Apostille Your US Documents for Spain The Easy Way

Spain is a Hague Convention member, so the expats living in Spain only need to get their American documents apostilled, instead of doing the authentication and legalization process.

The exact process to apostille your U.S. documents depends on the document type. You will need to contact your respective Secretary of State for documents such as U.S. birth certificates, marriage certificates, and divorce certificates.

On the other hand, you can simply submit a request to the U.S. Secretary of State’s Office of Authentications to get an apostille on documents such as FBI background checks.

After receiving an apostille on your U.S. documents, you can use them anywhere in Spain without the need for Spanish embassy legalization.
