MyanmarDoes not use apostilles

Process

What applies instead

The Myanmar embassy in Kuwait says documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates and degrees that need attestation should be notarised by a registered notary public in Myanmar and endorsed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nay Pyi Taw or Yangon, with the endorsement valid for six months, before they are submitted to the embassy.²

How to check whether Myanmar has joined

Countries join the Apostille Convention from time to time. The Hague Conference keeps the list of members in its status table. We last checked it on 18 October 2026, when Myanmar was not on it.¹

Other direction

If your document comes from a member country

An apostille from a contracting party does not by itself make a document usable in Myanmar. Ask the authority in Myanmar that will receive the document which steps it requires. An apostille only confirms the signature, the role of the person who signed and any seal or stamp on the document. It does not confirm what the document says. The office that receives the document decides what it accepts.
