Hi everybody!I'm not sure if I'm on the right page but I'm not sure where to ask. Any response would be greatly appreciated. My parents who are in the Philippines is in the process of adopting my niece(who is the Philippines as well). My niece( my sister's daughter) has been living with my family in the philippines since she was born and my parents has been her legal guardian ever since and has my parents last name. I'm here in the US and the lawyer who is handling the adoption process needs my consent to be her sister. And he said there is a new law that I need to get the consent RED ribboned here in the states. from my understanding you only need a document red ribboned if it is executed in the Philippines and I don't know anywhere here in the states to get it done at. has anyone heard about this new law? and can anyone tell me where to get it done at? thank you so much!

It is the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) that will red ribboned the documents that are executed or sourced within the Philippine legal jurisdiction. You can have your documents authenticated here in the states by the Philippine Embassy/Consulate.

Go to this link for more information about authentication of your documents.

http://www.philippineembassy-usa.org/philippines-dc/consular-services-dc/faq-dc/#authentication

Any legal document issued in the U.S. must first be acknowledged or authenticated (‘consularized’) by the Philippine Embassy/Consulate General in order for that document to have any legal validity in the Philippines. Please check the Consulate Finder or the Consulates Link for the states covered by the Embassy/Consulates General in the U.S.

Each “consularized” document will bear the seal of the Embassy/Consulate General and the signature of the authenticating officer. The Philippine Embassy/Consulate General does not assume responsibility for the contents of the document.

PROCEDURE AND REQUIREMENTS for private documents, such as Special Power of Attorney, General Power of Attorney, Affidavit, Certification, Deed of Donation, Deed of Sale, Extra-judicial Settlement of Estate, etc:

1. Original and one (1) photocopy of document and all enclosures. Document/s should be signed by the signatories/affiants before a Consular Officer.

2. Original and one (1) photocopy of a valid passport or government-issued identification card (original will be returned)

3. If sent by mail:

  • Documents must be notarized by a Notary Public; and
  • Signature of the Notary Public must be authenticated by the Secretary of State where the Notary Public is registered (for applicants coming from states in the U.S. Southeast Region, please refer to the directory below of authenticating officers of the Secretaries of States).
