Report of Death of a U.S. Citizen Abroad – Federal Apostille Description
The Report of Death of a U.S. Citizen or U.S. Non-Citizen National Abroad (Form FS-240) is an official document issued by the U.S. Department of State through a U.S. Embassy or Consulate. It serves as the legal equivalent of a death certificate for Americans who pass away outside the United States and is often required for estate settlement, life insurance claims, and tax filings both in the U.S. and abroad.
When presenting this document to foreign authorities, financial institutions, or courts, many countries require it to be apostilled or legalized, depending on whether they are members of the Hague Apostille Convention.
