Audit May Delay In-Country Legalizations and Apostilles
April 15, 2015
An ongoing audit at the Office of Consular Affairs of the Venezuelan Ministry of Foreign Affairs by the Venezuelan Government will delay legalization and apostille processes in the country.
Depending on the destination country, a foreign national's vital records, university diploma or company support letters may need to be legalized for use outside of Venezuela.
What This Means for Foreign Nationals
While it is currently difficult to determine the extent of the delays, foreign nationals who have submitted documentation for legalization or apostille should plan in advance for long delays.
