An apostille is a certificate that authenticates a public document for use in another member country of the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention. It is issued by the competent authority of the country where the document was issued.
South Sudanese documents are generally authenticated through the legalization route (ministry and embassy) rather than by apostille. For documents issued in Apostille Convention countries — for example a foreign diploma, company document or certificate — we obtain the apostille in the issuing country through the ABC Translation network and add a certified translation if needed.
