Español
Apostille Corp specializes in authenticating public documents for use abroad. We process documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, and other public records. Authentication depends on the destination country’s requirements. For countries part of the Hague Convention, an Apostille is applied, while non-Hague countries require Certification.
Types of Authentication for International Documents
- Hague Convention Countries: An Apostille is used for countries that are members of the Hague Convention. This simplified authentication process is internationally recognized.
- Non-Hague Convention Countries: For countries outside the Hague Convention, Certification is the required process to validate your documents.

Requirements for Apostille Services
Original Documents
For apostilles on original documents, the following conditions must be met:
- The original document must have been issued recently.
- The signature must be correct.
- The destination country must accept apostilles on original documents.
Apostilles for original documents typically take 5-10 business days to process.
Scanned Photocopy of Original Document
In some cases, a scanned photocopy of the original document may be apostilled. This is typically done when:
- The original document is damaged or more than 10 years old.
- The destination country accepts apostilles for scanned copies of original documents (most countries do).
- You need the apostille processed within 24 hours.
Important Note: When opting for a scanned photocopy, the apostille will be processed in New York since both the notary and apostille must be issued from the same state. To have an apostille issued in Alabama, you will need to provide the original document.

- Documents signed by Dorothy S. Harshbarger are not eligible for apostille services.
- For vital records like birth and marriage certificates, you can request an apostille from:
- The person named on the document.
- The mother or father of the person named.
- The spouse, child, or sibling of the person named.
