Oftentimes, Apostilles are needed for business transactions but it is becoming more common for property dealings and to settle the estate of a deceased person with assets overseas. Some of the most common documents requiring legalization with an Apostille certificate are Power of Attorney, Passports, Transcripts, Diplomas, FBI Background Checks, Birth, Marriage and Death Certificates. The requirement of an Apostille protects you, as a Notary Public will verify you as the signer, which both deters fraud and the potential risk of being defrauded.
The simple answer is no! An apostille does not have an expiration date. The country requesting your documents may set a time limit on how old the document and apostille can be. Before sending in your documents, be sure to check with the person requesting it to make sure they will accept your documents once the apostille is attached.
