Why You May Need an Apostille for Alaska Documents

An apostille is required when an Alaska-issued document will be used in a country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. It confirms the document’s authenticity so it can be legally recognized abroad. If the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, Alaska issues a Certificate of Authority instead.

​

Common reasons Alaska documents may need an apostille include dual citizenship, visa applications, studying abroad, marriage abroad, international business, adoption, and foreign legal requirements.
