Hague Apostille from Samoa
Get a Hague Apostille on any document issued in Samoa — fully online, tracked end-to-end, and accepted in every Hague Convention member state. Documents originating in Samoa and intended for use in other Hague Convention member countries require an Apostille. This certification verifies the authenticity of official Samoan government documents for international legal acceptance. An Apostille issued in Samoa is for use abroad, not for domestic purposes within Samoa itself.

How the Hague Apostille from Samoa 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 Samoa, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) (Matagaluega o Mataupu Tau Le Va i Fafo ma Fefa'ataua'iga) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.
We handle every document type commonly issued in Samoa — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Samoan or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Samoa, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade is the designated authority for issuing Apostilles. Documents presented for apostille must first be legalized or certified by the relevant issuing body or a Notary Public in Samoa. This ensures that the document's signature, seal, or stamp is recognized before the Apostille certificate can be affixed. An Apostille from Samoa confirms the document's validity for use in other Hague member states, facilitating international cross-border acceptance.
