An apostille is a certificate issued by the clerk’s office under the 1981 Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. It is the vehicle by which documents of one country are authenticated for use in another country. The apostille serves as a certification by the clerk or deputy clerk that the last signature on the document or record is genuine and that any seal is the seal of the court.
