Young Americans studying abroad experience the world and begin to form networks that will enhance their prospects in the world’s marketplace and their potential as global problem-solvers.

Every institution and foreign country that participants in study abroad programs will provide a list of the required Apostilled documents for student visas and entry. Some examples may include:
• Birth Certificates
• Passport of student
• Passports of parents
• Financial Support Statements
• Acceptance Letters
• Medical Examination Certificates
• Educational Credentials such as
Diplomas and Transcripts
• Consent or Authorization to Travel

In most cases, you will be required to Apostille (according to the Hauge Convention of 1961) or legalize these documents for use in foreign countries. In both cases, you will need to notarize or certify prior to legalization. We can help.

In certain situations, you may also need these documents translated if the official language is not English of the destination country. We have ATA Certified Translators that can help to address your full document authentication needs.

We would love to be a part of this extremely rewarding and unique experience.

If so, then we can help!

On May 14, 2019, the Philippines joined the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents sent to the Philippines no longer require the red ribbon from the Philippines Embassy or Consulate offices. The apostille issued by the Secretary of State is all that is needed for the SPA to be accepted in the Philippines.

In order to apostille a document, it must first be notarized properly for use in a foreign country. We offer complimentary review of your documents to ensure they have been executed properly.
