Hague Apostille from Nigeria

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

We handle every document type commonly issued in Nigeria — 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. In Nigeria, the apostille process is handled by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Documents must typically be original or certified true copies and may require prior authentication by the issuing Ministry or relevant government agency before being presented for an apostille. The apostille confirms the signature and seal of the official who issued the document. It is essential for documents like academic certificates, corporate records, and vital records to be recognized legally outside of Nigeria in other Hague Convention countries.
