When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Belize

The Hague Apostille Convention of October 5, 1961, created to simplify international document recognition, took effect in Belize after the country deposited its accession on July 17, 1992. Since that date, public documents issued in the United States can be accepted for use in Belize once they receive a U.S. apostille, replacing the older and more complicated consular legalization process.

The Registrar General’s Department, under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is the competent authority for issuing apostilles in Belize. Because Belize recognizes apostilles under this international agreement, U.S. documents such as vital records, academic transcripts, court decisions, and notarized certificates are usually accepted after apostillation in the United States.

U.S. documents are commonly required in Belize for immigration, higher education, marriage registration, adoption, property transactions, business formation, and various legal or professional purposes. It is advisable to confirm with the receiving institution in Belize if additional actions, such as certified translations or local filing, are needed before submission.
