An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Colombia that means Colombia’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Colombia, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Colombia issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Authority fee: 37.800 Colombian pesos (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Colombia: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Colombia has designated: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Apostille Coordination and Legalizations. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In every other Contracting State – no objection is in force against Colombia. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: 37.800 Colombian pesos. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.
The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in Spanish; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.
The Convention has been in force for Colombia since January 30, 2001.
