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 IRS Form 6166 is issued by Internal Revenue Service, 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.

About the IRS Form 6166

How to apostille IRS Form 6166, the U.S.

You obtain this from Internal Revenue Service. We can’t request it on your behalf, but once you have it, we handle everything through to delivery in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

You need Form 8802 first. Form 6166 is issued only after you file IRS Form 8802, which carries a user fee and commonly takes six weeks or more. The 6166 is also year-specific, so confirm which tax year the destination requires.
