Many types of documents may need an apostille when they are being presented for official use in another country that participates in the Hague Apostille Convention.

B. Elise Notary Services can facilitate apostille requests for many document types, including:

1. Birth certificates
2. Marriage certificates
3. Death certificates
4. Divorce decrees
5. Court and Clerk of Court records
6. Background checks
7. Powers of attorney
8. School transcripts and diplomas
9. Corporate and business documents
10. Vehicle titles and other eligible motor vehicle records
11. Notarized documents
12. Other eligible state or federal documents

The required process depends on the type of document and where it was issued. Some documents must be certified by the issuing authority, while others may require notarization or additional authentication before an apostille can be issued.

Not every document being used internationally requires an apostille. Requirements should be confirmed with the foreign agency, organization, or other receiving party that will be accepting the document.

B. Elise Notary Services reviews each request individually to help determine the appropriate processing steps.
