Jack Peterson Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Does anyone know the process for getting documents legalized in the Philippines? Exactly how do you mean, Notarized by a lawyer or Authenticated by a court or Your own Embassy? It really all depends on What it is and who needs it For Instance, your Police Report has to be Authenticated by the Phils Embassy in your own Country. My Life certification each year can be Notarized by a lawyer JP :tiphat: Edited March 24, 2015 by Jack Peterson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support scott h Posted March 24, 2015 Forum Support Posted March 24, 2015 Do you mean notarized? for use in the Philippines or ur home country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsuave Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 I don't mean notarized, though that may be part of the legalization process. I need the documents for use abroad. Unfortunately, the Philippines isn't part of the Apostille system. So documents need to be legalized in order to verify their authenticity for use abroad.

Jack Peterson Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) the Philippines isn't part of the Apostille system. Red Ribbon system from DFA is the Philippines Apostille. http://dfa.gov.ph/index.php/site-administrator/authentication-information http://www.authenticationexpress.com/ There is a main DFA in Cebu and I would have thought this service is available there as well as in Manila! Hope this helps. :thumbsup: JP :tiphat: Edited to add some text Edited March 24, 2015 by Jack Peterson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support scott h Posted March 24, 2015 Forum Support Posted March 24, 2015 Well all I can pass on is my experience. When my fathers estate was going through probate. My sister (the executor) needed my signature on some documents. We went to a local lawyer/notary, signed in his presence he stamped it. Sent it off and everything was accepted. Like I said just my experience. :cheersty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will wait and see I guess, at his next reply. JP :tiphat: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
