Eagleview Business Center provides apostille and authentication assistance. Apostilles and authentications for eligible Connecticut documents are issued by the Connecticut Secretary of the State, not by Eagleview Business Center.
Start with the destination country
The country where the document will be used helps determine whether an apostille or another authentication process is needed.
Document Authentication Help
Understand the process before submitting your documents.
An apostille is used for eligible public documents that will be presented in countries participating in the Hague Apostille Convention.
For documents going to countries outside the Hague system, a different authentication or legalization process may apply. We can help you organize the documents and understand the next steps.
How We Can Help
Support with the preparation and submission process.
The exact process depends on the document, where it was issued and the country where it will be used.
Notary Coordination
Some documents may need proper Connecticut notarization before they can be submitted for authentication.
Application Assistance
We can help you understand the Connecticut submission steps and organize the information needed for the request.
Translation Support
If the receiving organization requires English or Spanish translation, our document translation service may also help.
Documents Commonly Used Abroad
Different document types may require different preparation.
Examples of documents that may be submitted for apostille or authentication include:
- Birth, death and marriage records
- Notarized powers of attorney
- Academic transcripts and diplomas
- Business and corporate documents
- Court or probate documents
- Other eligible Connecticut public documents
Eligibility depends on who issued or signed the document and whether it meets Connecticut authentication requirements.
Connecticut Process
The issuing authority matters.
Connecticut generally authenticates documents signed by qualifying Connecticut public officials, including Connecticut notaries and certain state or local officials.
Federal documents and documents issued in another state normally must be handled by the appropriate federal authority or issuing state instead.
