Yes, they'll do it there. I don't think they do translations but the apostille is recognised here. Is it a degree in a related field to teaching? As if you don't have a tefl cert, they'll need to use it to get you an FM3.

You can maybe use the law degree to get a work permit for teaching, but by the book, your degree has to be related to the work you'll be doing.

Are you coming to Mexico to teach English?

Not sure what the Colombians do for this...

Sorry, typo on my part. You are coming to teach in Mexico? To teach..English, law...? Practice law? Tourist? Perhaps a dumb question...you wouldn't be posting here unless you were coming to teach... Embarassed

Do you have a job lined up? Ask your employer as to what you need for a work permit.
