What Is a Alabama Apostille?

An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a Alabama public document so it is accepted in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Alabama apostilles are issued by the Alabama Secretary of State. Elite Documents prepares, reviews, and submits your documents on your behalf.
