When Do You Need an Apostille in Texas?

You need a Texas apostille when you present a document issued, notarized, or certified in Texas to a foreign entity. The apostille confirms the public record's origin or the official's signature, guaranteeing international acceptance.

Common use cases include:

  • International business registration

  • Overseas contracts or agreements

  • Export documentation

  • Foreign bank or buyer requirements

  • Power of attorney for use abroad

  • Corporate record submission

  • International employment or immigration

  • Education, adoption, or personal records

The Texas Secretary of State issues a universal apostille certificate, and the official request form requires you to identify the specific destination country.
