CONSULAR LEGALIZATION / AUHENTICATION
The Consulate General of Peru in Atlanta only legalizes
the documents which has been already legalized by the
County Clerk or the Register of Deeds of any of the
following States: Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina,
South Carolina and Tennessee.
Donations and Adoptions
Nevertheless, when the documents to be legalized by the
Consulate are referred to Donations or Adoptions, the
INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION or GREAT SEAL issued by the
Secretary of State of the state where the document was
originally issued will be required.
The "Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of
Legalization for Foreign Public Documents"authorizes
Secretaries of State to issue an apostille certification
that eliminates the need to send the document to the US
Department of State or Consulates. Once an individual
receives and apostille on a document and the document is
going to be used in the Hague Convention country, the
document is ready for that country.
Therefore, according to US and International Laws, all
documents originatedin USA which are going to be used in
Peru, MUST obtain:
· The certification issued by the County Clerk or the
Register of Deeds or
· The INTERNATIONAL CERTIFICATION or GREAT SEAL issued
by the Secretary of State of the state where the
document was originally issued, when this document is
referred to Donatios or Adoptions
