Apostille Specimen Signature Card {AO 391}

AO 391 (Rev. 5/81), APOSTILLE SPECIMEN SIGNATURE CARD. This form is used by individuals who are authorized to sign documents on behalf of a government agency or public official. The purpose of the form is to provide a specimen signature of the authorized person, which will be used to authenticate documents with an apostille. An apostille is a certificate issued by a designated authority in a country that is party to the Hague Convention, which certifies the authenticity of a public document for use in another country. The apostille is attached to the public document and verifies the signature, capacity, and seal of the person who signed the document. The AO 391 form is completed by the authorized person and includes their name, title, agency or organization, contact information, and specimen signature. The completed form is submitted to the relevant authority in the country where the document was issued, along with the document to be apostilled. The use of an apostille can simplify the process of using public documents in another country by removing the need for further authentication or legalization of the document. www.FormsWorkflow.com
