A federal apostille fast service is a legal certification that a public document is authentic. It is the result of an agreement between countries that signed the 1961 Hague Convention abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The apostille process simplifies the certificate of authenticity of public documents for use in any of the signatory countries.

Apostilles and authentication certificates verify signatures, stamps or seals on important documents like court orders, contracts, marriage licenses, and educational diplomas. The country you plan to use your document in determines whether you need an apostille or authentication certificate. Apostilles are only issued for documents that were originally issued in a country that signed the Hague Convention and are to be used in another country that also accepts apostilles. Documents that were originally issued by the state or a private entity will need an authentication certificate from the Secretary of State.
