Maryland apostille for Niue
Need a Maryland document accepted in Niue? Niue is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so one apostille from the Maryland Secretary of State is all it needs. No embassy visit, no consular legalization.
What Niue requires
Niue has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since March 2, 1999, so its courts, ministries, universities and registries are used to receiving US documents with an apostille.
The official languages of Niue are Niuean and English. If your document is in English, the office that receives it may ask for a certified translation. Translations are usually done after the apostille is attached, and some offices want the apostille translated too. Ask the receiving office what it requires.
The apostille confirms that the signature and seal on your document are genuine. It does not change what the document says, and the office in Niue decides whether the document itself meets its rules, for example how recently it was issued.
