Apostille services in Kano State
Apostilles for documents issued in Hague Convention countries, and the right route for Nigerian documents.
Capital: KanoNorth West zone
An apostille is a single certificate that makes a public document valid in every country that has joined the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. It is issued by the country where the document was produced.
From Kano to Wudil, Bichi and Gaya, we help residents of Kano State get their documents ready for use in Nigeria and abroad. Tell us what you need, send a scan, and we reply with a fixed quote.
At the time of writing, Nigeria is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so documents issued in Nigeria cannot receive an apostille. They go through legalisation instead: authentication by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Abuja, then the embassy of the destination country. We tell you which route applies, and we obtain apostilles in the issuing country through our international offices when your document comes from the UK, the US, Canada, the EU, Switzerland or another member state.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get an apostille on a Nigerian document in Kano State?
Not at present. Nigeria has not joined the Apostille Convention, so Nigerian documents are authenticated by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then legalised by the destination country's embassy. We handle that process for you under our embassy legalisation service.
I studied in the UK and live in Kano State. Can you apostille my degree?
Yes. Our UK office can have the degree verified and apostilled by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, then courier it to you in Nigeria.
Does an apostille replace a translation?
No. An apostille confirms that a signature or seal is genuine; it does not translate the content. If the receiving country uses another language, you will usually need a certified translation too.
