Do I need passport apostilled for marriage/permanent residency?

[Tomokoar]

For your information, an apostille is not required for the passport itself, but an apostille is necessary for the copy of the passport to verify its authenticity. Therefore, when submitting the passport copy for the visa application or something similar, it must be accompanied by an apostille to prove that the copy is a true and valid representation of the original passport.

This is interesting. Others who have recent experience with Migraciones might like to chime in now. As I commented above, Migraciones never asked me to apostille a copy of my passport, or any page from my passport. If the rules have changed recently, it would be helpful to the OP.

In my country, you are not allowed to legalise/apostille (Hague convention) a copy of any document. Only original documents that have date stamps and signatures of the person issuing the document. So even an original passport will not be accepted.

Perhaps you can get it notarised? But apostille for copies is not possible.

Oh I see, thank you also for sharing this information with me. It sounds like it could be best to be as prepared as possible and gather all the documents you can then. I plan to apply for permanent residency when I'm in Argentina, so I'm hoping they require less than an Arg embassy outside Argentina based on what everyone else says. I can get all of those documents, it's just going to be hard to get my birth certificate from the USA since I haven't lived there almost my entire life, and it's not convenient for me to go there. Do you know if birth certificates can be internationally mailed to you if you live in a different country?

Either way, good luck with your permanent residence application and interview, and good luck with your future move!

Try contacting your closest US embassy. I'm sure they can assist or at least guide you with obtaining your birth certificate. When you do, order several copies so you just have them. Also, not sure if this helps but I found this online:

"Yes, you can get a UK birth certificate if you were born abroad and are a British citizen. You can apply for a birth certificate for births registered at a UK Consulate, High Commission, or with the Armed Forces. You can also register a birth with the UK authorities if you were born on or after January 1, 1983."

if you have not name changes, then you do not need the BC.
