Hague Country vs. Non-Hague Country refers to several countries that agreed upon a uniformly acceptable way of processing documents for authentication purposes during one a number of Hague Conventions. The Countries that agreed to the process are referred to as Hague Countries, while those who did not agree or were not part of this convention are referred to as Non-Hague Countries. A list of Hague countries can be found here. Any country that is not on this list is a Non-Hague Country.
This is important because it determines the process and timeframe for processing your document. For country that are part of the Hague Convention, the document only needs to be processed from the place or origin. For example, a birth certificate originates from the state, so it would only need to be apostilled at the state.
However, for documents that will be used in Countries that are not part of Hague Convention, the document will need to be processed at the point origin, then the US Department of State, and finally at the Embassy. This process is called an Authentication or Legalization. For Example, a marriage certificate originates at the state level, so it will need to authenticated at the state, then US Department of State, and finally at the Embassy.
A list of Hague Countries can be found here. Any country not listed is considered a Non-Hague.
No. While a notarization may be required as part of the Apostille process, it is not part of the same as a notarization. Notarization can be completed by a notary. While Apostilles require additional verification by a state, federal and/or Embassy.
