WHAT IS AN ACADEMIC DOCUMENT APOSTILLE?

An apostille is an official certificate issued by the Secretary of State that authenticates the signature and authority on a document so it can be legally recognized in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

Academic documents often require apostilles before they can be accepted by:

• Foreign universities
• International employers
• Immigration offices
• Licensing agencies
• Foreign ministries of education
• Visa programs
• Credential evaluation agencies

Without an apostille or legalization, many countries may reject academic documents issued in the United States.
