Do you need a Hague apostille for France?
Both France and the United States are members of the Apostille Convention. This means that any document issued in the U.S. and intended for France must be legalized by a Hague apostille. An apostille is an international stamp that will make your U.S. document valid in France. No consulate or embassy legalization is required.
