Iceland has been a member of the Hague Convention since 2003. As a participating country, it recognizes apostilled documents from other member states without additional embassy legalization.
An apostille is a certification that confirms the authenticity of U.S. documents for use in Iceland and other Hague Convention countries. When U.S. citizens need to present official papers such as birth certificates, marriage licenses, academic transcripts, or background checks for visas, studies, or legal matters in Iceland, an apostille is required.
Apostille Corp makes this process simple by managing your paperwork carefully. Our team prepares your documents correctly so they are accepted in Iceland without delays.
When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Iceland
U.S. documents are commonly required in Iceland for visa applications, residency, employment, or educational purposes. The documentation depends on your length of stay and the nature of your visit.
For short visits (tourism or business under 90 days):
- A valid U.S. passport is required, according to travel information from the U.S. Department of State.
- Beginning in 2025, travelers will also need an ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorization System) approval before entering Iceland.
For long stays (over 90 days), work, or study:
- A Schengen visa application with completed forms.
- Proof of financial stability such as recent U.S. bank statements or tax returns.
- Proof of employment or enrollment in an educational program.
- Round-trip flight reservations and confirmed accommodation.
- Travel medical insurance.
For legal or official purposes:
- Apostilled U.S. documents may be required, such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, death certificates, or criminal background checks.
- In some cases, supporting documents like sponsorship letters or copies of a sponsor’s ID may also be requested, especially for family or friend visits.
- Corporate documents, contracts, notarial documents, passports, affidavits, social security letters
Working with Apostille Corp gives you confidence that all U.S. documents meet Iceland’s official requirements and are properly authenticated.
Get an Apostille for Iceland
Getting an apostille for Iceland involves sending your U.S. documents through the proper state or federal office for authentication.
Each type of document has its own channel. For example, a state-issued birth certificate must be processed in the state where it was issued, while federal documents are handled in Washington, D.C. The rules can be confusing, and a single mistake may lead to rejection or costly delays.
This is where we step in. Apostille Corp manages the entire process for you. You send us your documents, and we return them with the apostille attached, ready for use in Iceland. We track your order, communicate clearly, and work quickly so that your paperwork never slows down your plans.
