Clearly state the purpose of your request for an apostille, and provide information about the document(s) that you are submitting. Include the type of document, such as a birth certificate or marriage certificate, and the issuing authority or country.
An apostille is issued by your Secretary of State's office or Notary commissioning agency. The single apostille is the only certification needed. Once prepared and verified, the apostille is attached to and sent along with the notarized documents. Notaries cannot issue apostilles themselves.
Documents such as vital records issued by a U.S. state will need an apostille from that state's secretary of state. Federal documents will need an apostille from the U.S. Department of State.
To process, the authorized representative has to bring the following: Signed authorization letter (SPA for minor document owners); Copy of valid government ID bearing document owner's signature; Representative's valid ID (photocopy and original).
Whereas a notary is an individual that verifies the legal validity of a document's signatures, an apostille is a document that guarantees the international legality of a document.
Appointment is not required for claiming apostilles that are filed in DFA Aseana. For documents forwarded by CHED with Authentication Stub, appointment is required to process for authentication.
