How to check whether Nepal has joined

Countries join the Apostille Convention from time to time. The Hague Conference keeps the list of members in its status table. We last checked it on 18 October 2026, when Nepal was not on it.¹

Other direction

If your document comes from a member country

An apostille from a contracting party does not by itself make a document usable in Nepal. Ask the authority in Nepal that will receive the document which steps it requires. An apostille only confirms the signature, the role of the person who signed and any seal or stamp on the document. It does not confirm what the document says. The office that receives the document decides what it accepts.
