Are you in possession of a document that needs to be authenticated prior to being accepted internationally? The most common authentications are apostilles and certifications.
If your document is going to one of the 69 member countries of the Hague Convention then your document will simply require an apostille issued at the state level. Once the apostille is attached the document may be sent directly to the member nation with no further action.
Documents going to a non-member countries will be issued a certification and then must be transmitted to the Authentication Office of the Department of State in Washington, D.C. for further processing.
Common documents requiring an apostille or certification are birth certificates, marriage licenses, school records, such as transcripts & diplomas, death certificates, papers for adoption, powers of attorney, parental permission to travel, etc.
