I am about to move to France. I am a dual citizen of another EU country so I will be living there legally without a visa, but am planning on applying for French citizenship in a few years (between 2 and 5 depending on if I go to school there). My academic transcripts so far/birth certificate/background check would all be from the U.S. Ideally, I would like to get all of these documents apostilled prior to leaving the U.S. as it is much easier from here, but I understand the French prefer more recent apostilles. Would it be a waste to get the documents apostilled now, or has anyone had success in situations with apostilles that are 5+ years old? Thank you!
