does anyone know if getting some papers notarized is the same as getting them apostilled
thankyou for your reply ....I am using Guzman Ariza,who I found very competent when buying my apartment .....I was just trying to get a quick reply ...before I put my sister in Ireland to a lot of unnecessary workYou lawyer should know. They do not need to be apostilled, as they are not issued by the state, but they may need to be notarized. There is nothing in the online requirements re notarization of foreign leases but there is about Dominican ones.
Documents showing the Financial Solvency
Examples: Letter of banks, Letter of Employment, titles of property
If a document is issued in the Dominican Republic, it must be certified by a notary public and legalized by the Attorney General’s Office (Procurdoría General de la República).
Please ensure you are using a specialist immigration attorney - there have been several issues recently of people being denied residency visas because their attorney did not have the requisite knowledge to complete the paperwork properly nor provide the paperwork needed.

An apostille certifies that a state issued document is authentic. It is attached to the document in question and may or may not have an embossed seal. It can only be done by the government that issued the document. It can be done through a service for fees up to around $100.
A notary can be done by anyone with a seal: bankers, lawyers and notaries. It is typically used to verify that one or more signatures have bern verified with adaquait ID. These can often be done for free.
You chose one of the best law firms in the DR. Guzmán-Ariza is a great law firm. I used them to obtain Dominican Citizenship. They're trustworthy and they know what they're doing.
