Are Apostilles Accepted in the Philippines?

Yes — the Philippines is part of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means documents with a U.S. apostille are officially recognized by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) and the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA).

Common apostilled documents include:

Birth certificates and marriage certificates
FBI background checks
Diplomas and academic transcripts
Corporate and legal documents

You can review the full U.S. Department of State Apostille Requirements or California Secretary of State Apostille Guidelines for reference.
