What is an Apostille document, why do I need it and where can I get it?
The Apostille Document is a special certification document, which is accepted to countries who are a party to the rules of the Hague Convention. The Apostille document enables you to bypass further certification from the US Department of State and immediately send or take your documents to the country of intended use. Please contact your Secretary of State office for information on how to obtain the Apostille Document or log on to http://www.travel.state.gov/about/info/customer/customer_312.html For Canadian Residents the Authentication document, which is obtained from your Nearest Mexican Embassy Office, serves the same purpose as the Apostille document.
