Documents issued in one country which need to be used in another country must have the notarization or official certification authenticated or be "authenticate notarization" or "legalized" before they can be recognized as valid in the foreign country. This is a process in which various seals are placed on the document. have the notarization or official certification authenticated.
The sole function of the NY Apostile certification is to certify the authenticity of the signature on the document; the capacity in which the person signing the document acted; and the identity of any stamp or seal affixed to the document. An
Apostille

embossed with the
Great Seal of the State of New York, (as of
15 April 2010 it was changed to), a black and white laser printed facsimile of the New York State Department of State Seal. The
Apostille stamp includes the facsimile signature of the individual issuing the certificate.
On 28 July 2010 the New York State Secretary of State has change the Apostille format again. Now, the apostille is joined with a grommet that can not be removed.

The Hague Convention
The purpose of the Hague Convention was to create a simplified method of “legalizing” documents for universal recognition. The group of nations that participate in these procedures are known as the "Hague Convention". They adopted a document format that is referred to as an Apostille (apostilla) that is internationally recognized by all member nations.
What does this means to me?
If the country where you seek legalization belongs to the Hague Convention, you will required an Apostille Stamp. All other nations require Embassy legalization or Consular Legalization.
If the country where the document will be used is not a party to the Convention, you will have to begin a time-consuming & cumbersome process of obtaining a series of certifications or signatures or stamps known as the "chain authentication method". This is literally a paper chase in which authorities will have to attest to the validity of a succession of signatures beginning with your document and ending with the seal of the foreign embassy or consulate in the United States.
The following countries accept the Apostille as a standard form of international document legalization.
Most NYC & Long Island documents can received an NYC Apostille stamp within a 24 hour time frame. Other documents from out of state may require additional processing time. Each document is different and may require additional time for traveling between locations to get the document Apostile.

Can I use an Apostille for a non Hague Conference country?
In some cases, even though a country is not a signatory to The Hague Conference, the Apostille is still known, recognized and accepted as authentic on a case by case basis. This has come about because of the official governmental source of an Apostille and its inherent simplicity.
We cannot however, offer any guarantees that this will be the case. Should you wish to use an Apostille in a non-member country, it is essential that you confirm beforehand whether the entity you wish to present the Apostille stamped document to, will recognize the authenticity of an Apostille. It may also be the case that further Legalisation or Attestation is required before the Apostille document is recognized as legal. In any case, the first step is the Apostille. The Apostille is a pre-requisite to further Legalization or Attestation.

Q. Can I get an Apostille for my document even if I'm in another country.
A. The short answer is Yes. However, each document is different, so you must scan it and send it Notary & Apostille Service to evaluate your document and to see if your document is Apostille ready.
Q. I want to get my document Apostille but I don't want to send my document to a stranger to get an Apostille.
A. A Notary Public is a position of trust. New York Secretary of State trusts Notaries to properly identify each individual to make sure they are who they claim to be. As a Notary Signing Agent I have to pass a background check every year to make sure I am of good character. Notaries are the first line of defense in preventing terrorism and Identity Theft. We often handle sensitive information such as financial record, bank account information, drivers license, passport info, social status or life style or persuasions. So, I think you can trust Notary & Apostille Service with your documents too.
DISCLAIMER: The New York Secretary of State is the official Apostille issuer of the Apostilla for foreign certification. We will make every attempt to get your document Apostille or Legalized. However, if the document does not meet official requirements, we will give you the option of correcting the problem and resubmitting your document again. An additional service charge, document processing and/or mailing fees may apply.
