Who issues the apostille in Paraguay?

The Directorate-General of Consular Affairs at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is the competent authority for issuing apostilles on Paraguayan documents.

Does my document also need a certified translation?

It depends on the destination and document type. We review each case to determine whether the apostille alone is enough or a certified translation is also required.
