An Apostille is a certificate that authenticates the signature of a public official on a document for use in another country. An Apostille certifies:
 the authenticity of the signature of the public official who signed the document,
 the capacity in which that public official acted, and
 When appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears, e.g. a notary public seal.
The Apostille does not validate the contents of the document.
