Apostille for Cape Verde
Submitting U.S.-issued records to a Cape Verdean institution, employer, immigration authority or other receiving office? Miami Dade Apostille coordinates apostilles for eligible documents from all 50 states and handles the appropriate federal-agency or federal-court route for each record, including FBI background checks. Whether an apostille is required depends on the receiving institution and the purpose of submission — confirm that directly with the recipient before sending documents. Government authorities issue the apostilles; our team manages the coordination.
Have U.S. documents going to Cape Verde?
Share readable copies and the receiving office's instructions. We can review the available service options before you send originals. If mailing, use a trackable shipping method and keep your tracking number.
Document types we can review for your Cape Verde file
The following U.S.-issued record types are commonly submitted to Cape Verdean institutions. Eligibility and the recipient's required format apply to every category:
- Birth, marriage and death certificates and other eligible civil-status or single-status records
- Certified divorce decrees, adoption records and other court documents
- FBI background checks processed at the federal level through the U.S. Department of State — state apostilles are not valid for FBI records
- Diplomas, degrees, transcripts and other eligible educational or professional credentials
- Powers of attorney, affidavits, authorization and consent letters, and other properly notarized documents
- Eligible federal records including naturalization and citizenship documents
- Employment, income, pension, financial and medical records with the required certification or notarization
- Corporate formation records, certificates of good standing, resolutions and other eligible business documents
- Passport and identity-document copies where certification is permitted and the receiving office accepts the format

Apostille, translation and notarization requirements
Cape Verde (Cabo Verde) is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention. For covered U.S. public documents, a qualifying apostille replaces diplomatic or consular legalization. Not every U.S. document submitted to a Cape Verdean institution requires an apostille — the receiving body and the purpose of submission determine whether one is needed. Portuguese is the official language of Cape Verde; whether a Portuguese translation is required, and which translator credentials and certification method the recipient accepts, depends on the institution and document type. Confirm those requirements directly with the receiving office before arranging any translation. We can coordinate certified translations and Remote Online Notarization where the document, signer circumstances, applicable law and recipient acceptance allow.

Miami Dade Apostille is a private document coordination service, not a government agency or law firm. We do not provide legal advice, complete applications, determine document requirements, or issue government records or apostilles. Clients must confirm requirements directly with the consulate, embassy or receiving authority in Cape Verde. Government and receiving authorities decide eligibility and acceptance.
