When a Dominica document will be used overseas, the receiving authority may require authentication. An apostille is one possible route for use in a country that accepts apostilles under the Hague Apostille Convention. The recipient decides what it will accept.
Common document enquiries
Our apostille service handles enquiries involving police records, marriage certificates, certificates of non-marriage, Certificates of Naturalization, incorporation documents and certain notarized documents. The original document’s form and the recipient’s instructions determine what preparation is needed.
Three questions to ask the recipient
- Does it require an apostille, another form of legalization or only the original document?
- Must the document have been issued within a particular number of months?
- Does it require an original by courier, or will a digital copy be accepted initially?
What to send us
Share a copy of the document, the country and institution where it will be used, your deadline and any written instructions. We can review the document, confirm the practical steps and provide a quote before you send originals. If you still need to obtain the underlying document, ask whether we can help with that stage too.
Plan the return delivery
International courier delivery is available, but processing and transit times vary. Keep the destination address and a contact number ready. Do not send original documents until the submission route has been confirmed.
