Correct Answer
A. A Department of State authentication attached to a notarized and county-certified document for possible international use
Detailed Explanation
Apostile or apostille in the booklet refers to Department of State authentication for possible international use. In the booklet’s "Apostile" definition, it is attached to a notarized and county-certified document. Not to be confused with county-clerk authentication under Executive Law §133, the apostille is the higher-level Department of State authentication used when international use is contemplated.
