When a document needs to be presented in a foreign country, it must be authenticated before being used. This process ensures the signatures and seals on the document are genuine. It can be a lengthy process and requires multiple steps to be completed correctly. If you’re working in a country that isn’t part of the Hague Apostille Convention, you’ll need to follow an entirely different process and have your documents legalized by the local Embassy or Consulate office.

What Documents Need a Federal Apostille?

The type of document that you need an apostille for depends on the government agency that issued it. For example, any document that was issued by the State Department (including passports and other official identification cards) will need a federal apostille.

Similarly, any document that was issued by the County of New York, such as birth, death, or marriage certificates, will need a State Apostille before it can be submitted for county authentication at the NDNY. Other public documents, including background checks, will need a letter of exemplification from the Office of the Secretary of State before it can be apostilled by the NDNY.
