Schmidt & Schmidt offers the legalization of documents from Zambia.

Zambia did not accede to the Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalization for Foreign Public Documents. All documents issued abroad will only be recognised in Zambia if they are legalized, meaning their authenticity must be separately confirmed.

Legalization of foreign documents for use in Zambia

Any foreign public document can be authorised at the zambian embassy in the respective country of origin.

Legalization of zambian documents

Some countries (e.g. Germany) have currently discontinued the legalization of public documents from Zambia due to formal reasons. Please contact us for further information on whether or not this limitation is relevant in your case.

The processing of documents usually takes us about 14 days.
