Hague Non-Participating Countries: What’s Next?
First, please don't panic. We will assist you and do it for you. BUT...
UPDATE: Per the US State Department on December 23, 2025 - they will process your request in five (5) weeks from the date they receive it via mail. Walk-in/Drop-off will process in seven (7) to 10 business days. Make an appointment if traveling in less than 2 weeks and it is a life-or-death emergency only, processing is same day as your appointment.
The Office of Authentications provides signed certificates of authenticity for a variety of documents to individuals, institutions, and government agencies to be used abroad. The country in which the document will be used determines the type of certificate needed.
- An apostille is for documents to be used in countries that participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty.
- Authentication certificates are for documents to be used in countries that do not participate in the 1961 Hague Convention Treaty.
Once a document is authenticated, it must be certified by the foreign jurisdiction to be valid there. This process, called legalization, usually occurs at the country's embassy or consulate, and can be considered the final step in the authentication process.
Patience is key during this process (each embassy varies); and each embassy has its own procedures, requirements, fees, and hours of operation.
