Red Ribbon No Longer Required To These Countries Starting May 14

The Department of Foreign Affairs said they will no longer issue Authentication Certificates for documents issued by the Philippine government that will be submitted to or have originated from 150 countries starting Tuesday, May 14

This is made possible because the Philippines signed the Hague Apostille Convention, an international law that entitles the Philippine to simplify procedures in the use of public documents abroad or from abroad here in the Philippines.

Instead, the DFA will affix an Apostille to documents for use abroad as proof of authentication for use in Apostille-contracting parties. After authentication by the DFA, there is no more need for authentication (legalization) by the concerned Foreign Embassies or Consulates General if the country or territory of destination of the authenticated document is already a member of the Apostille Convention. Public documents executed in Apostille-contracting countries and territories (except for Austria, Finland, Germany, and Greece) to be used in the Philippines no longer have to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate General once Apostillized. However, in countries and territories which are not Apostille-contracting parties, the previous process of authentication applies. Documents still have to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate General before they can be used in the Philippines. Also, there is still a need for authentication (legalization) by the concerned Foreign Embassies or Consulates General if the country of destination of the authenticated document is not yet a member of the Apostille Convention. Authentication fees will remain at PhP100 (regular processing) and PhP200 (expedited processing) per document. For the updated list of Apostille-contracting parties, please visit this link.

Public Advisory: Apostille Convention on Authentication of Documents Takes Effect in PH on 14 May 2019
07 May 2019 — The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA)—Office of Consular Affairs wishes to inform the public that it will no longer issue Authentication Certificates from 14 May 2019. Instead, the DFA will affix an Apostille to documents for use abroad as proof of authentication for use in Apostille-contracting parties.
After authentication by the DFA, there is no more need for authentication (legalization) by the concerned Foreign Embassies or Consulates General if the country or territory of destination of the authenticated document is already a member of the Apostille Convention.
Public documents executed in Apostille-contracting countries and territories (except for Austria, Finland, Germany, and Greece) to be used in the Philippines no longer have to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate General once Apostillized.
However, in countries and territories which are not Apostille-contracting parties, the previous process of authentication applies.  Documents still have to be authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate General before they can be used in the Philippines.  Also, there is still a need for authentication (legalization) by the concerned Foreign Embassies or Consulates General if the country of destination of the authenticated document is not yet a member of the Apostille Convention.
Authentication fees will remain at PhP100 (regular processing) and PhP200 (expedited processing) per document.

For those in the Philippines, the usual process is that after getting an original or certified true copy, they need to apply the document for authentication or popularly known as the “red ribbon” at the DFA, and then submit it to the concerned foreign embassy or consulate where they are going to. For Filipinos outside the country, a public document issued by the foreign government needs authentication by the foreign ministry and then by the Philippine embassy or nearest consulate.

Starting May 14, this two-step authentication process is now cut to one step only — with the DFA only affix an Apostille to document being submitted. It also applies to Filipinos in countries which signed the Apostille Convention

However, for Filipinos in countries which are not members of the Apostille Convention like the UAE, red ribbons and foreign embassy authentication are still required.

Authentication fees will remain at P100 for regular processing and P200 for expedited processing per document.
