Hi Paul Tiffer:

Thanks for giving details on the new immigration law and other useful details.

Hello readers:

I am glad to inform you than Nicaragua now is part of The Hague Convention (Apostille Treaty ) which entered into force in Nicaragua on 14 May 2013, abolishing the requirement for legalization or authentication of foreign public documents by the local and state authorities and by the Nicaraguan Consulate abroad, for the countries which are members of the Convention.

As of now any residency applicant under any category from the countries under the Convention, just need to Apostille their documents - Birth Certificate, Police Record,  Health Certificate, Marriage License etc., and have them translated to be accepted in Nicaragua.

This new rule will make a simpler process to the people who need to submit their documents in Nicaragua as retirees, foreign investors, missioners, etc.

In USA the agency in charge to Apostille is NAAS 聳 National Association of Secretaries of States 聳 and can be contacted by:
I afraid Canada is not part of the Convention of Hague for Apostille, so they must continue authenticating. They has two options:
First legalized in the Department of Foreign Affair and International Trade in Ottawa, and them in any Nicaraguan Consulate in USA.
Second and faster is to legalized in Canada in the Department of Foreign Affair and International Trade, in Ottawa and them in the Canadian Consulate in Managua, for retirees is free of charge.

The list of the countries is:

Albania, Alemania, Andorra, Antigua y Barbuda, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Azerbaiy谩n, Bahamas, Barbados, Belar煤s o Bielorrusia, B茅lgica, Belice, Bosnia y Herzegovina, Botswana, Brunei Darussalam, Bulgaria, Cabo Verde, China Popular, Chipre, Colombia, Cook, Islas, Corea del Sur, Costa Rica, Croacia, Dinamarca, Dominica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia, Espa帽a, Estados Unidos de Am茅rica*,Estonia, Fiji (Fiyi), Finlandia, Francia, Georgia, Granada, Grecia, Honduras, Hungr铆a, India, Irlanda, Islandia, Israel, Italia, Jap贸n, Kazajst谩n, Kirguist谩n, La ex Rep煤blica Yugoslava de Macedonia, Lesotho, Letonia, Liberia, Liechtenstein, Lituania, Luxemburgo, Malawi, Malta, Marshall, Islas, Mauricio, M茅xico, M贸naco, Mongolia, Montenegro, Namibia, Nicaragua, Niue, Noruega, Nueva Zelandia, Om谩n, Pa铆ses Bajos, Panam谩, Per煤, Polonia, Portugal, Reino Unido de Gran Breta帽a e Irlanda del Norte, Rep煤blica Checa, Rep煤blica de Moldavia, Rep煤blica Dominicana, Rumania, Rusia, Federaci贸n de, Saint Kitts-Nevis(San Cristobal y Nieves), Samoa, San Marino, San Vicente y las Granadinas, Santa Luc铆a, Santo Tom茅 y Pr铆ncipe, Serbia, Seychelles, Sud谩frica, Suecia, Suiza, Suriname, Swazilandia, Tonga, Trinidad y Tabago, Turqu铆a, Ucrania, Uruguay, Uzbekist谩n, Vanuatu, Venezuela.

Senor Tiffer. You seem to be the only one putting any useful info on this site. I was aware the my idiot government (Canada) didn't sign the Hague Apostille agreement. Should I get all my document translated into Spanish in Canada or do it in Nicaraqua. Please keep up the good work.聽 聽Gracias, Bryan
