How to get an apostille in West Virginia
- Check the destination. An apostille works only for countries in the Hague Apostille Convention. Other countries need authentication and embassy legalization instead.
- Get the document ready. Check what the office accepts before you send anything, including any certification it needs first.
- Submit it. Send the document to the office with the $10.00 fee and any request form it asks for.
