Get an apostille Chile

Here at Apostille Corp, we handle the authentication of U.S. documents for use in Chile. Chile is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, having deposited its instrument of accession on December 16, 2015, with the convention entering into force on August 30, 2016. This allows U.S. documents to be legalized for use in Chile through the apostille process, eliminating the need for embassy legalization.

Our team focuses exclusively on documents issued in the United States, helping individuals and businesses obtain an apostille for Chile efficiently and accurately.

When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Chile

U.S. citizens often need their documents for travel, work, study, or legal purposes in Chile. The type of document required depends on the activity you are undertaking.

For Tourism (up to 90 days)

U.S. citizens traveling to Chile for tourism do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days. However, a valid U.S. passport is mandatory for entry and must remain valid throughout your stay. Travelers may be asked to show proof of onward travel or necessary health documents, such as vaccination records.

For Work, Study, or Official Travel

If you plan to work, study, or travel on official business in Chile, you must obtain a visa in advance from a Chilean Embassy or Consulate in the U.S. Your U.S. passport must remain valid for the entire duration of your stay. Damaged or mutilated passports cannot be used for entry, and travelers with official or diplomatic passports should carry a tourist passport for personal trips.

For Legal and Official Matters

Many U.S. citizens and businesses need to use official documents in Chile. These can include birth or marriage certificates, academic diplomas, corporate records, power of attorney forms, and background checks. Since Chile accepts apostilles, these documents must receive an apostille to be recognized by Chilean authorities. The apostille process ensures that your U.S. documents are authentic and valid for official use.
