Is Bolivia a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Bolivia since 7 May 2018, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Bolivia with no embassy step.
The route to Bolivia
A DD-214 / Military Records is issued by Department of Defense / National Personnel Records Center, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Bolivia, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Bolivia for residency and civil matters. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
