An apostille is a certificate confirming the origin of a public document (such as a birth, marriage, or death certificate, a judgment, an extract from a register, or a notarial certificate). Apostille can only be issued for documents issued in a country that is a party to the Apostille Convention. This will apply in another country that is also a party to the Convention.

The Philippines and the United States are parties to this Convention.

You can purchase the Philippines Apostille Service to use your United States-issued documents in the Philippines for the following reasons:

- The United States in which the document was issued is a party to the Apostille Convention

- The Philippines, the country in which the document will be used, is a Party to the Apostille Convention

- The US law considers the document to be a public document 

- The Philippines requires an apostille to recognize it as a foreign public document.

An apostille should never be used for the recognition of a document in the country in which the document was issued, apostilles are intended exclusively for the use of public documents abroad!
