What Is a Bahamas Apostille?

International Authentication

A stamp/certificate attached to Bahamas documents that authenticates their validity for use in foreign countries. Issued by the Bahamas government under the Hague Convention treaty. Eliminates lengthy embassy legalisation.

Hague Convention Member

The Bahamas is a Hague Apostille Convention member. This treaty simplifies document authentication between 125+ member countries. One apostille provides legal recognition worldwide.

Legal Recognition

Bahamas apostille is recognised in USA, Canada, UK, EU countries, Australia, Japan, and 120+ other nations. Required for marriage recognition, immigration, name changes, business registration, and legal proceedings abroad.

Glenn's Tip: "The most common apostille I process is for marriage certificates. Couples get married in the Bahamas and need their certificate recognised back home for immigration, name changes, or legal status. I handle everything remotely -- most clients never need to visit Nassau."
