Senegal joins the Apostille Convention: what changes
Detail
What changed
Senegal acceded to the Convention on 13 July 2022.1
Since 23 March 2023, a public document from Senegal 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 Senegal.1
Other member countries could object to the accession. Between Senegal and a country that objected, the Convention does not apply, so check the specific pair of countries.1
