Philippines
Apostille Legalization Services
However, if your documents are being used in a country that is not part of the Hague Convention—but originated in the Philippines (e.g., Philippine-issued birth certificates, diplomas, or legal papers)—those documents will require legalization through the Embassy or Consulate of the receiving country.
We offer two specialized services related to the Philippines:
1. For U.S. Documents Going to the Philippines:
-
Most can be apostilled via the Secretary of State where the document was issued.
-
We help you determine eligibility and guide the process.
2. For Philippine Documents Going to Non-Hague Countries:
-
We assist with:
-
Certification from the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).
-
Legalization by the foreign embassy or consulate in the Philippines.
-
Documents commonly handled:
-
Academic documents: diplomas, transcripts.
-
Legal documents: birth certificates, marriage licenses, police clearances.
-
Commercial documents: certificates of incorporation, commercial contracts.
The Philippines became a member of the Hague Apostille Convention in 2019, which means most U.S.-issued documents intended for use in the Philippines can now be apostilled and no longer require embassy legalization.
Our Philippines Document Legalization Services include:
-
Apostille facilitation (for documents to the Philippines).
-
DFA authentication and embassy legalization (for documents from the Philippines to non-Hague countries).
-
Consultation on cross-border document requirements.
-
Expedited service and real-time tracking.
No matter the direction of your document—to or from the Philippines—we ensure it is fully compliant with the destination country’s requirements.
