We're excited to share important news for anyone needing to use U.S. public documents in Bangladesh: On March 30, 2025, the People’s Republic of Bangladesh officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961.
This follows Bangladesh’s formal accession on July 29, 2024, making the Apostille Convention the first Hague Conference instrument the country has adopted, even though it is not yet a full member of the HCCH (Hague Conference on Private International Law).
With Bangladesh now among the 127 Contracting Parties, the process for validating U.S. documents for use in Bangladesh is faster, simpler, and more affordable than ever before.
What Changed?
Previously, U.S. documents had to undergo a multi-step consular legalization process before they could be officially recognized in Bangladesh. This often involved certification from the Secretary of State, the U.S. Department of State, and finally the Bangladesh Embassy or Consulate.
Now, thanks to Bangladesh joining the Apostille Convention, that multi-step process is replaced with a single apostille certificate issued by a competent U.S. authority.
What Documents Can Be Apostilled?
We assist with obtaining apostilles on a wide range of U.S. public documents, including:
Birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates
U.S. diplomas and academic transcripts
Federal documents issued by the FBI, FDA, NARA, USCIS, USPTO, etc.
Corporate documents such as articles of incorporation, bylaws, or powers of attorney
Notarized documents (Power of Attorney, statements, affidavits)
And other personal documents and business documents
Once apostilled, these documents are now valid for use in Bangladesh, with no additional consular legalization required.
