Since the Philippines joined the Hague Convention, U.S. documents only require a standard state or federal apostille. Here are the documents most commonly processed.
The Philippines joined the Hague Convention in 2019. U.S. documents no longer require Philippine consulate authentication (red ribbons).

An apostille for the Philippines 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 the Philippines. Since both the United States and the Philippines are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Hague apostille is the only legal certification required by the Philippines 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.
Because consulates and visa application centers are highly strict, your document packages must be completely free of errors. Most foreign consulates require a certified or sworn translation of all U.S. documents. Attempting to submit standard translations, un-notarized diplomas, or background checks older than 90 days will result in your visa application being rejected.
