If you plan to use your degree, diploma or enrollment and graduation verification letter in a foreign country, you may need an Apostille or Authentication. An Apostille confirms the signature and position of the official who signed or issued your document. An Authentication confirms the identity of the seal or stamp that appears on your document. Your documents may require an apostille or authentication if they were prepared by NYS government agencies (like StudentLink or the Registrar’s Office) or other federal, state and county offices in the United States.

Apostilles are designed to simplify the certification of public documents for use in countries that are part of a treaty called the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. Apostilles can be used to certify a wide range of public documents including notarized documents. If your business plans to work outside the United States, it is important to understand how these certifications are processed as each country has its own unique requirements.

To get an apostille for a federal document, you need to know which federal agency issued the document and which country it will be used in. Some countries are part of the Hague treaty and will only accept apostilles, while others need a full legalization in addition to the apostille.
