FAQ 8

Q: Which Notary will authenticate papers that will be used in the U.S.?

A: Documents originating in the United States require for recognition in Colombia an Apostille (PDF 0 KB) issued by competent U.S. authorities. Likewise, documents originating in Colombia require for recognition in the U.S. an Apostille issued by the Colombian Ministry of Foreign Relations (Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores, Oficina de Legalizaciones, Transversal 17A # 98-45, Bogotá, D.C.). Documents legalized with the Ministry's Apostille need no authentication by U.S. Consular Officers.
