Now, we are pleased to present copyofmypassport.com to concentrate on the procedures required to certify a copy of a US Passport for use abroad. The destination country splits the required type of authentication into two main certifications:

 1. Apostille Certificate for use in the Hague Convention Participating Countries.

 2. Embassy Certificate (Legalization) for use in non-Hague Convention Countries.
