Hague Apostille from Mauritania

How the Hague Apostille from Mauritania 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 Mauritania, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (وزارة الشؤون الخارجية والتعاون) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Mauritania — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Arabic or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. Mauritania became a member of the Hague Apostille Convention in 2021, simplifying the process for international document recognition. Documents originating from Mauritania and intended for use in other Convention countries no longer require traditional consular legalization. Instead, they need an Apostille issued by the designated Mauritanian authority. It is essential that documents are properly notarized or certified by the relevant issuing body within Mauritania before seeking an Apostille to ensure acceptance abroad.
