The Arizona Apostle (Convention de La Have, 5 October 1961) is a document attestation process that is used to verify the authenticity of documents for use in foreign countries. This process is mandated by the Convention de La Have, which was signed on October 5, 1961. The Arizona Apostle is used to authenticate documents such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, and academic degrees for use in international transactions. The Arizona Apostle is issued by the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, and it contains an authentication seal, the signature of the Arizona Secretary of State, and the date of issuance. The Arizona Apostle is accepted by many foreign countries, and it is a widely recognized form of authentication for international transactions. There are two types of Arizona Apostle: the Apostle Certificate, and the Authentication Certificate. The Apostle Certificate is used to attest to the authenticity of documents for use in a foreign country that is a signatory to the Convention de La Have. The Authentication Certificate is used to attest to the authenticity of documents for use in countries that are not signatories to the Convention de La Have.
