US Certificate of Incorporation Apostille in France

The apostille usually includes:

• Name and title of the issuing state official
• Seal/stamp of the state
• Unique apostille number and date of issuance
• Reference to the Hague Apostille Convention (1961)

If you are in France and you want to submit your US company’s certificate of incorporation in a non-Hague country, you need to follow a different method. For non Hague countries the secretary of the state issues an Authentication Certificate verifying the signature and seal on your corporate document. Instead of an apostille, this certificate is called a Certificate of Authentication. Then follow below steps to legalize COI for a non Hague country. 

• Submit the document to the U.S. Department of State – Office of Authentications in Washington, D.C and get a Federal Authentication Certificate. 
• Finally, the authenticated document must be legalized at the embassy or consulate of the destination country (located in the U.S.). For example, if it is submitted in the UAE, attestation should be obtained from the UAE embassy in the USA.
