Certified or notarized bank statements for use abroad
We coordinate the apostille of U.S. bank statements and account statements for procedures abroad such as visas, residency, inheritances or property purchases. Since a statement downloaded from the internet cannot always be apostilled as is, we first review your document and tell you what preliminary step it needs.

What are apostilled bank statements used for?
Bank statements and account statements are requested abroad for visas, residency, inheritance processes, property purchases or to prove available funds. For international use they usually require an apostille to confirm the document's origin.
We work with statements from banks and financial institutions across the United States, coordinating the certification or notarization and the apostille according to the state and destination country.
Key points about apostilling a bank statement
A statement downloaded from the internet cannot always be apostilled as is; a preliminary step is often needed before it qualifies.
A downloaded PDF isn't always apostillable
A statement downloaded from the internet cannot always be apostilled directly; it may first need to be certified or notarized.
Bank letter or certification
A letter or certification issued by the bank confirming the account or balance may be required before the apostille.
Bank officer's signature / notarization
The signature of a bank officer or the notarization of a statement may be required so the document can be apostilled.
Certified copy and state authentication
Depending on the state and the destination country, a certified copy and additional state authentication may be required.
How to get it ready
Notarized or certified document
The notarized or bank-certified document is what gets apostilled — not simply a screen printout.
Certified copy
When it applies, a certified copy is prepared so the state can authenticate and apostille it.
Translation
If the destination country requires it, we coordinate a certified translation — before or after the apostille, depending on the case.
