An Apostille is a certification provided under the Hague Convention of 1961 for authenticating documents for use in countries that are signatories to the convention. In the United States, the Office of Authentications in the U.S. Department of State provides Apostille services for documents that will be used in a foreign country.

To obtain an Apostille for a document in the United States, you will typically need to do the following:

1. Determine if the document is eligible for an Apostille: Not all types of documents are eligible for an Apostille. Some examples of documents that may be eligible include birth certificates, death certificates, marriage certificates, and powers of attorney.

2. Obtain a certified copy of the document: You will typically need to obtain a certified copy of the document from the issuing agency. This may be a government agency or a private organization, depending on the type of document.

3. Have the document legalized: Some states require that the document be legalized by a Notary Public before it can be sent to the Office of Authentications for an Apostille. This will vary depending on the state in which you live.

4. Submit the document to Global Apostille.

It's important to note that the process of obtaining an Apostille can vary depending on the type of document, the state in which you live, and the country in which the document will be used. It's a good idea to check with the relevant authorities in advance to determine the specific requirements and procedures for obtaining an Apostille in your case.
