Is an Apostille Accepted in the Philippines?

Yes — the Philippines is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. That means documents authenticated with a U.S. apostille are legally recognized by Philippine authorities, including the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) and the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).

Typical requests include birth certificates, marriage certificates, FBI background checks, educational diplomas, and corporate documents.

You can confirm official requirements with the California Secretary of State Apostille Services or the U.S. Department of State – Apostille Requirements.
