Hague Apostille from Lesotho

How the Hague Apostille from Lesotho works

The Hague Apostille (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 Lesotho, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations (Lekala la Litaba tsa Kantle ho Naha le Likamano tsa Machaba) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Lesotho — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Southern Sotho or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Lesotho, obtaining an Apostille primarily involves the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Relations. Documents must first be authenticated by the relevant issuing authority within Lesotho before submission to the Ministry. This process ensures that documents such as birth certificates, academic records, and commercial invoices issued in Lesotho are formally recognized for legal use in other Hague Convention countries. The Apostille affixed by Lesotho certifies the authenticity of the signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document acted, and where appropriate, the identity of the seal or stamp which the document bears.
