Why You May Need an Apostille for Connecticut Documents
An apostille is required when a Connecticut-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, Connecticut issues an authentication instead.
​
Common reasons Connecticut documents may need an apostille include dual citizenship, visa applications, studying abroad, marriage abroad, international business, adoption, and foreign legal requirements.
