Why I decided to offer Apostille Services

Apostille services in Washington, DC are becoming increasingly popular as people realize the many benefits they offer. An apostille is an official certification of a document’s authenticity issued by the DC Secretary of State, and is used to validate documents for use in different countries. It is needed when a document needs to be recognized by the government or legal system of a different country, or when the document needs to be used in a foreign country where the original document is not accepted.

In Washington, DC, the apostille process is handled by the Office of the Secretary of the District of Columbia. The office is responsible for verifying and authenticating documents, as well as providing certificates of authentication and apostille services. The documents must be notarized, signed, and sealed by the relevant government authority before they can be apostilled.

The documents that can be apostilled in Washington, DC include birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, divorce decrees, adoption papers, school transcripts, diplomas, educational records, and more. The documents must be in their original form, with the original signature of the issuing authority. Once the documents have been authenticated and apostilled, they can be used in any other country that is a member of the Hague Convention.

For those who need to have their documents apostilled, the process is relatively straightforward and can be completed quickly and easily.
