Birth, marriage and death certificates;
diplomas and school transcripts; powers of
attorney; assignments; affidavits and
miscellaneous statements
The Consulate does not and
cannot authenticate any of these documents. Both
Argentina and the United States follow the “Hague Legalization
Convention,” according to which, for a document to
be used in Argentina, it needs to bear an “Apostille,” issued
by the State authentication authority.
Where can I get the Hague Legalization
Convention “Apostille” certificate on a document?
