Frequently Asked Questions
What is an apostille?
An apostille is a specialized certificate issued by a designated government authority that authenticates the origin of a public document. It verifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity of the person signing, and the identity of any seal or stamp on the document.
Does Antigua and Barbuda accept foreign apostilles?
Yes. Because Antigua and Barbuda is a signatory to the Hague Convention of October 5, 1961, any public document bearing an apostille from another member state is legally recognized without requiring further legalization from an embassy or consulate.
How long does the apostille process take?
Processing times depend entirely on the document's state of origin and the level of government authentication required (state vs. federal). Standard processing can take anywhere from a few business days to a few weeks. We offer expedited services for urgent deadlines.
