In 1994, Mexico signed and ratified the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. The purpose of this Convention is to simplify the processes required for a particular country to recognize the official documents issued by another country, by means of apostille certification.
Public documents and certificates that are issued in one of the countries that are signatories to the above Convention, and which bear the apostille stamp, are valid for presentation in Mexico, without the need for additional verification/certification by the diplomatic/consular representative at the Embassy of Mexico.
We obtain apostilles for use in Mexico from all U.S. States.
Please select the state where your document was issued, signed, certified, or notarized
Important! Your document has to be apostilled in the state where it was issued (certified, notarized), e.g. if you were born in California, your birth certificate has to be apostilled in California, your power of attorney notarized by a Maine notary public will need a Maine apostille, etc.
EXAMPLE 1:
Mike was born in New York and needs to submit a legal copy of his birth certificate to the local authorities in Mexico. He has already obtained a certified copy of his birth certificate from the appropriate office in New York. Now he needs to obtain an apostille from the Secretary of State of New York, and his document will be valid and legal in Mexico. Read more about New York apostilles...
