Kenya is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Kenya therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Kenya embassy or consulate legalises it.
Consular legalisation via the Kenyan Embassy.
Typical requests for Kenya concern employment, business and family matters. Authorities in Kenya generally expect documents in English or Swahili; where a document is not bilingual, we add a sworn translation, and for several countries the translator’s signature is apostilled as well. English documents are accepted; the Kenyan embassy or consulate legalises after pre-certification by the issuing country’s authorities.
Notaryzer handles it end to end: the notary reviews your application, we organise the apostille or legalisation in the issuing country, arrange the translation and ship the result to you or directly to the recipient in Kenya.
