Hague Apostille from Cabo Verde

How the Hague Apostille from Cabo Verde works

The Hague Apostille (Apostila) is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in Cabo Verde, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Directorate of Justice and Human Rights (Direção-Geral da Justiça e dos Direitos Humanos) (Direção-Geral da Justiça e dos Direitos Humanos) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Cabo Verde — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Portuguese or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Cabo Verde, obtaining an apostille involves submitting your original public document to the Directorate of Justice and Human Rights. Documents must be authentically issued by a recognized Cabo Verdean authority to be eligible for apostille. The apostille certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the signatory has acted, and where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears. This streamlines the process for documents to be recognized in other Hague Apostille Convention member countries, bypassing further diplomatic or consular legalization.
