APOSTILLE
All public (including notarised) documents issued abroad (personal, education and work certificates, etc.) have to be legalized with the "Apostille" stamp (for non–bordering countries that joined the 1961 Hague Convention) or visaed by the Argentine Consulate in the issuing country. If documents are in English they have to be translated into Spanish by a Certified Public Translator and legalized at the Association of Public Translators where the translator is registered. All documents have to be submitted in original and photocopy in order to be certified. Argentina, by Law 23.458, has joined the Convention signed in the City of La Hague on October 5, 1961, of the Conference on International Private Law. It is applied to public and notarised documents to be used in countries that have joined the convention. Any document that has the Apostille stamped in the country of origin, does not require a certification by the Argentine Consulate. You can check the list of Argentine Consulates abroad at the Foreign Office website.
