## Free tools

- [Does my destination take an apostille?](https://apostilles.fyi/tools/apostille-or-legalization.md): Pick the receiving country and learn whether an apostille works there or the document needs consular legalization.
- [Document sequence checklist builder](https://apostilles.fyi/tools/document-steps.md): Answer three questions and get the steps in order: prepare, notarize if needed, apostille or legalize, translate.
- [Issuing-fee estimator](https://apostilles.fyi/tools/issuing-fee-estimator.md): Multiply an issuing office's stated per-document fee by your document count.

## Guides

- [Apostille or legalization: which one your document needs](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/apostille-vs-legalization.md): A Convention country takes one apostille; any other country needs the longer consular legalization chain through its embassy.
- [Apostilles for Canadian documents since 2024](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/canada-apostilles-since-2024.md): Since January 2024 Canada issues apostilles, from Global Affairs Canada or from the province that issued the document when that province is designated.
- [Apostilles for company documents](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/company-documents-apostille.md): Registry-issued company papers go straight to the issuing office, while board papers and resolutions need a notary first.
- [Electronic apostilles and online registers](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/e-apostille-and-registers.md): An e-apostille carries the same force as a paper one where the destination accepts it, and online registers let anyone check a paper apostille too.
- [Apostille for an FBI background check](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/fbi-background-check-apostille.md): An FBI check is a federal document, so only the State Department Office of Authentications can apostille it, never a state office.
- [Which documents need a notary before the apostille](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/notarize-before-apostille.md): Public records go straight to the issuing office, while private papers need a notary first because the apostille certifies the notary's seal.
- [Translating a document for use abroad](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/translating-after-apostille.md): Have the translation done after the apostille, by a translator the receiving office accepts, because requirements differ by destination.
- [Using a UK degree in the United Arab Emirates](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/uk-degree-uae.md): A UK degree for the Emirates needs the FCDO apostille first and UAE embassy legalization second, because the Emirates sit outside the Convention.
- [Using a US birth certificate in Spain](https://apostilles.fyi/guides/us-birth-certificate-spain.md): Order a certified copy from the state's vital records office, then get the apostille from that state's Secretary of State, because Spain takes apostilles.
