Why Authenticate Your Birth Certificate?
A certified birth certificate works for just about any purpose within the borders of the United States. But if you need a birth certificate because you are getting married overseas or have some other legal business in another country, you will need something more, a certificate of authentication or an apostllle.

The U.S. Department of State issues both of these documents. Whether you need an Authentication Certificate or an apostllle depends on the country in which the document will be used. You’ll need an Authentication Certificate for a birth certificate you intend to use in countries that are not parties to the Hague Apostllle Convention. On the other hand, you’ll need an Apostllle Certificate for use in countries that are parties to the Hague Apostllle Convention.
