You need an apostille stamp on your documents to get them officially recognized in Malta. The Globeia portal makes it possible for you to complete your application from Malta and submit any required details on one platform. We also offer a direct customer support option so that you can get a prompt response to your queries about any of the steps.

Begin by signing up for an account on the portal and selecting your required services. You can choose multiple services from FBI check, FBI apostille, or US apostille. The next step is to choose the country where you intend to use your documents. Specifying the country of use is important because this information is required on the DS-4194 form used by the United States Department of State.

After adding your details, you will be able to mail your documents to our San Francisco office for apostille certification. A Globeia representative will also review your application before you pay your fee so that we can fix any mistakes that can cause delays in getting your documents apostilled and sent to you in Malta. The US DOS does not handle all apostille requests within the US. Public record documents are apostilled by their state of issuance. Scroll below to get a breakdown of these two US document apostille types.

US DOS Apostille on Your Documents

Required for documents issued by federal agencies like the FBI, Social Security Administration, or the IRS.
The DS-4194 form is used by the Department of State’s Office of Authentications.
Globeia can get your federal documents apostilled within 6-8 weeks as compared to the normal processing time of 3-4 months.

State-based Apostille on Your Documents

Required for personal documents like birth certificates, marriage certificates, diplomas, and power of attorney documents.
Issued by the Secretary of State office in the state where your document was issued.
Each State has its specific application process and fees. For example, Texas uses Form #2102 for document apostille.
We will help you determine what type of forms and details you need to complete in order to get your state-issued documents apostilled for use in Malta.

In the case of your US documents, this would be the US DOS or the Secretary of State's office in the state where your document was issued.

Is Malta a part of the Hague Convention?

Yes, Malta joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 1967. This means that you can get your US documents apostilled for use in Malta, eliminating the need for additional legalization procedures like consular legalization or secondary legalization.
