Is Nepal a Hague Convention country?
No. Nepal is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so an apostille will not be accepted there. The document needs U.S. Department of State authentication first, then legalization at the Nepal embassy or consulate — in that order.
The route to Nepal
A IRS Tax Transcript 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 Nepal, the Department of State’s authentication is then legalized at the Nepal embassy or consulate.
People most often send documents to Nepal for adoption, family, employment. Receiving offices set their own requirements, so confirm what yours asks for — we’ll help you read it.
