Apostille
Apostille in Zimbabwe
An apostille is a form of certification that confirms a public document issued in one country is authentic and valid for use in another country. It verifies the signature, seal, and authority of the official who issued the document.
This system was established under the Hague Apostille Convention, an international treaty that simplifies the legalization of documents between member countries.
Is Apostille Available in Zimbabwe?
Zimbabwe is not currently a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, which means documents issued in Zimbabwe usually cannot receive a standard apostille certificate.
Instead, documents normally go through authentication and embassy legalization before they can be used abroad.
This process serves the same purpose as an apostille but involves additional verification steps.
