Apostille does not fix documents. It recognizes them.

This is one of the most misunderstood aspects of international documentation. If a document is incorrect, incomplete, or improperly notarized, an apostille will not make it valid.

An apostille certifies that the signature, seal, or public official on the document is authentic and recognized by the issuing authority. It does not review content, accuracy, or intent.

That is why apostille success starts before submission. The document must already be correct.

ENS reviews documents for readiness before they enter the apostille process, so clients are not paying for recognition of paperwork that cannot be accepted.
