What is an Apostille?
It's an authentication in a higher level to be used in another country.

Apostilles are NEVER meant to be used within United States.

You will need an Apostille if ALL of the following apply:
the country where the document was issued is party to the Apostille Convention; and
the country in which the document is to be used is party to the Apostille Convention; and
the law of the country where the document was issued considers it to be a public document; and
the country in which the document is to be used requires an Apostille in order to recognize it as a foreign public document.
