Is an Apostille Accepted in the Philippines?

Yes. The Philippines is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means U.S. documents with a valid apostille certification are officially recognized by Philippine authorities.

This applies to:

Birth certificates
Marriage certificates
FBI background checks
School diplomas and transcripts
Corporate or legal documents

You can verify official guidelines through the U.S. Department of State – Apostille Requirements or the California Secretary of State – Apostille Services.
