Embassy & Consulate Legalization in Uganda
Full legalization chains for Ugandan and foreign documents: Ministry of Foreign Affairs authentication and embassy or consulate attestation.
When a country does not accept apostilles, or when the document comes from or goes to a non-Convention country such as Uganda, the document must be legalized step by step: verified by the issuing body, authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then attested by the embassy or consulate of the country where it will be used. ABC Translation manages each step, tracks your file and makes sure translations are legalized in the right order, so your documents are not rejected at the last stage.

Frequently asked questions
How long does embassy legalization take?
It depends on the document, the issuing authority and the embassy's processing times. Many files are completed within one to three weeks. We give you a realistic timeline with your quote.
Should the translation be legalized too?
Often, yes. Some embassies want the original legalized and then translated; others want the translation itself legalized. We check the rules for your destination country so the steps happen in the correct order.
