    Tips and Warnings
    1. Apostille certificate only certifies the origin of the document or the person / authority whose signature / seal appears on the public document. It doesn’t certify the content of the said document.
    2. Apostille certificates only apply to public documents that will be used abroad. Authentication and the Apostille certificates will not be issued to documents that will only be used locally.
    3. If the country of your destination is one of the excluded countries or not a signatory to the Apostille Convention, you may need to go to that country’s Consular Office / Embassy and have your documents legalized / certified. For more information, please contact the Foreign Embassy or the intended recipient of your documents to see what options are available for you.
