Hi Ivan- thanks for your question. The specific documents you need to have apostilled will vary some depending on your personal circumstances and the type of visa for which you apply. However, there are a few you will need in all cases, for yourself and every member of your family. All of these must be original documents. At minimum you will need:
1. Birth certificate
2. Marriage License
3. FBI Background Report
I strongly suggest you contact an attorney for more information and to answer any other legal questions you may have. From our Panama Rolodex, here are the contact details for Rainelda Mata-Kelly in Panama City:
