Oman Joins the Hague Apostille Convention

By

OmanCitizens of several countries planning to move to Oman will see a change in document certification regulations.

These changes are a result of Oman joining the Hague Apostille Convention in late January.  Under the convention, official documents issued in Oman can now be certified, or apostilled, for legal use in all other participating countries.

This news benefits the large South Asian expatriate community in Oman that is now able to use Indian documents more easily.

Those planning to come to Oman on work visas should expect changes in document attestation, according to the Indian Embassy.

Apostille (Apostilla), Visas, and Relocating to Mexico

By

Mexican flagIf you are relocating to Mexico, you will have to obtain a visa, which means that you will have to submit a lot of paperwork.  Each visa is company and position specific, and be sure to apply as far in advance as possible, since it can take months to apply for a visa.

However, having your visa approved is not the end of the paperwork. Whether you need to renew your visa, rent a house, or buy a car, you will be asked to produce various documents, such as your birth certificate, marriage certificate, and passport.  For this reason, it would be a good idea to have all of your official documents certified with an apostille (apostilla), translated, and notarized before you leave the country. This will ensure that your documents will be accepted by the Mexican embassy.  Fortunately, Atlanta Apostille can obtain the necessary certification and notarization for your documents and have them back to you within 24 hours, so you do not have to delay your move.

How to: Get Apostille for Indian Citizens Going Abroad

By

India ApostilleIndian citizens seeking a job abroad need to obtain an apostille in order for their personal and educational records to be recognized.  Apostilles will be issued by the Ministry of External Affairs’ CPV division and will be required for documents such as birth certificates, affidavits, marriage certificates, power of attorney, degrees, and diplomas.

Personal documents need to be first verified by the home departments or general admission departments of the individual’s respective state. Education documents must first be authenticated by the regional authentication center. The MEA will issue the apostilles only after the documents have been initially attested.

The MEA will not issue apostilles for commercial documents that are not covered by the Apostille Convention.

How to: Certify Documents for Eastern European Wedding

By

Eastern European WeddingWith destination weddings in Prague and Vienna becoming increasingly more popular, it is important to familiarize yourself with the laws of Austria and the Czech Republic well before the wedding date. Be aware that both countries require you and your future spouse to submit various documents two to four weeks in advance.  These documents include passports, birth certificates, drivers’ licenses, proof of residence, and proof of marital status (such as divorce or death certificates for previous marriages).

Your documents must receive an apostille stamp in America, and they need to be translated into the respective country’s local language.  The translations must also be certified, which is usually done in the country in which the wedding will take place. Normally you have to submit your documents and marriage application in person to the appropriate government offices (such as the town hall in Prague or the Office of Vital Statistics in Vienna) at least two weeks before the wedding. For this reason it is advised that either you or your spouse arrive in the city two weeks prior to the wedding.

Each government embassy charges different fees for these procedures, which you can verify either by phone or on the appropriate embassy’s website.
