What is the Hague Apostille?
It is a certificate issued by a notary office that makes a document legally valid in another country.
It is required when the document will be presented abroad.
Practical example:
A birth certificate issued in Brazil needs a Hague Apostille to be valid in countries that are part of the Hague Convention.
A certified translation must also be apostilled.
