Question

An Apostille is a certificate that provides authentication and is attached to a document for international use by countries that are a part of the Hague Convention.

A) True
B) False

Answer 1

True, an Apostille is a certificate used for the authentication of public documents for international use in countries that subscribe to the Hague Convention.

Step-by-step explanation:

An Apostille is indeed a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document (such as a birth certificate, a judgment, or a notarial attestation) and can be attached to the document for it to be used internationally. This is true for countries that are participants in the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, more commonly known as the Hague Apostille Convention. The convention simplifies the authentication process of documents to be used abroad, ensuring that a document issued in one signatory country will be accepted as legitimate in another signatory country without any further authentication.
