What Is an Apostille for Chile?

An apostille for Chile is an official certificate that verifies the authenticity of U.S. public documents (such as FBI background checks, birth certificates, and marriage certificates) for use in Chile. Since both the United States and Chile are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by Chilean authorities.

For state-issued vital records (birth, marriage, or divorce certificates), the apostille must be issued by the Secretary of State where the document was originally recorded. For federal documents like FBI Background Checks, the apostille is issued by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.

SERMIG & Universidad de Chile Guidelines

Chile's National Migration Service (SERMIG) requires all supporting documents, including FBI background checks and pension letters, to be dated within 90 days of submission. Documents must be translated into Spanish.

Apostille certificates must remain permanently attached to the underlying document. Removing the staple invalidates the authentication for Chilean legal use.
