Apostille services for US citizens or Guatemalan citizens with children born in the United States who are applying for dual citizenship in Guatemala (or its embassies/consulates).
If you are a U.S. citizen or have children who are U.S. citizens and are applying for dual citizenship for your children in Guatemala or at the Guatemalan Embassy or Consulate in the United States, one of the key steps in the process is to prepare and legalize your U.S.-issued documents. This includes obtaining apostilles, the official certifications that validate your U.S. documents for use in Guatemala.
At American Notary Service Center , we specialize in providing apostille services for U.S. documents required by Honduran authorities, specifically tailored to clients seeking dual citizenship.
Which documents require an apostille?
According to the requirements published by the Guatemalan Embassy in Washington, DC, applicants must present a birth certificate, duly apostilled for international use.
Requirements :
Apostilled US birth certificate of the minor.
Valid birth certificate of both Guatemalan parents (issued by RENAP).
Personal Identification Document (DPI) or valid passport of both parents.
Procedure :
Visit the nearest Guatemalan consulate without needing an appointment.
Submit the required documents to be registered as Guatemalans.
The consulate will transfer the documentation to Guatemala so that the National Registry of Persons (RENAP) can complete the process.
The documents must be apostilled by the appropriate federal or state authority before being accepted by the consulate.
Request the Apostille service below and indicate the number of documents. Processing times vary depending on the issuing state. You can check current processing times here.
Certified translation (if necessary)
In addition to apostilles, the Honduran government may require Spanish translations of each document. These translations must match the legalized (apostilled) documents and are usually submitted along with the originals at the consular appointment.
We can put you in touch with certified Spanish translators experienced in consular requirements, or offer you a complete package with apostilles and translations.

Benefits of dual nationality
Access to consular protection in both countries.
Ease of travel between the two countries.
Possibility of accessing benefits in both countries, such as medical assistance in public hospitals in the case of children born in the U.S. to Guatemalan parents.
Important points
It is important to carry both passports (Guatemalan and US) when traveling to/from the US.
Even if a Guatemalan-American has dual citizenship, they must use their U.S. passport to enter and leave the country.
Guatemalan law allows dual citizenship, provided that the other nationality does not go against the interests of the Republic of Guatemala.
