Apostille process for Argentina

For a foreign public document to be legally recognized in Argentina, it is necessary to go through a legalization process. This procedure depends on the country of origin of the document and can be carried out in two ways: by apostille or consular legalization. In the case of Argentina, which is part of the Hague Convention, the apostille is the most common and simplified method to legalize documents issued both in Argentina and in the member countries of the convention. If the country of origin is not a member of the convention, the procedure must be done through consular legalization, a more extensive procedure. Our apostille service for Argentine documents offers speed and security, guaranteeing the legal validity of your documents in other countries, such as Argentina and in more than 120 member countries of the Hague Convention.

All public documents issued in the United States and intended to be used in Argentina must have the apostille of the Secretary of State corresponding to the state where the document was issued. Public documents are considered to be those issued by an authority or official of the State.

What are the benefits of apostilling a document?

International Recognition: The apostille ensures that your document is recognized as legally valid in any of the over 120 countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This eliminates the need for further authentication or legalization processes in these countries.

Simplified Process: Apostilling simplifies the legalization process by reducing the steps involved. Instead of going through multiple layers of authentication, the apostille acts as a single certification, which is often faster and less costly.

Time Efficiency: Since the apostille is a streamlined process, it saves time, especially when compared to traditional consular legalization. This can be crucial for urgent matters like business transactions, legal proceedings, or academic admissions.

Greater acceptance: Apostilled documents are more readily accepted by foreign authorities, making it easier to conduct international business, pursue studies abroad or handle legal matters in other countries.

Legal protection: Apostilled documents offer legal protection, as they guarantee that the document is authentic and has been issued by a competent authority. This can be important in legal disputes or when dealing with official entities abroad.
