Apostille & Legalization for El Salvador
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in El Salvador: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
As a Hague Convention member, El Salvador recognizes a single apostille certificate from the U.S. Department of State. No embassy legalization step is required.
If you are sending a U.S. document to El Salvador — for residency and family matters, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before El Salvador authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what El Salvador requires and how we handle it end to end.
