Why would I get my Documents Apostilled?

The word 'Apostille' is a French word which means 'certification'. It is commonly used in English to refer to the legalisation of an official document.

Under the 1961 Hague Convention, documents which have been first certified by a solicitor and then certified with a conformant apostille are accepted for legal and international use in all the nations that have signed the Hague Convention.

The certification of the documents would therefore be recognised on an International scale giving creditation to the documents presented.
