You can take the consulate route even if your country is part of the Hague convention.
Sure. But Portugal doesnāt have to accept it as authentic, unlike an apostille.
When we shifted from an immigration attorney in solo practice to an immigration attorney in a group practice (NSM in Portugal), everything changed!! All of the sudden things are really moving for us! My husbands application has been submitted and now I will be addressing my paperwork. For us, the right attorney has so far been a game changer in this process.
Does anyone know if I can have the US State Department (where Iām going tomorrow to apostille my FBI background check) can also apostille state issued birth certificates and a marriage license?
Hi Micheal, Iām not sure, this process has been quite confusingā¦that said I think Iāve seen this topic referenced on this platform. Iād recommend a search. Best! Cyndy
@cjcmlmcar No, not to my knowledge. They must be apostilled in the state which they were issued (usually by the Secretary of State for that State (say that five times fast)).
No. Just from Federal departments/agencies
Thank you, thank you!
