Peruvian Apostille Process for Use in the United States

Do you need a Peruvian document to be officially recognized in the United States? We handle the apostille process on your behalf — from obtaining the document in Peru to issuing the official apostille.

Since Peru became a party to the Hague Apostille Convention in 2010, Peruvian public documents may be apostilled for use in other member countries, including the United States, without the need for consular intervention.

An apostille is an official certification issued exclusively by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru. It certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the signatory acted, and the identity of the seal or stamp affixed to the document.

At Contrato Listo E.I.R.L., we manage the entire apostille process for you:

• ✔️ We obtain or locate the document with the relevant Peruvian authority (RENIEC, SUNEDU, Judiciary, etc.)
• ✔️ We verify and certify the document when required by the issuing authority
• ✔️ We process the official apostille through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
• ✔️ We deliver the apostilled document to a designated address

Commonly apostilled documents include:

• Birth, marriage, and death certificates
• Educational records, police records, and judicial documents
• Notarial and administrative documents issued in Peru

An apostille allows these documents to be presented before U.S. authorities for purposes such as immigration, education, employment, judicial proceedings, contractual matters, or nationality-related applications, subject to the requirements of the receiving institution.

You do not need to be physically present in Peru. We handle the process from start to finish and keep you informed at each stage.
