An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Guatemala that means Guatemala’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Guatemala, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Guatemala issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Guatemala concern adoption, family and business matters. Spanish translations by a sworn translator in Guatemala are required.
Authority fee: Apostille is free of charge (only Q.10.00 stamp tax must be covered) (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Apostille in Guatemala: questions
Under Article 6 of the Convention Guatemala has designated: Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Guatemala, Department of Authentication of the Directorate of Legal Affairs of the General Directorate of Legal Affairs, International Treaties and Translations. 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 Guatemala. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.
The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: Apostille is free of charge (only Q.10.00 stamp tax must be covered). 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.
