Apostille Services in Guatemala
We handle apostille services for Guatemalan documents intended for use abroad, with personalized assistance and a clear process from start to finish.
What Our Apostille Service Includes
An apostille authenticates the origin of a Guatemalan public document for use in another country that is party to the Hague Apostille Convention. It certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signed, and, where applicable, the seal or stamp on the document. It does not certify the document’s content.
We handle the apostille process for Guatemalan documents through Guatemala’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. When necessary, we can also arrange preliminary notarial services performed by a Guatemalan attorney and notary, such as notarized copies of Guatemalan identification cards (DPI) or passports.
Based on the document and the requested service, we will provide a quote detailing the cost, estimated processing time, and services included. Clients are responsible for confirming with the receiving institution which documents and services are required.

Does an apostille include a translation of my document?
No. An apostille and a translation are separate services. If the receiving institution requires the document in another language, you may also need a sworn or certified translation. We can quote and coordinate both services.
Where can an apostille issued in Guatemala be used?
An apostille issued in Guatemala can be used in other countries that are parties to the Hague Apostille Convention.

Clients are responsible for confirming the requirements directly with the receiving institution.

The receiving institution may reject the document or ask you to obtain an apostille before continuing with your application or procedure. Confirm this requirement directly with the institution before submitting your document.

A 50% deposit is required to begin the process. The remaining balance must be paid before digital delivery or physical shipment.
