WHAT IS DOCUMENT AUTHENTICATION?
Document Authentication is a verification of the genuineness of a document or signature, to make it effective or valid for use in other countries. It usually takes the form of a sealed or stamped certificate that confirms the authority of a public official (such as judge or a notary public) or of a signatory.

WHAT ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF AUTHENTICATIONS?
1.APOSTILLES are issued for documents that will be used in foreign countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. Secretary of State Apostille will be issued for all state-issued documents (Birth/Marriage/Death certificates, Certificates of Good Standing, etc) and for all notarized documents. Federally issued documents (FBI background checks, Certificates to Foreign Government, etc) will have a Apostille issued through the US Department of State.

2. AUTHENTICATIONS/CERTIFICATIONS are used for documents that will be used in foreign countries that are NOT members of the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty. There is a three step process of authentication of state-issued or notarized documents: US Secretary of State, US State Department & Embassy of the country of destination. Federally-issued documents only require US State Department and Embassy seals.
