Relocating to Taipei for a tech career or expanding your business into the Taiwan market? Since Taiwan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents issued in the U.S. must undergo a specialized Authentication process through the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO) to be legally valid.
At US Apostille, we are experts in the unique requirements of TECRO Washington, D.C. We provide secure, hand-carry services to ensure your diplomas, background checks, and corporate bylaws are processed correctly and returned to you with the official Taiwan authentication seal.
TECRO has a very specific "Jurisdiction-based" and "Chain-of-command" process. We manage the entire workflow:
State Certification: Secretary of State seal from the state where the document originated.
Federal Authentication: U.S. Department of State seal (required for all documents submitted to TECRO D.C.).
TECRO Legalization: The final authentication stamp from the Taiwan Representative Office in Washington, D.C.
Local Use: Your document is now ready for use in Taiwan's banks, immigration offices, or government agencies.
Processing time and fees depend on the destination country.

FBI Background Checks: Mandatory for most "Gold Card" or work visa applicants. We specialize in the federal authentication required for these reports.
University Diplomas: Essential for teaching positions or professional work permits in Taiwan. We ensure your degree meets TECRO’s verification standards.
Certificates of Good Standing & Board Resolutions: For U.S. companies establishing a presence in the Hsinchu Science Park or Taipei.
Power of Attorney: Correctly formatted to meet Taiwan's legal requirements for business representatives.
Marriage & Birth Certificates: For family reunification visas or household registration in Taiwan.
Health Certificates: Often required for long-term residency applications.
Jurisdiction Rule: TECRO Washington, D.C. primarily handles documents from specific states (MD, VA, WV, DE, and DC). If your document is from another state (like California or New York), we will guide you on the specific routing to ensure it is accepted at the D.C. federal level first.
Translation Requirements: TECRO legalizes the English original. For use in Taiwan, you may need a Chinese translation. We can assist in preparing your documents so they are ready for translation and notarization in Taiwan (the most cost-effective route).
The Application Form: Taiwan requires a specific "Application for Authentication" form with every request. We provide this form and review it for you to ensure no clerical errors lead to a rejection.
