Is Venezuela a Hague Convention country?
Yes. The Apostille Convention has been in force for Venezuela since 16 March 1999, and for the United States since 15 October 1981 — so a U.S. apostille is accepted in Venezuela with no embassy step.
The route to Venezuela
A FDA Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product is issued by U.S. Food and Drug Administration, a federal authority, so it is authenticated by the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C. — never by a state office. For Venezuela, that apostille is the finish line.
People most often send documents to Venezuela for civil registry and residency matters. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
