Apostille Countries in Africa

Some African countries are members of the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning apostilles may be available for certain public documents.

African Apostille Convention countries include:

Algeria
Botswana
Burundi
Cabo Verde
Eswatini
Lesotho
Liberia
Malawi
Mauritius
Morocco
Namibia
Rwanda
São Tomé and Príncipe
Senegal
Seychelles
South Africa
Tunisia

Apostille availability depends on the country, document type, competent authority and the destination country where the document will be used.

When Apostille Is Not Available

Many African countries do not issue apostilles. In those cases, documents may require a different legalisation route.

This may include:

Notarisation
Court certification
Ministry of Justice authentication
Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication
Government attestation
Embassy legalisation
Consular legalisation
Certified translation
Registry verification
Professional body confirmation

Clinton Consultancy helps clients identify the correct route depending on the country, document and destination authority.
