The purpose of an Apostille is to authenticate a document for use in a foreign country. An Apostille is a special certification that verifies the authenticity of a document, such as birth certificates, court documents, or notarized documents, for acceptance in another country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention. This process simplifies the legalization of documents across different jurisdictions by eliminating the need for further certification or embassy legalization. The other options are incorrect because an Apostille does not certify a Notary's appointment validity (Option A), provide legal advice to the Notary (Option C), or waive notarization requirements (Option D).
