Rwanda has applied the Hague Apostille Convention since June 5, 2024. Public documents from other Convention countries – civil-status certificates, diplomas, police certificates, notarial deeds, court decisions and company documents – are accepted in Rwanda with an apostille from the issuing country, unless an Article 12 objection is in force between the two states. No embassy or consular step is required.
Note: Germany objected to Rwanda’s accession, so between Rwanda and those states the apostille is not accepted and legalisation applies.
Typical requests for Rwanda concern business and NGO matters. Authorities in Rwanda generally expect documents in Kinyarwanda, English, or French; where a document is not bilingual, we add a sworn translation, and for several countries the translator’s signature is apostilled as well. Germany objected to Rwanda’s accession; between the two states documents are legalised instead.
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 Rwanda.

Apostille for Rwanda: questions
Yes – Rwanda is party to the Hague Apostille Convention (in force since June 5, 2024). Apostilles from other Convention countries are accepted unless an Article 12 objection is in force between the two states; for Rwanda this concerns Germany.
