Securing the proper authentication for documents intended for use in Peru requires navigating a specific set of international and local standards. Whether you are a Philadelphia resident planning a wedding in Lima, managing property interests through SUNARP, or seeking to have your U.S. degree recognized by SUNEDU, your American documents must carry a valid apostille. Philadelphia Notary & Apostille offers a specialized local service that bridges the gap between your Pennsylvania records and the Peruvian authorities. From our Chestnut Hill office, we coordinate the notarization, state and federal apostille filing, and Spanish translation of your documents, ensuring they are prepared correctly for legal, academic, or personal use in Peru.

What We Do
U.S. Documents, Prepared For Peru
Apostille Authentication for Peru
Peru and the United States are both signatories to the Hague Apostille Convention, which simplifies the process of verifying foreign public documents. Instead of the traditional, multi-step legalization process at a Peruvian consulate, a single apostille certificate is attached to the document by the appropriate U.S. authority. This apostille authenticates the signature, seal, and capacity of the public official who issued or notarized the record. It is important to remember that Peru’s own apostille system is for Peruvian documents going abroad; for your Pennsylvania birth certificate or federal FBI check, the process must originate in the United States. Our firm manages these U.S.-based filings, ensuring your documents meet the requirements of the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Relaciones Exteriores) and other local agencies.
Legal, Academic, and Property Matters
Peruvian authorities often have very specific requirements for foreign documents, particularly concerning their age and the format of their translation. For those involved in real estate, the National Superintendency of Public Registries (SUNARP) requires apostilled powers of attorney (poderes) to be properly notarized and authenticated. Students and professionals seeking academic recognition from the National Superintendency of Higher University Education (SUNEDU) must provide apostilled diplomas and transcripts. Additionally, residency and work permit applications often require an apostilled FBI background check. Each of these processes demands a precise approach to document preparation, including the coordination of state apostilles from Harrisburg and federal apostilles from D.C. We provide the Philadelphia-based expertise to ensure your documents are prepared correctly for these Peruvian institutions.

Documents We Handle
Records For Your Next Step In Peru
Birth and Marriage Certificates for Legal Acts
For marriage registration, citizenship applications, or other civil status matters in Peru, you will need apostilled birth and marriage certificates. These must be original certified copies issued by the state or local government. We verify that your Pennsylvania records are properly prepared for the Harrisburg filing. If your documents were issued in another U.S. state, we coordinate the apostille through that state’s specific authentication office. Peruvian authorities often have specific rules about how recently these records must have been issued, so it is important to verify the current requirements before starting the process.
SUNEDU Academic Record Recognition
If you are seeking to have your U.S. degree recognized in Peru, SUNEDU requires apostilled diplomas and transcripts. This process involves having the school’s registrar notarize the documents before they are submitted for a state apostille. We work with academic institutions across the Philadelphia area to ensure these records are prepared correctly. Whether you are a student returning to Peru or a professional seeking employment, we manage the authentication chain so your academic credentials are officially recognized. We also coordinate the Spanish translation of these documents, which is essential for their evaluation by SUNEDU.
SUNARP Property and Power of Attorney
Managing real estate in Peru often requires an apostilled power of attorney (poder) to be registered with SUNARP. These documents must be properly notarized before they can receive an apostille. We can provide the necessary notarization at our Philadelphia office. It is crucial that the content of the power of attorney is provided or approved by your Peruvian legal counsel or a Peruvian notary to ensure it meets the local legal and registration standards. Once notarized and apostilled, the document can be legally used in Peru for property transactions and other legal acts.
FBI Background Checks for Residency
A criminal background check (FBI Identity History Summary) is a standard requirement for residency and work visas in Peru. Because this is a federal document, it must receive a federal apostille from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. We are experts in managing this federal process and can ensure that your background check is correctly authenticated. We also provide guidance on the translation requirements for these reports, which are essential for their acceptance by the Peruvian immigration authorities. We recommend starting this process early, as federal processing times can vary.
Corporate and Commercial Documents
Businesses in Philadelphia doing business in Peru often need to apostille corporate records, such as Articles of Incorporation, Certificates of Good Standing, or board resolutions. Depending on the document and the recipient’s needs, these may require a certified state copy or a notarized signature. We handle the authentication of these commercial records, ensuring they are ready for use in Peruvian business registrations, contracts, or financial matters. Our team understands the importance of precision and speed in corporate transactions, ensuring your documents are prepared to meet Peruvian standards.
