Apostille copies of documents from a foreign country must be obtained from that country. You should consult with that country’s embassy in the District of Columbia to obtain a proper apostille. However, if the foreign country is not a party to the Hague Convention, an apostille must be obtained from the United States Embassy located in that foreign country, with a proper English translation when necessary, certified by an appropriately authorized translator as designated by the United States Department of State or the United States Department of Justice.
