Remote Online Notarization in Rwanda

How Remote Online Notarization works in Rwanda

Remote Online Notarization lets residents, businesses and expats in Rwanda request notarial services entirely online, in English, Kinyarwanda or any other language. Our certified notaries verify your identity, apply a legally recognized notarial seal and signature, and issue notarized documents accepted by Ministry of Justice (MINIJUST) / Notary Public (Umwanditsi Mukuru) (Ministeri y'Ubutabera (MINIJUST) / Umwanditsi Mukuru Wabugenewe Utanga Serivisi za Notariya) and by ministries, courts, banks, registries and embassies worldwide.

Notary7 delivers every type of notarial act for Rwanda — including all forms of signature notarization and certified true copy notarization, sworn declarations and corporate acts — issued digitally or, where required, with an original wet-ink signature and seal. In Rwanda, notarization is typically carried out by a Notary Public, who is an official appointed by the Ministry of Justice. For documents originating outside Rwanda but intended for use within, they may require notarization in the country of origin, followed by apostille or consular legalization, depending on whether the originating country is a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention. Documents notarized through Notary7 are prepared to meet these international standards, ensuring their acceptance across borders, including within Rwanda's legal framework.
