How to get an apostille in Maryland

1. Check the destination. An apostille works only for countries in the Hague Apostille Convention. Other countries need authentication and embassy legalization instead.
2. Get the document ready. Check what the office accepts before you send anything, including any certification it needs first.
3. Submit it. Send the document to the office with the $5.00 fee and any request form it asks for.
