Apostille & Legalization for Nigeria
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in Nigeria: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
Nigeria is not a Hague Convention member, so an apostille alone is not accepted. The document must be authenticated by the U.S. Department of State and then legalized at the Nigeria embassy or consulate.
If you are sending a U.S. document to Nigeria — for employment, education, business, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before Nigeria authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what Nigeria requires and how we handle it end to end.
