CPA letter for international procedures
We coordinate the apostille of letters issued by a certified public accountant (CPA) in the U.S. that confirm financial information, such as income, tax filing status or a business's standing, often requested for visas, immigration procedures or business matters abroad. We review the document first, because the procedure depends on who signs it and the state, and we tell you what is needed before promising the procedure.

What is a CPA letter used for?
A CPA letter is a communication signed by a certified public accountant that confirms financial information about a person or a business, such as income, tax filing status or a business's standing. It is often requested as supporting evidence in visa applications, immigration procedures or business matters abroad. For international use it may require an apostille.
It's important to keep in mind that an accountant's letter works as supplementary evidence: it does not replace other documents that the receiving authority may specifically require, such as a certification issued directly by a bank.
Key points about your CPA letter
A CPA letter is usually a private document; before it can be apostilled, the accountant's signature frequently needs notarization or authentication, and the procedure depends on the state where the CPA is licensed or signs.
Clear, verifiable content
The letter should describe precisely the financial information it confirms, without ambiguity.
A signature that can be authenticated
The CPA's signature may need notarization or authentication; the procedure depends on the state where they are licensed or where they sign.
Not every accountant certifies the same way
Each accounting firm handles the notarization or certification process differently; we help you find the right route.
We review before promising the procedure
We first review the document to confirm that it can be apostilled and how.
How to have it ready
Notarized or authenticated letter
The letter with a notarized or authenticated signature is what gets apostilled.
Supplementary evidence, not a substitute
A CPA letter supports other documents; it does not replace a bank certification or another document the receiving authority specifically requires.
Translation
If the destination country requires it, we coordinate a certified translation.
