Uganda is not a contracting party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents for Uganda therefore go through consular legalisation: the competent authority and the foreign ministry of the issuing country certify the document, and the Uganda embassy or consulate legalises it.

Consular legalisation via the Ugandan Embassy.

Typical requests for Uganda concern business, NGO work and family matters. Authorities in Uganda 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.

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 Uganda.

    Apostille for Uganda: questions

    No – Uganda is not party to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents are legalised through the issuing country’s foreign ministry and the Uganda embassy or consulate instead.

    Recipients in Uganda generally expect English or Swahili. We work with sworn or certified translators for these languages and know when the translator’s signature must be apostilled as well.
