Whether your document needs an apostille or a different authentication process depends largely on the country where the document will be used.
Countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention generally accept an apostille for eligible public documents. Countries that are not part of the Convention may require a different process, which can include authentication and legalization through additional government authorities or the destination country’s embassy or consulate.
Use the lists below to find your destination country and learn more about the process for Wisconsin documents, available services, translation considerations, and country-specific requirements.
