Do you need to apostille your Tax Return?

We can apostille certified tax return documents issued directly from the IRS or notarized copies. Notarized copies are processed through the Secretary of State’s office while certified document issued from the IRS are processed through the US Department of State in Washington DC.

Unless you obtain a certified copy of your tax return directly from the IRS with an official signature that is verifiable at the US Department of State, the best and fastest option is to notarize a copy.

You can meet with a local notary public and have your signature signed and notarized or you can ask your accountant to have his/her signature signed and notarized. Please double check with the country requesting the apostille if they are okay with you or your accountant attesting to the authenticity of the transcripts. If not, you will need to contact the IRS and request a certified and signed transcripts.

We found the following information helpful online but we recommend that you contact the IRS directly…

There’s an option to request certification of a copy of your tax return, using Form 4506. You ask for the certification by checking the checkbox on line 6.

FDA Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product Apostille

November 1, 2020 by admin

Do you need an apostille on a Certificate to Pharmaceutical Product (CPP)?

The United States Food and drug Administration (FDA) issues Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product certificates that can be used in countries who are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. This certificate conforms to the format recommended by the World Health Organization.

Firms exporting products from the U.S. are often asked by foreign customers or foreign governments to supply a certification relating to products subject to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and other acts the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) administers. Under the FDA Export Reform and Enhancement Act of 1996 (the Act), FDA is authorized to issue certificates for drugs, animal drugs, and devices within 20 days of receipt of a request for such a certificate.

The “Certificate of a Pharmaceutical Product” conforms to the format established by the World Health Organization (WHO) and is intended for use by the importing country when the product in question is under consideration for a product license that will authorize its importation and sale or for renewal, extension, amending or reviewing a license.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (U.S. FDA) of the United States of America (USA), attach different colored Ribbons to the CPP, which mark the content details. They differentiate between three different types of CPPs for:

Finished medicinal products that are legally marketable in the US authorized by the U.S FDA; A Red Ribbon will be affixed to all (regular) CPPs issued for authorized medicinal products;

Finished medicinal products which are not authorized by U.S. FDA but which may be legally exported; A Blue Ribbon will be affixed to CPPs issued only for export of an unapproved medicinal products; and a CPP for Foreign Manufacturer (products manufactured outside of the U.S.).

A Yellow Ribbon will be affixed to CPPs with foreign manufacturing sites outside of the USA. (Famulare & U.S. FDA, 2003)
