Apostille Services in Uganda
We obtain apostilles on documents issued in Hague Convention countries, and advise when Ugandan documents need full legalization instead.
An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public document so it can be used in another country that belongs to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. Uganda is not currently a party to the Convention, so Ugandan documents going abroad are usually legalized through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the destination country's embassy instead. Through our international network, ABC Translation obtains apostilles directly in the country where your document was issued (for example the UK, USA, Germany, France, India or South Africa) and combines them with certified translation, so you receive one finished file.

Frequently asked questions
Can a Ugandan document get an apostille?
Uganda is not currently a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so Ugandan public documents are generally authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalized by the embassy of the destination country. We handle that full chain for you. Rules change, so we always confirm the current route before starting.
My document was issued in Europe but I live in Uganda. Can you still help?
Yes. Our offices and partners abroad can obtain the apostille in the issuing country and courier the document to you in Uganda, or straight to the authority that needs it.
