Mexico has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since August 14, 1995. Public documents from other Convention countries – civil-status certificates, diplomas, police certificates, notarial deeds, court decisions and company documents – are accepted in Mexico with an apostille from the issuing country, unless an Article 12 objection is in force between the two states. No embassy or consular step is required.
Mexico splits apostille competence: federal documents (for example federal court documents and documents issued by federal agencies) are apostilled at federal level through the Secretaría de Gobernación, while documents issued by a state – birth and marriage certificates from the Registro Civil, notarial deeds, state diplomas and state court documents – are apostilled by the government of that state.
Foreign documents are used in Mexico for residence visas and immigration procedures with the INM, marriage at the Registro Civil, revalidation of studies with the SEP, notarial powers of attorney and property purchases, and company formation. Mexican authorities require Spanish translations, normally by a perito traductor authorised by a Mexican court, done in Mexico after the apostille.
Mexico has objected to Kosovo’s accession, so apostilles do not work between Mexico and Kosovo.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Mexico.
- Check whether a Mexican document is federal or state-issued – it decides where it is apostilled
- Plan the Spanish translation by a perito traductor in Mexico after the apostille
- For property or company matters, have the Mexican notary confirm the wording of a foreign power of attorney first
