Managing family inheritance in Havana or handling legal matters in Santiago de Cuba? Because Cuba is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, all U.S.-issued documents must undergo a comprehensive Consular Legalization process. This ensures your documents are legally recognized by the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINREX) and local authorities.
At US Apostille, we specialize in the unique and strict requirements of the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Washington, D.C. We offer professional hand-carry services to navigate the state, federal, and consular stages, ensuring your documents are authenticated correctly without the risk of rejection.
Cuban authorities require a precise "Chain of Seals." We manage every step of this sequence:
State Level: Certification from the Secretary of State where the document was issued.
Federal Level: Mandatory authentication by the U.S. Department of State in D.C.
Consular Level: Final legalization stamp from the Embassy of Cuba (Consular Section).
Local Readiness: Your document is prepared for final use at Consultoría Jurídica Internacional (CJI) or MINREX in Cuba.
Processing time and fees depend on the destination country.

University Diplomas & Transcripts: Fully legalized for professionals seeking employment or academic accreditation in Cuba.

Requirement Check: We ensure your POA is signed and notarized according to the specific phrasing required by the Cuban Consulate for 2026.
Birth, Marriage, & Death Certificates: Required for citizenship, inheritance, or family reunification. Note: Cuba strictly requires a Spanish translation for all non-Spanish documents.
Single Status Affidavits: Essential for U.S. citizens or residents planning to marry in Cuba.
⚠️ The Translation Rule: For 2026, the Cuban Embassy requires that the original document and its Spanish translation both be legalized. These are considered two separate documents with separate fees. We coordinate with certified translators to ensure your package is complete.
⚠️ High Consular Fees: Cuba has some of the highest legalization fees in Washington D.C. Standard fees for personal documents are typically $280 - $300 per document, while commercial documents may vary. We handle the specific U.S. Postal Money Order requirements to ensure zero delays.
⚠️ Mandatory Photocopies: You must include a full photocopy of every document (original and translation). If missing, the embassy charges an additional fee per page. We handle all collation and copies as part of our service.
