Country List Hague 
Español
For many, Vanuatu means turquoise water, investment programs, and offshore structures, but behind every plan sits a stack of paperwork that must be trusted by officials in Port Vila and beyond. Residency files, banking packages, trust and company documents, and family records all need the right certification before Vanuatu institutions will accept them.
Apostille Corp turns those U.S. records into documents that speak the same legal language as Vanuatu’s authorities, so your plans can move from idea to action.
When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Vanuatu
Vanuatu is a party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961 Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. On 1 August 2008, Vanuatu deposited its instrument of accession to the Convention, which brought it fully into the Apostille system for participating countries, including the United States. From that point, U.S. documents for use in Vanuatu follow the apostille route rather than traditional consular legalization between the two states.
Under this treaty framework, a U.S. public document destined for Vanuatu must bear a Hague apostille issued by the competent U.S. authority, such as a state Secretary of State or the U.S. Department of State, to be treated as authentic in Vanuatu.
Once the apostille is attached, Vanuatu authorities may accept the document without additional consular stamps, which is particularly important for citizenship‑by‑investment files, bank compliance reviews, and company registrations in the islands. Vanuatu’s participation in the Convention allows U.S. citizens and companies to use standardized apostilles for a wide range of transactions in finance, immigration, and corporate work.
