Hague Apostille from Gambia

How the Hague Apostille from Gambia works

The Hague Apostille 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 Gambia, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Gambia — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, English or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. Currently, Gambia is not a signatory to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. Therefore, for documents issued in Gambia to be used abroad, they typically require consular legalization instead of an Apostille. This involves notarization, authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Gambia, and then legalization by the embassy or consulate of the destination country in Gambia. This multi-step process ensures cross-border acceptance for Gambian documents in non-Hague member states or for those cases where the destination country requires full embassy legalization.
