The Apostilles serve as a stamp of approval for any document sent to countries that signed the Hague Convention of 1961. This convention was created in 1961. They will authenticate and legitimize your United States papers before these signatory countries, saving you the trouble of looking for other forms of authentication and legitimization.
After the Apostille procedure has been performed on these papers, they are legal tender that may be used anywhere in the world. Papers such as divorce judgements, marriage certificates, death certificates, FBI background checks, social security checks, US passports, driver’s licenses, letters from the IRS, and many more are examples of these types of documents.
