  GENERAL INFORMATION  
 

As the Philippines is now an official member of the Apostille Convention, primary options for notarizing private documents for use in the Philippines: (1) by notarization at the Philippine Embassy or (2) through the Apostille process.

CONSULAR NOTARIZATION

The Embassy can notarize private documents such as affidavits, special power of attorney, general power of attorney, affidavit, certification, deed of donation, deed of sale, extra-judicial settlement of estate, and insurance forms. The notarized document will have a covering page (Notarial Certificate) bearing the seal of the Embassy and the signature of the consular officer. 

Since the Embassy will verify the signer’s identity and understanding of a document’s contents, personal appearance of all signatories is required. Once notarized, the private document can now be used in the Philippines. The document cannot be used in other countries.

The Embassy cannot notarize the following documents:

  1. Documents issued by government agencies, whether Philippine or foreign
  2. Photocopied documents
  3. Corporate documents
