Paraguay Apostille Services

Paraguay applied the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. Paraguay deposited its instrument of accession on 10 December 2013, and the Convention entered into force for Paraguay on 30 August 2014, alongside the launch of Paraguay’s e Register of Apostilles under the HCCH e APP.

Paraguay’s competent authority is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Directorate General of Consular Affairs, which operates the Apostille Coordination and Legalizations office for domestic issuance. For U.S.-originated documents, the apostille must be issued in the United States by the competent state authority, or via the federal Office of Authentications where applicable, before presentation in Paraguay.

U.S. documents are often required in Paraguay for a variety of purposes. A birth certificate, marriage certificate, or divorce decree may be needed for residency, family law, or immigration filings. Diplomas, transcripts, professional licenses, or degree verifications may be required for university enrollment or professional certification.

Business records, including articles of incorporation, contracts, board resolutions, and certificates of good standing, are necessary for corporate registration, trade, or investment. Notarized affidavits, powers of attorney, and court documents may also appear in legal or financial filings.
