### What is a Montserrat Apostille Stamp and why would I need one?
A Montserrat Apostille is a certificate that is affixed to a public document. It certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Montserrat and confirms the capacity of that official.
Montserrat Apostille stamps are often required when submitting a Montserrat document, such as a birth certificate, to the authorities of a foreign country or to a foreign embassy in Montserrat (for example, as part of a visa or citizenship application). Apostilles are recognised by the authorities and embassies of countries that are members of the [Hague Apostille Convention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention)

### What is document legalization in Montserrat?
Document legalization (or attestation) is a procedure which authenticates a public Montserrat document so that it can be submitted in another country for official or legal purposes - for example, if you need to submit a Montserrat birth certificate to the authority or embassy of another country, it will often need to be legalized.
Legalizing a document in Montserrat certifies the authenticity of the signature appearing on the document as that of an authorized public official in Montserrat and confirms the capacity of that official.
- Because Montserrat is a member of the Apostille Convention, Montserrat documents can be legalized by means of an Apostille Stamp when being submitted to countries that are also members of the [Hague Apostille Convention](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostille_Convention)
- If a Montserrat document is required for a country that is not a member of the Apostille Convention, it will need to be legalized both by Montserrat authorities and by the embassy of the recipient country (embassy in Montserrat or non-resident embassy accredited to Montserrat).
