What Greenhouse Coordinates
Greenhouse identifies the proper U.S. competent authority, coordinates Virginia notarization where appropriate, obtains state or federal apostilles and manages tracking and return. Austrian Embassy guidance states that U.S. documents used with Austrian authorities require an apostille. For broader routing help, review our apostille and document authentication services.

Current Austria Processing Note
Austria and the United States both participate in the Hague Apostille Convention. The Austrian Embassy in Washington states that U.S. documents for Austrian official channels require an apostille; state documents are handled by the appropriate state authority, while qualifying federal documents use the federal route.
Why We Review First
Some notarized U.S. documents may require an intermediate county or clerk certification depending on the state before the state apostille can be issued. Greenhouse checks that preparation step first.
