Authentication! That’s right! Generally, your document will not be accepted or honored abroad unless it is authenticated in the country of its origin. May it be a Special Power of Attorney, Birth Certificate, Marriage Certificate, Certificate of Driving Experience, School Diploma, Transcript of Records, et cetera. And what easily comes to our mind is “Red Ribbon”. But since 2019, there has already been a new process for authenticating these documents in the Philippines. Is “red ribbon” now a thing of the past? “Authentication” is a generic term that commonly refers to the process of verifying the origin of a public document by certifying the authenticity of the signature and legal authority of the public official who signed it. It does not, however, certify the content of the public document to which it relates. The Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents (Apostille Convention) entered into force for the Philippines on 14 May 2019. Since then, an Apostille is attached, as proof of authentication, to the underlying Philippine public document that will be used abroad. After authentication by the DFA, there is no more need for legalization by the concerned Foreign Embassy / Consulate if the country of destination of the authenticated document is also a State Party to the Apostille Convention (except for Austria, Finland, Germany and Greece as they have objected to the Philippines’ accession). However, if the country of destination of the document is not a State Party to the Convention, or if the document will be submitted in Austria, Finland, Germany, or Greece, legalization by the concerned Foreign Embassy / Consulate is still required. The previous Red Ribbon process started by getting a Certification from the relevant government agency or office and then getting Authentication by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs. After the Authentication by the Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs, you must then take your documents to the foreign countries’ Embassy for Red-ribbon or “legalization”.
