Is Bosnia and Herzegovina a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Bosnia and Herzegovina since 6 March 1992, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Bosnia and Herzegovina with no embassy step.
The route to Bosnia and Herzegovina
A USDA Phytosanitary is issued by US Department of Agriculture / APHIS, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Bosnia and Herzegovina, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Bosnia and Herzegovina for citizenship by descent and family matters. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
