Authentication of birth, marriage or death certificates; education certificates; powers of attorney; sworn statements, and other documents

Argentina and the United States have ratified the “Hague Convention,” according to which, for a document to be valid in Argentina, it must have the “Apostille” provided by a competent authority where the document was originated.  Where can I obtain an “Apostille”? Once the “Apostille” is obtained, the American document will be valid in Argentina and there is no need to notarize it in the United States or Argentina. For this reason, the Consulate cannot authenticate birth, marriage or death certificates; divorce decrees; college, high school or elementary school degrees (except from the “Argentine School”) or transcripts; powers of attorney; sworn statements; nor any other public document unless it is strictly of a business and customs nature.
