What Is an Apostille for a Certificate of Good Standing?
An apostille is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of a public document so it can be used in another country that is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention.
If your Certificate of Good Standing is being submitted in a Hague Convention country, the document usually requires an apostille from the Secretary of State in the state where the certificate was issued.
If the destination country is not part of the Hague Convention, the document may require authentication and embassy legalization instead of an apostille.

Important Note About State-Issued Documents
A Certificate of Good Standing is usually apostilled by the Secretary of State in the same state that issued the document. Each state has its own rules, fees, and processing times. Some states issue the certificate online, while others may require certified originals or state verification before the apostille can be issued.
Our team helps you understand the specific requirements for your state.
Apostille vs. Authentication
If your Certificate of Good Standing is going to a country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, an apostille is usually sufficient.
If the country is not part of the Hague Convention, your document may need:
- state authentication
- U.S. Department of State authentication
- embassy or consulate legalization
We can help determine the correct process for your destination country.
