An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Lesotho that means Lesotho’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Lesotho, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Lesotho issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.

Typical requests from Lesotho concern employment and residence. English documents are accepted.

Authority fee: [no information available] (official fee, passed through 1:1 in your quote)

Where an apostille from Lesotho is not enough

No Contracting State has an objection in force against Lesotho: the apostille is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries (UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Iraq …) still require consular legalisation.

Apostille in Lesotho: questions

Under Article 6 of the Convention Lesotho has designated: The Attorney-General; The Permanent Secretary of a Ministry or Department; The Registrar of the High Court; A Resident Magistrate. The notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.

In every other Contracting State – no objection is in force against Lesotho. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) still need consular legalisation.

The authority’s fee listed with the HCCH: [no information available]. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately from Notaryzer’s service fee in your written quote; nothing is charged before you accept.

The apostille itself is standardised and accepted without translation. The document is in English or Sesotho; most recipients abroad want a sworn or certified translation into their language, which we add in the same order.

The Convention has been in force for Lesotho since October 4, 1966.
