Peruvian Document Apostille Process for International Use

Do you need a Peruvian document to be legally valid abroad? We handle the entire process for you — obtaining and apostilling your documents without complications.

Since Peru joined the Hague Apostille Convention in 2010, Peruvian documents can be apostilled to obtain international legal validity, without the need for consular legalization in foreign embassies.

The apostille is an official certification issued exclusively by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru. It validates the authenticity of the signature, position, and institutional seal appearing on the document.

At Contrato Listo E.I.R.L., we take care of every step for you:

• ✔️ We locate your document in the relevant Peruvian authority (RENIEC, SUNEDU, Judicial Branch, etc.)
• ✔️ We certify it if required
• ✔️ We process the official apostille
• ✔️ We send it securely anywhere in the world

Documents that can be apostilled include:

• Birth, marriage, or death certificates
• School records, police or court clearances, and judicial sentences
• Notarial or administrative documents

The apostille allows you to use these documents abroad for immigration, education, employment, judicial, contractual, or nationality procedures, among others.

You don’t need to be in Peru or rely on relatives. We manage the process for you step by step, providing clear and up-to-date information.
