THE HAGUE APOSTILLE
The Apostille Convention is a simplified method for the validation of documents in order to verify the authenticity in the international arena. Physically consists of a sheet that is added (attached to reverse or on an additional page) documents the competent authority stamp on a copy of the public document. It was introduced as an alternative method for the Hague Convention dated October 5, 1961.
In some countries, like Spain, the apostille can be obtained electronically (e-app), replacing the handwritten signature of public documents annotated by a valid certificate or electronic signature in accordance with international standards.
In these cases usually there is an electronic register of Apostilles (e-register), which replaces the traditional manual file of apostilles for an electronic record of contrast that allows timely monitoring of endnotes actually issued.
