obtain an apostille on a car title, it must be signed and notarized. If you are selling your car, all you have to do is meet with a notary public and have your signature signed and notarized. If you are not selling your car, simply make a color copy of your car title and meet with a local notary public. You can write out an affidavit and attach it to the color copy attesting that the copy is a true copy of the original in your possession (AKA: Copy certification by document custodian). In some states, a notary can copy certify your car title without you being present.

Are you currently outside of the U.S. and you are a U.S. Citizen? Please visit the closest U.S. Embassy to meet with a notary there. Please contact the Embassy before as most notarization are by appointment.
