Statute overview

About this statute

Rwanda accedes to the Convention on legalisation of foreign public documents, which then becomes fully effective. The named ministers are responsible for implementing the Order, and Contracting States must exempt covered documents from legalisation. Each contracting state must designate the authorities that can issue the apostille and notify the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs, including any later changes. This Order enters into force on the date it is published in the Official Gazette of Rwanda. A certificate/apostille is issued at the request of the signer or any bearer, and its signature, seal, and stamp are exempt from certification.
