How To Get Apostille On Documents From Guatemala

2020.08.21

Hi, this is KICPC   


 What comes up to your mind when you think ‘Guatemala’?!
 Coffee..? Maya Civilizations...? Tequila...?!

 Well.. coffee is the first thing that pops up in my mind! 



 Guatemala is a Central American country south of Mexico!
 As I came up with coffee when thinking of Guatemala, this country is indeed known for coffee  
 And also though poor level of public security, this country is popular for sightseeing thanks to the remains of the great Maya civilizations! 


Also though bad security there are many students in Guatemala to learn Spanish.
 People like these students who have stayed in Guatemala for more than 6 months may have experienced at least once submitting a document from Guatemala to another country, mostly to their home country. 


Not surprisingly, since it is a matter of two different countries, before submit you should process some procedures, which can be summarized as four steps; Issuance, translation, notarization and apostille. Without these steps, the document is not valid outside of the country which issue the
 document.

  

To be specific, at the very first step, you issue what you need. Then translate all the Spanish into the language which recipient country uses as official. In this step, make sure translations is done by a professional translator. After that, you notarize the translation to prove it reliable, which is the third step. Also this step should be completed by a professional notary lawyer. 


From step 1 to step 2 there is nothing that you may feel difficult.
 However, step 4, certification, is complicated to understand.
 Let’s take a closer look!


Certification step is needed to confirm the document is genuine and legal.
 To process this step, there are two ways, apostille and embassy attestation.
 Getting apostille is getting a certification from the ministry of foreign affairs of Guatemala when the document is originated from Guatemala. However, you should get a reconfirmation on this from the recipient country when it comes to embassy attestation. 


Then you all want to choose apostille, not embassy attestation.
 But apostille is only available when the both countries, Guatemala and the submit country, are both parties of Hague Convention abolishing the requirement of legalization for foreign documents. If not, including only one country not belonging to the Convention, you cannot but to get embassy attestation. 


Given that Guatemala is a member of the Convention, whether you get apostille or embassy attestation depends on the submit country!
 If submit country belongs, you get apostille and if not you should get a reconfirmation which embassy attestation requires additionally. 


Though simple, apostille has one flaw that can be critical.
 That is, apostille is only available from the authority of the same country the document originally is created. Following this, if you forget to get apostille on the document from Guatemala and if you are not in Guatemala, there is no other way to complete the whole process for validation except using an agency which get apostille on the document on behalf of you!
