Social Security Administration (SSA) regularly sends income and benefits letters to U.S. Citizens. However, if you divide your career between the USA and another country, have business with projects or offices in another country, or just wish to spend your retirement years abroad, you will be asked to get your Social Security certificate apostilled to become valid for international use. You should start with requesting a copy of your Social Security Letter directly at the local SSA office, or the SSA website ssa.gov. 

Depending on your particular situation, you may either need to request from the SSA office an SSA Benefits Letter, or Certificate of Coverage. SSA Benefits Letter also often referred to as Proof of Income Letter, is a document confirming that its holder receives Social security benefits or Medicare. SSA benefits letter is generally requested by Consulates to issue long term visas/residency permits for those who wish to reside in another country and receive US social security benefits. 

Certificate of Coverage is requested if its holder divides his/her work between the United States and another country. You may need a Certificate of Coverage to avoid paying double Social Security taxes if you are an employee of a U.S. company or corporation that manages or supervises overseas operations.  

Occasionally people request Apostilled Social Security Letters after they already left the United States. Even if you are out of the country, you can still mail your SSA letter to our office and we will obtain an apostille on it. 

Global Apostille processes apostilles for official letters issued by the U.S. Social Security Administration. Documents issued by the Social Security Administration are federal documents and must always have the federal stamp/ signature. If a country requesting your Social Security Letter is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, we will obtain an apostille on your document. For countries – non-members of the Hague Apostille Convention your Social Security Letter may need further authentication through the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C., and legalization through the Embassy / Consulate office. 

At Global Apostille, we make obtaining an apostille on your Social Security Income and Benefits Statement easy and stress-free. Our experienced and knowledgeable team is available to answer any questions and provide you with easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions.

"When I was trying to get OCI Processing for my son done in India, I came to know that birth certificate Apostille should be submitted. I was not aware of such a thing. I was not sure whom to trust, I have sent emails to few agencies who said they will get it done. The one thing I really liked about Global Apostille is their prompt response and clear communication through emails."
