Apostille & legalization
Consular legalizationFull consular legalization — Cayman Islands 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.
- Obtain originals or certified copies of each required document.
- Have them notarised, then certified by the relevant authority in United States (U.S. Department of State — Office of Authentications).
- Submit the certified documents to the Cayman Islands embassy or consulate in United States for consular legalization (the final stamp).
- Translate the legalised document into the official language of Cayman Islands — 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
