Specializing in Birth Certificates for Dual Citizenship

---

The apostille process for birth certificates involves several steps to make the document legally valid in countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention:

1. Obtain a certified copy of the birth certificate from the issuing authority (typically the vital records office).
2. Notarization (if required): Some states require the document to be notarized.
3. Submit to Our Office for the apostille certification.
4. The apostille verifies the document for international use in Hague member countries.

Once processed, the document is ready for legal use abroad.

You need an apostilled birth certificate for dual citizenship to prove your identity and place of birth to a foreign government. The apostille verifies that the birth certificate is an official, legitimate document recognized internationally under the Hague Apostille Convention. This is important when applying for citizenship, passports, or other legal matters in a foreign country, ensuring that your birth certificate is accepted without needing additional authentication or legalization steps.
