List of countries that accept apostille in 2025

Updated: December 24, 2024

Before apostille your documents, make sure to validate that the country in which they will be presented is part of the Hague Convention:

If the country to which you are directing your documents IS NOT PART of the Convention, that is, it is not in the previous list, the correct process is the Legalization.

NOTE THAT

• The Ministry of Foreign Relations only adds documents issued by Colombian authorities. Therefore, documents issued in another country are not apostilled in Colombia.
• The documents to be apostilled must be original, with the signature of the competent authority previously registered with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
• A document that has been apostilled does not require subsequent procedures or legalizations to be valid in any of the countries that are parties to the Hague Convention.
• If the country to which the document is to be presented requires it, the translation of the original apostilled document is also apostilled. But this is determined by each entity, so we always recommend you validate if this procedure is mandatory for your particular situation.

Remember that the document apostille process can be done without intermediaries, 24 hours a day (every day of the week). To do it you just have to visit the apostille procedure and legalization section online of the Chancellery.

Once you have apostilled your documents you can request a official translation quote.
