If you are preparing to work abroad, organizing a destination wedding in a unique locale, or seeking to advance your education in another nation, it is essential to obtain an apostille for your passport.
An apostille serves as a universally accepted certification of authenticity recognized by countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention of 1961. For countries that are not members, the passport must undergo the legalization process through the respective Embassy or Consulate of the destination country.
There is no need to submit your original passport; an apostille can be granted based on a color photocopy of the passport, provided that the requisite procedures have been followed.
Instead of forwarding your original passport, please send a color copy of the identity page along with the following statement written at the bottom:
I do hereby attest that this is a true and correct photocopy of my US Passport.
{Signed and dated}
You have the option to have this statement notarized before sending it to us, or you may send it directly, and we will handle the notarization and apostille process for you.
If you choose to have the copy of your passport notarized prior to submission, ensure that you select a notary who is well-versed in this procedure; they must utilize the appropriate wording, and the document must be signed, stamped, and include the notary’s registration number and expiration date.
