Apostille certified copy of communication.
An Apostille is a form of authentication issued to documents for use in countries that participate in the Hague Convention of 1961. Essentially, an Apostille is a special seal applied by an authority to certify that a document is a true copy of an original. It's often used for documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, degrees, and court orders when they are being submitted to authorities in a foreign country that recognizes the Apostille.
The purpose of the Apostille is to eliminate the need for double-certification, first by the originating country and then by the foreign country where the document is to be used. With an Apostille, the document is considered fully authenticated in the country of origin and will be accepted as such by any country that is a member of the Hague Convention.
