Peruvian files can run in two directions: a criminal record extract, a diploma or a civil registry extract going to Peru, a birth, marriage or school record coming to Türkiye. In both directions a single certificate is enough, but the Peru row carries two marks that need reading, A** and a note about withdrawn objections, and the Peruvian certificate can come from any of eight addresses spread across the country. This page reads the A** mark, sets out the dates on which the German and Greek objections were lifted, describes the geography of the Peruvian authority, explains the February 2021 electronic certificate and the apostillaconsulta register, and says where Spanish translation sits.
A** in the Peru row: two objections, both withdrawn
Peru deposited its instrument of accession on 13 January 2010, and the HCCH status table shows 30 September 2010 in the Peru row with the mark A**. The notifications page explains the asterisks: Germany and Greece objected to Peru’s accession, and each later withdrew. Türkiye did not object; the full status report records no exception between Türkiye and Peru, and the date between the two countries is Peru’s own. No objection to Peru’s accession remains open in the data record today; the A** mark is the trace of a contested accession, not a present obstacle. Peru appears on the HCCH list of Members.
1 January 2014 and 26 July 2024: German and Greek papers bound for Lima
Germany’s withdrawal took effect on 1 January 2014, Greece’s on 26 July 2024. Neither date touches a Turkish document; both matter in three-country files. A person living in Türkiye who must send a German document to Lima has been able to rely on a German apostille since 2014; the same route opened for a Greek document on 26 July 2024. Before each date an objection was recorded between the two states; which route applied instead is not stated in the sources read for this site. In the opposite direction, the apostille has run for Peruvian documents bound for Germany or Greece from the same dates. How a Peruvian office treats a document issued before a withdrawal but presented for the first time today was not verified in this site’s survey and is asked of the receiving office.
Lima, Arequipa, Cusco, Iquitos, Piura, Puno, Tacna, Tumbes: eight Peruvian addresses
The HCCH authority page, updated on 17 December 2024, places the authority in Peru with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but not in one building: the Directorate of Consular Policy in Lima shares it with decentralised offices in Arequipa, Cusco, Iquitos, Piura, Puno, Tacna and Tumbes. The HCCH page lists the offices by city and names no split by document type; which office a given document goes to was not verified here. A certificate signed in Cusco or Tacna has exactly the value of one signed in Lima for a Turkish office. The fee appears in soles on the HCCH page and is not carried over here; whether all seven regional offices charge the same fee was not verified.
apostillaconsulta.rree.gob.pe and Peru’s February 2021 e-apostille
The e-APP chart of 13 August 2026 records electronic apostilles from the Peruvian Ministry of Foreign Affairs since February 2021, with a register at apostillaconsulta.rree.gob.pe queried by link; the authority page gives the same address. A Peruvian document issued after early 2021 may therefore arrive in Türkiye as an electronic certificate, and a Turkish institution or notary confirms it in that register. The chart lists the authority in a single line and does not say whether the seven regional offices place electronic certificates as well. Whether paper certificates continue, and in what form a Turkish institution wants an electronic document, were not verified on this site.
Turkish documents for Peru and the Kosovo objection
A Turkish document for Lima is apostilled by a Turkish authority: an administrative document and every notarial act go to a valilik or kaymakamlık, the provincial or district governor’s office; the original of a court judgment goes to the adli yargı adalet komisyonu başkanlığı, the judicial commission at a high criminal court seat. The Onikişubat office accepts documents issued in any of the 81 provinces, whereas Develi names only documents from its own district; the any-province rule of Notaries Law art. 199 covers notarial acts only, and a uniform practice for administrative documents was not verified. A criminal record extract and a civil registry extract are among the six document types available through e-Apostil, the official Turkish electronic apostille system, so an electronic route exists; whether a Peruvian office accepts a Turkish electronic certificate was not verified. The Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Peruvian mission play no role once the apostille is on the document. The full status report names Peru among the states that objected to Kosovo’s accession; that objection leaves Turkish documents alone and operates only where a Kosovar document goes to Peru or a Peruvian document goes to Kosovo. Peru has not acceded to ETS 063, CIEC 16 or CIEC 17; multilingual civil status forms carry no exemption there.
Spanish for Peruvian offices and what the record leaves unverified
Which translation Peruvian institutions accept, and under whose signature, was not verified in this site’s survey; the receiving institution is asked before the file starts. A translation made in Türkiye passes through a notary, and the notarisation receives its own apostille from a governor’s office; that apostille confirms the notary’s signature and seal, not the translated text. A Peruvian document is translated into Turkish after the certificate is placed. Points left open here: the treatment of documents issued before a withdrawal, uniformity of fees and electronic certificates across the seven offices, the continuation of paper certificates, the form in which a Turkish e-Apostil is accepted in Lima, and the translation language. A translation office carries the text across; which office signs the certificate and what the Peruvian institution decides are outside its role.
