An apostille can only be issued in the country where the document was issued. For a document from Senegal that means Senegal’s designated authority; no other country can apostille it. We coordinate the submission in Senegal, the notary reviews your application first, and the document is returned with the apostille – by courier or, where Senegal issues electronic apostilles, as a verified PDF.
Typical requests from Senegal concern family reunification and business. Germany and Austria objected to Senegal’s accession; between those states documents are legalised instead.

Apostille in Senegal: questions
Senegal designates its competent authorities under Article 6 of the Convention; the notary reviews your application and we route the document to the right office.
In all Contracting States except Austria and Germany: an Article 12 objection is in force between them, so documents for these states need consular legalisation instead. Non-Convention countries (for example the UAE, Qatar, Egypt) always need legalisation.
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 French or Wolof; 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 Senegal since March 23, 2023.
