Apostille Legalization Services
If you need to use U.S. documents in Nigeria, it’s important to know that Nigeria is not a signatory to the Hague Apostille Convention. This means that apostilles are not valid, and all foreign documents must be legalized through a multi-step consular authentication process to be accepted by Nigerian authorities.
Documents commonly requiring legalization include:
-
Corporate documents: certificates of incorporation, business agreements, memoranda of understanding, powers of attorney.
-
Educational records: transcripts, diplomas, teacher certifications.
-
Personal documents: birth and marriage certificates, police clearance (FBI background check), affidavits.
Legalization Process
Notarization
Required for non-government issued or personal documents.
State Authentication
