Apostille Services by a
Notary Public in

Charlotte, North Carolina

🔹 What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is an official certificate issued by the North Carolina Secretary of State that authenticates the signature of a public official (like a notary or county clerk) on a document for international use. It confirms that the document is legitimate and can be recognized in countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention.

It’s important to understand that an Apostille does not validate the contents of a document—only the authenticity of the signature, seal, or office of the person who signed it.

🔹 Who Needs an Apostille?

You’ll likely need an apostille if you are:

Studying Abroad – Transcripts, diplomas, or school letters
Getting Married Overseas – Birth certificates or single status affidavits
Handling an International Adoption – Medical, financial, or personal documents
Moving or Working Abroad – FBI background checks, driver’s licenses, or work contracts
Conducting International Business – Corporate documents like power of attorney, certificates of good standing, or articles of incorporation
Managing Legal Affairs Abroad – Wills, name change documents, or notarized affidavits

🔹 Can You Get an Apostille on Your Own?

Yes—but it can be complicated. North Carolina residents can submit documents to the NC Secretary of State for apostille themselves. However, your documents must meet specific conditions:

✅ Must be properly notarized in NC or certified by a recognized NC official
✅ Must be submitted with the correct request form
✅ Payment must be submitted via certified check or money order
✅ Incorrect documents will be rejected or delayed

One small error can cost you time, money, or even the legal validity of your paperwork.
