An Apostille is an international certification accepted by the countries participating in The Hague Treaty. Consular/Embassy legalization of documents is required for documents used in countries not part of the Hague Convention.

Notarizing a document adds an extra layer of security by requiring a witness to verify the signer's identity. A witness is a government-authorized person known as a notary public who attests that the signer is not signing under duress and that they are aware of the contents of the document they are signing.

Few example of documents that require legalization are:

• State generated documents
• Power of attorney
• Bylaws
• Birth, Death certifcates
• United States Patent & Trademark documents
• Good standing certificates
• Certified charter documents

Common documents that need authentication are:

• Birth, marriage, and divorce certificates
• Background checks
• Educational documents/ certificates
• Incorporation certificates for corporations
• Personal or Corporate legal documents

On average, it takes about 18 to 24 months to complete the naturalization process and to become a U.S. citizen.
