Introduction​

​

A power of attorney document often needs to be authenticated before it can be used internationally. An apostille verifies the authenticity of the notarization so the document can be legally accepted abroad.
Our apostille service helps coordinate the authentication of power of attorney documents for international use.

​

When You Need an Apostille​

​

Common situations include:
• International real estate transactions
• Financial or banking matters overseas
• Granting authority to family members abroad
• Business transactions in another country
• Legal representation outside the United States

​

Which Power of Attorney Documents Qualify​

​

To receive an apostille, the birth certificate must typically be:

• Properly notarized by a commissioned notary public
• Complete and signed by all required parties
• Free from alterations or missing pages

 

Documents that are not notarized cannot be apostilled.
