Notice on the Legalisation or Apostille of Documents

With the entry into force of the Apostille Convention for the Philippines on 14 May 2019, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) will issue an Apostille instead of an Authentication Certificate as proof of authentication of public documents for use abroad.

IMPORTANT:

  • The embassy / consulates do not issue apostille / legalisation of Philippine or Danish documents nor do we arrange in sending the documents for apostille. 

  • All documents issued in the Philippines or in Denmark must be apostilled/authenticated/legalised by the issuing country before it can be recognised by the receiving country.

  • Documents with apostille/authentication/legalisation from the DFA or UM do not need additional confirmation or certification from the embassy or consulates. 

 

For Danish documents to be used in the Philippines / Philippine authority, please refer to official website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UM) in Copenhagen: Legalisation (Apostille) (um.dk)

For Philippine documents to be used in Denmark / Danish authority, please refer to the official website of the DFA: Home - Authentication Division
