how to get a KENYAN APOSTILLe

overview of KEnyan apostille procedure

​

​When would I need an Kenyan document apostilled?

​

If you need to use Kenyan documents abroad, you may need to have them apostilled by the Kenyan High Commision in London. The Department nor The Apostilles Group are unable to advise on whether a document needs to be apostilled. This is down to whomever the document is to be presented to.

​

Who can authenticate documents?

​

​The Kenyan High Commision in London can only apostille documents created in Kenya to be used in other countries.  All documents must either be created in Kenya or have an Kenyan link. The Kenyan High Commision in London reserves the right to refuse to apostille any documents which they deem not to have an Kenyan link.

​

All documents to be apostilled must bear an original signature, seal or stamp from an Kenyan practising public official or government department.

 

Remember... - VERY important

 

It is absolutely essential to provide your original passport alongside your document to be legalised. No legalisation will take place without the subject's original passport.

Documents the apostilles group can apostille

- Original certificates (e.g. birth, marriage, death)

 

- Educational certificates and qualifications recognised by the Department of Education
