Planning to work in Colombo or moving for a residency visa in Sri Lanka? Documents issued in the United States must undergo a formal Consular Legalization process to be legally valid. Since Sri Lanka is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Apostille will be rejected by Sri Lankan authorities.
At US Apostille, we specialize in the meticulous requirements of the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Washington, D.C. We provide secure, hand-carry services for your personal and commercial documents, ensuring they meet the specific standards required for work permits and business registration.
We manage the entire chain of seals required for 2026 compliance:
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 Sri Lanka.
Local Attestation: Your document is prepared for the final verification at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) in Colombo.
Processing time and fees depend on the destination country.

Marriage & Birth Certificates: Fully legalized for family sponsorship and dependent visas.
Certificates of Good Standing & Board Resolutions: Required for U.S. companies expanding into the Port City Colombo or registering with the Board of Investment (BOI).
Power of Attorney: Specially legalized for legal representation, banking, or property transactions in Sri Lanka.
Agency Agreements: For companies appointing local agents or distributors.
The "Binding & Integrity" Rule: The Embassy of Sri Lanka strictly requires that documents with two or more pages be securely bound with an embossed seal or paging seal. Any document found to be tampered with or loose will be rejected immediately.
Double Submission: For 2026, the embassy requires the original document PLUS a complete set of photocopies for their records. We handle all collation and copies to ensure your application is "Consulate-Ready."
Money Order Precision: Fees are typically $60 per document for regular civil/commercial papers. We manage the specific money order payments to the "Embassy of Sri Lanka" to ensure no delays due to payment errors.
