Hague Apostille from Tanzania

How the Hague Apostille from Tanzania 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 Tanzania, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation (Wizara ya Mambo ya Nje na Ushirikiano wa Afrika Mashariki) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Tanzania — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Swahili or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Tanzania, documents requiring an Apostille are processed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and East African Cooperation. The process typically involves presenting the original document, which must first be authenticated by the relevant issuing body or a notary public in Tanzania, depending on the document type. Once issued, the Tanzanian Apostille facilitates the legal use of these documents in any other country that is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention, eliminating further legalization steps by embassies or consulates.
