Can I add a page to a document already apostilled?
JANUARY 19, 2017
I need to add a page to a document that has already been apostilled... I noticed a mistake in my power of attorney that has already been authenticated, can I replace just one page?... Can I remove the apostille from my document, add the page and re-attach the apostille?
The answer is NO. Do not remove the apostille once it's attached. Removal invalidates the apostille. This is true about apostilles in all U.S. states and apostilles issued by the U.S. State Department in Washington DC.
Beware of apostille companies who tell you that they have "spare apostilles" and can attach one to your document while you wait.
