What Exactly is an Apostille?
Simply put, an Apostille is an added form of verification that a document is real, typically done by the Secretary of State. They review the document and put their "Seal of Approval' on the document. Within the United States an Apostille is not needed and documents can be verified with a Notary Public. However; other countries just want that added layer of protection to make sure the document being presented is authentic.
