[The term aspotille] is commonly used in English to refer to the legalization of a document for international use under the terms of the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. Documents which have been notarized by a notary public, and certain other documents, and then certified with a conformant apostille are accepted for legal use in all the nations that have signed the Hague Convention. 3, record 1, English, - apostille

L'apostille est la formule prévue par la Convention de La Haye du 5 octobre 1961, pour tenir lieu de légalisation d'un acte public. Elle se substitue à la double légalisation obligatoire lorsque les deux États ont ratifié cette convention internationale. Elle s'obtient auprès de la cour d'appel où ont été établis les documents du domicile des requérants. 1, record 1, French, - apostille

La apostilla de La Haya (o simplemente apostilla) es un método simplificado de legalización de documentos a efectos de verificar su autenticidad en el ámbito internacional. Físicamente puede consistir en una hoja que se agrega a los documentos o en un sello especial que la autoridad competente estampa sobre una copia del original expedido por algún organismo oficial nacional. Esta certificación proviene del Convenio de La Haya del 5 de octubre de 1961, para la Abolición del Requisito de la Legalización para los Documentos Públicos Extranjeros. La apostilla sólo presenta validez entre los países firmantes de este tratado, por lo que si el país donde se necesita utilizar el documento no pertenece a él, entonces será necesaria la legalización diplomática. 2, record 1, Spanish, - apostilla
