Is Belize a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Belize since 11 April 1993, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Belize with no embassy step.
The route to Belize
A EPA Certificate is issued by Environmental Protection Agency, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Belize, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Belize for retirement residency and property. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
