Apostille & Legalization for Taiwan
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in Taiwan: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
Taiwan is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the Taiwan embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to Taiwan — for work permits, marriage, residency, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before Taiwan authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what Taiwan requires and how we handle it end to end.
