An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Botswana that means Botswana’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Botswana, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Botswana issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Botswana concern employment and residence permits. English documents are accepted; Botswana has applied the Convention since 1966.
Authority fee: [no information available] (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)
Where an apostille from Botswana is not enough
No Contracting State has an objection in force against Botswana: the apostille is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries (UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq …) still require consular legalisation.
