Apostille in Burundi
Burundi is party to the Hague Convention: an apostille makes your documents valid in over 120 countries without consular legalization.
An apostille is a single certificate, issued by the competent authority of the country that issued the document, confirming the authenticity of the signature and seal. Because Burundi has acceded to the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention, an apostilled Burundian document is recognised directly in the other member states – Belgium, France, Canada, the United States, Germany, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, China and many more.
We first check that your document is eligible and carries the required prior signatures, prepare the translation if needed, then file and collect the apostille for you. For foreign documents to be used in Burundi, our international network can obtain the apostille in the issuing country.

Frequently asked questions
Apostille or embassy legalization?
If the destination country is party to the Hague Convention, an apostille is enough. If not, legalization by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs followed by the embassy or consulate is required. We check this for you.
Should the translation or the original be apostilled?
It depends on the country: sometimes the original only, sometimes both the original and the translation. We follow the requirements of the receiving authority.
