Is a method of certifying a document for use in another country pursuant to the 1961 Hague Convention. With this certification by apostille, a document is entitled to recognition in the country of intended use, and no additional certification or legalization by the embassy or consulate of the foreign country where the document is to be used is required. An apostillized copy of the articles of incorporation or articles of organization is often required to open a bank account in another country for a US-incorporated business. Note, certain countries require a certified copy of the articles of incorporation/organization with an appropriate seal instead of an apostillized copy.
With certification by apostille or gold seal, your articles of incorporation or organization are entitled to recognition in the country of intended use. Either an apostille or certified copy with gold seal (dependent on the country of intended use) is included. But can also be purchased as a stand-alone product.. Please note, if an apostille or certified copy with gold seal is ordered after the formation of the corporation or LLC is complete, some states impose additional costs to generate this document.
