The goal of authenticating documents is to show other countries that documents you present without any interaction or involvement from that other country were drawn up properly, have all of details to make it legitimate, and are authentic. This eliminates the need for you to get legal copies of the documents in the United States and then spend extra time in the other country having those documents legalized.
