    Apostille & legalization

    Consular legalization

    Full consular legalization — Antigua & Barbuda is not a party to the Hague Apostille Convention, so the apostille shortcut does not apply.

    Documents that must be legalised

    • ·Police / criminal-record clearance
    • ·Medical certificate

    Bank statements, employment contracts, photos, passport copies and the application form itself do not need an apostille.

    1. Obtain originals or certified copies of each required document.
    2. Have them notarised, then certified by the relevant authority in United States (U.S. Department of State — Office of Authentications).
    3. Submit the certified documents to the Antigua & Barbuda embassy or consulate in United States for consular legalization (the final stamp).
    4. Translate the legalised document into the official language of Antigua & Barbuda — translation is usually required after the consular stamp, not before.

    Translation: Most documents must be translated into the local language by a certified translator. Agency translations are usually accepted.

    Issuing authority in United States: U.S. Department of State — Office of Authentications

    Documents older than 3–6 months are often rejected. Plan to obtain fresh originals shortly before your visa application.
