Very few of you will know what this is. Those of you who are lawyers will know very well. But apparently I need one which may or may not be painful but will certainly cost some money.<\/p>\n
We all know about document verification of whatever sort be they official to Government or business (or both) but what happens when you need to verify a document issued in one country to officials of another country? \u00a0Enter the Hague Convention.<\/p>\n
The Hague Convention, among other things, lays down the details of what constitutes a lawyer (or in this case) the specifics of a notary. All nations signed up the Hague Convention now know what a notary is for legal purposes. Sending a document abroad for whatever reason requires it to be notarized and an Apostille is a single page document issued by a Government Office in your country which states that the signature on the document verifying it to be a true document is actually a registered notary.<\/p>\n
And with that ladies and gentlemen Amazon can pay me all my royalties and only deduct 0.5% instead of 30% because I have proven I am not a US citizen and only subject to tax as laid down in Treaty agreements between the UK and USA.<\/p>\n
