Apostille Services in Chile
We apostille Chilean documents so they are valid in countries party to the Hague Convention.
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document — the signature and capacity of the official who issued it — so that it is valid in another country party to the 1961 Hague Convention. Chile has used this system since 2016, replacing the chain of legalizations for most destinations.
We identify which authority must apostille each document, prepare the application and, if the document is going to a country with another language, coordinate the certified translation in the right order: sometimes only the original is apostilled, sometimes the translation too.
If the destination country is not party to the Convention, an apostille will not work and a consular legalization is needed instead. We tell you when we quote.

A clear photo or scan of the document is enough for a quote. Tell us the country or institution where you will submit it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I apostille a foreign document in Chile?
No. A document is apostilled in the country that issued it. If you hold a foreign document, we can help you obtain the apostille in the issuing country and then translate it for Chile.
What if the country is not party to the Hague Convention?
Consular legalization is used instead: the document goes through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then the consulate of the destination country. We handle that too.
