The Philippines became a member of the Hague Apostille Convention effective May 14, 2019. Before this date, California documents required full DFA (Department of Foreign Affairs) authentication — a complex process involving the California Secretary of State, US State Department, and Philippine Embassy. Now, a single California apostille is accepted.
This is a major simplification for Bay Area Filipinos dealing with immigration petitions, OFW requirements, property transactions in the Philippines, or dual citizenship applications. One apostille from California Secretary of State is all you need.
