Apostille

An Apostille is a French word meaning "certification". It is a device that many governments, both foreign and domestic, use to certify that a document is genuine.

In 1961 many nations joined to create a simplified method of "legalizing" documents for universal recognition. This group of nations is know as the Hague Convention.They adopted a document referred to as an Apostille that is internationally recognized by all member nations.

In the USA the Apostille Certificate can be obtained through the office of the Secretary of State in each of the 50 states. For countries outside of the USA the Apostille can be obtained thorough the office of the Foreign Ministry.

If you reside in a country that is not a member of the Hague Convention, you will first have to get your documents certified by the Foreign Ministry of your country and then submit them to the closest Consulate of El Salvador for legalization.
