Apostille for
Notarization of
Official & Personal Documents

1. What is an Apostille for Notarized Documents?

An Apostille for Notarized Documents is a certification that confirms the authenticity of a document that has been notarized by a licensed notary public. It allows both personal and official documents to be legally recognized in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.

This process is commonly used to validate documents such as affidavits, power of attorney, consent letters, sworn declarations, and certified true copies for use overseas.

2. Why an Apostille is Needed for Notarized Documents

You may need an Apostille for Notarized Documents in the following situations:

  • Using a notarized power of attorney abroad
  • Submitting sworn affidavits for legal or administrative procedures in another country
  • Certifying copies of passports, IDs, or academic records for international applications
  • Authorizing travel consent letters for minors
  • Providing notarized declarations for immigration or property matters
  • Registering business-related documents across borders

Without an Apostille, notarized documents may not be accepted overseas, leading to rejections or the need for consular legalization.
