Why the Philippines Requires an Apostille

The Philippines is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning U.S. documents must be certified with an apostille before being recognized by Philippine government agencies, courts, and private institutions. An apostille confirms the authenticity of a signature or notarization—eliminating the need for Philippine Embassy legalization.
