Hague Apostille from Guinea-Bissau

How the Hague Apostille from Guinea-Bissau 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 Guinea-Bissau, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Justice (Ministério da Justiça) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Guinea-Bissau — 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 Guinea-Bissau, the Ministry of Justice is typically responsible for issuing Apostilles. Documents must first be notarized or authenticated by relevant local authorities before being presented for an Apostille. It's crucial to confirm the specific requirements with the Ministry of Justice as processes can vary. Once apostilled, the document is generally accepted in other Hague Convention countries without further legalization.
