Following the Philippines’ accession to the Apostille Convention in May 2019, the Consulate does not anymore authenticate public documents issued in States under its jurisdiction (Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin), such as school records, birth certificates, police records and the like.

Said documents may be apostillized (Apostille) by the concerned US government office (usually the office of the Secretary of State that has jurisdiction over the issuing agency) and may be sent directly to the Philippines without any authentication from the Consulate.
With the Philippines’ accession to the Apostille Convention, legal documents, such as Special/General Power of Attorney, Affidavit, Deed of Donation and the like, which will be used in the Philippines, need not be notarized at the Consulate. Said documents may be notarized by a local NOTARY PUBLIC and apostillized (Apostille) by the concerned US government office (usually the office of the Secretary of State where the local Notary Public is registered) and may be sent directly to the Philippines. However, should you wish to have your legal document notarized at the Consulate, see “Other Services”).
