Can Panama company documents be apostilled?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Yes. Panama has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 1991, so apostilled Panamanian documents are accepted in other member countries without consular legalisation. Banks abroad usually want the registered articles and a recent registry certificate with an apostille, plus a certified translation if they do not read Spanish.
