Apostille for Panama

Apostille for Panama – What You Need to Know
To use a U.S. document in Panama, it must be certified with an Apostille. Panama is a member of the Hague Convention, which means it recognizes the Apostille as the official method for legalizing foreign documents.
An Apostille certifies the authenticity of a state notary’s or county official’s signature on your document. Once apostilled, your document is legally valid for use in Panama—no need for additional legalization through the Panamanian Embassy or Consulate.
Common U.S. Documents Apostilled for Use in Panama:
-
Birth Certificates
-
Marriage Certificates
-
Divorce Decrees
-
Diplomas and Transcripts
-
Power of Attorney
-
Single Status Affidavits

For countries that are not part of the Hague Convention, a different process called Authentication is used. But for Panama, the Apostille is all that’s needed.
