What is an Apostille?

Apostille is a French word for certification. It is a certificate issued for the document, so it becomes valid abroad. On October 5, 1961, a number of countries created an easy method to legalize documents for international use. Those countries are referred to as the members of the Hague Apostille Convention. According to the Convention, it is required that any document issued on the territory of one country shall be authenticated in order to be recognized and accepted in another country member of the Hague Convention.

How to Obtain a Death Certificate Apostille?

It is important to note that the Apostille cannot be obtained for the original death certificate. Thus, first of all, you will need to get a certified copy of the death certificate. Such a copy has a number of special security features to prove that the document is authentic. A death certificate certified copy can have the following security features – heat-sensitive ink, a watermark, micro-printing, a raised seal, multi-colored background, etc.
