Hague Convention Apostille: What It Is and Why It's Important

‍

The Hague Convention Apostille is a seal that attests to the authenticity of public documents issued in a country that is a signatory to the convention, so that they can be accepted in another country that is also a signatory. This seal is essential for documents such as a medical certificate and a criminal record certificate to be valid in Spain. To obtain it, you must present the original documents to an authorized registry office, which will verify and affix the apostille.
