Apostille services for US citizens or Colombian citizens with children born in the United States who are applying for dual citizenship in Colombia (or its embassies/consulates).
Apostille service and fast and reliable assistance for Colombia ( or its embassies/consulates).
Children of Colombian parents born in the U.S. automatically obtain U.S. citizenship and can register as Colombian citizens by birth (dual nationality).
Dual citizenship between Colombia and the United States is fully permitted, allowing individuals to hold both without the United States requiring them to renounce their foreign citizenship upon naturalization. Those with dual citizenship must use their U.S. passport to enter and exit the United States and their Colombian passport to enter and exit Colombia.
Key Steps to Dual Citizenship (USA - Colombia)
Colombian Registration: To obtain Colombian nationality, the US birth certificate must be registered at a Colombian consulate or notary office in Colombia, apostilled and translated.
Required Documents: Birth certificate of the minor (with apostille), identification of the Colombian parents (ID card) and presence of the parents and the minor.
Travel: Dual citizens (U.S./Colombia) must carry both valid passports. The U.S. passport must be used to enter and exit the U.S., and the Colombian passport may be required upon entry into Colombia.
Rights: It is not necessary to choose one nationality over the other; both countries allow dual citizenship.
Minors: Minors under 18 years of age with Colombian nationality have strict and specific departure procedures, requiring permission from both parents or legal documentation.
Benefits: Citizens with dual nationality can live, work, and vote in both countries and access benefits such as free medical care in Colombia after obtaining permanent residency.
Legal obligations: You are subject to the laws of both countries.

Certified translation
In addition to the apostille, the Colombian government requires certified 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.
