Rwanda joins the Apostille Convention: what changes

Detail

What changed

Rwanda acceded to the Convention on 6 October 2023.¹

Since 5 June 2024, a public document from Rwanda only needs an apostille to be used in another member country, and documents from other member countries only need an apostille to be used in Rwanda.¹

Other member countries could object to the accession. Between Rwanda and a country that objected, the Convention does not apply, so check the specific pair of countries.¹
