Country List Hague 
Español
From Yangon’s riverfront to project sites across the country, Myanmar draws U.S. NGOs, investors, teachers, and families who rely on documents that local authorities can trust. Visa files, employment packages, school admissions, and commercial agreements all depend on U.S. records that carry the proper stamps before reaching ministries or banks in Myanmar.
Because Myanmar is not part of the Hague Apostille system, U.S. documents follow a full authentication and consular legalization process instead of a single apostille certificate.
When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Myanmar
Myanmar, also referred to as Burma, is not a member of the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. As a result, a Hague apostille issued in the United States is not sufficient for documents that will be used in Myanmar, and consular legalization from the Myanmar Embassy or consulate remains mandatory.
First, state and local records are authenticated by the Secretary of State in the state where the notary, court, or public official is commissioned. On the other hand, some documents may need additional county or treasury steps before reaching that office. Second, the U.S. Department of State Office of Authentications examines the underlying signature and seal and issues a federal authentication certificate.
Third, the documents are submitted to the Embassy or consulate of Myanmar, which legalizes the U.S. authentication so ministries, universities, banks, and other institutions in Myanmar can accept them.
