Apostille for documents between Panama and the United Kingdom
Panama and the United Kingdom are both party to the 1961 Hague Convention, so a public document only needs an apostille from the issuing country, with no consulate involved.
Worth knowing
In the UK, apostilles are issued by the Legalisation Office of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
Documents from the United Kingdom for use in Panama
- The document is apostilled in the United Kingdom by the competent authority of the issuing country.
- It is translated into Spanish by an authorized public translator in Panama, unless it is already in Spanish.
- It is submitted to the Panamanian institution (Immigration, Public Registry, universities, courts).
Panamanian documents for use in the United Kingdom
- The original document or a certified copy is obtained in Panama.
- It is apostilled at Panama's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
- It is translated into the language required in the United Kingdom; some authorities want the translation done locally, and we confirm this beforehand.
Requirements change and each institution may ask for something different. Before starting, we confirm the exact route for your document with you.
