What Is a Indiana Apostille?
A Indiana apostille is a certificate issued by the Indiana Secretary of State that confirms the signature, official capacity, and seal on a Indiana public document. Countries that belong to the Hague Apostille Convention accept the document without further embassy legalization. An apostille is valid only for use outside the United States.
