An apostille is a certification that an official document, such as a certified copy of a company’s Articles of Incorporation, is genuine. Apostilles can be obtained through a secretary of state. Typically apostilles are not necessary for domestic transactions, however, if you are trying to do business abroad in a different country, you will likely be required to obtain an apostille for your documents.
