Apostille VIP

An Apostille is a cover attached to a document which has been authenticated by a Secretary of State and, in some instances, the US Department of State allowing the document to be used in a foreign country.
Bound by a treaty signing back in 1961 known as the Hague Convention, documents are authenticated by the Secretary of State from which they originate.  If they country of destination is not a member of the Hague, the document(s) then require legalization from the U.S. Department of State.
