SSA Letter Legalization for Taiwan
How to authenticate a Social Security Benefit Verification Letter for use in Taiwan: the exact route, translation requirements, and full-service handling from West Palm Beach.
An apostille is not accepted. Your SSA Letter must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State, then legalized at the Taiwan embassy.
Sending a SSA Letter to Taiwan — commonly for work permits, marriage, residency — requires authenticating the document so Taiwan authorities accept it. Because Taiwan is not a Hague Convention member, the route is Department of State authentication followed by embassy legalization. Here is exactly what applies to this document and destination.
