Apostille for the Philippines
Apostille for the Philippines – What You Need to Know
If you need to use a U.S. document in the Philippines, it must be certified with an Apostille. The Philippines is a member of the Hague Convention, which means it accepts the Apostille as the official method for legalizing documents for international use.
An Apostille certifies the authenticity of a state notary’s or county official’s signature. Once apostilled, your U.S. document is legally valid for use in the Philippines without requiring any further legalization from the Philippine Embassy or Consulate.
Common U.S. Documents Apostilled for Use in the Philippines:
-
Birth Certificates
-
Marriage Certificates
-
Divorce Decrees
-
Academic Diplomas and Transcripts
-
Power of Attorney
-
Single Status Declarations
- FBI Background Checks
- IRS Form 6166 Apostille
- U.S Department of Justice
-
Adoption Documents
-
Corporate and Business Documents
-
Wills and Legal Affidavits
If your destination country were not a member of the Hague Convention, you’d need a more complex authentication process. But for the Philippines, the Apostille alone is sufficient.
