Apostille
An international certification that authenticates a public document for use in another country.
What it means
An apostille is a certificate issued under the Hague Apostille Convention that authenticates the origin of a public document so it can be recognized in another member country. In regulatory submissions, apostilled documents often include powers of attorney, corporate authorizations, and certificates of good standing. These documents typically require a sworn or certified translation into the local language.
Why it matters for LATAM submissions
Apostilled documents are common in multi-country LATAM filings. If the apostille or its translation is incorrect, the entire submission can be rejected before technical review.
