Effective January 1, 2007, a new regulation issued by the Venezuelan foreign exchange control authority - Comision de Administracion de Divisas (CADIVI) - requires a \”Certification of Debt\” from the seller before releasing foreign exchange on invoices more than 45 days past due. The Certification of Debt must be an original document with a creditor stamp or on letterhead, signed by the creditor, and written in Spanish or accompanied by a Spanish translation. It should also include address and telephone number of the creditor, name and address of the debtor, the amount owed plus copies of relevant invoices.

The document must be certified/legalized with an apostille — a special stamp issued by a competent authority in each country that is responsible for validating the credentials of Notary Publics in that jurisdiction. In the U.S., it must be notarized.
Please note that for documents issued in New York, they must be notarized, then sent to the County Clerk for authentication, and then forwarded to the New York Secretary of State.
