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