The Apostille Treaty specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory states. Such a certification is called an Apostille Stamp (what in French means “Certification”). Apostille is an internationally recognized certificate supplementing a notarization or authentication of the document.
