Nigeria is a West African country with a population of over 200 million people. It is the most populous country in Africa and is known for its oil reserves, vibrant culture, and diverse wildlife.
Nigeria is not a signatory to the Hague Convention, which means that documents originating from the United States must go through a lengthy process of authentication and legalization before they can be used in Nigeria.

What you need to know to legalize a document for use in Nigeria
The first step in legalizing a document for use in Nigeria is to have it notarized by a notary public. The notary public must be commissioned in the state where the document was signed. If the document is signed outside the United States, it must be notarized by a U.S. consular officer or a foreign notary whose seal and signature are recognized by the U.S. Department of State.
Once the document has been notarized, it must be authenticated by the Secretary of State’s office in the state where it was notarized. The Secretary of State will verify the notary’s commission and signature.
After the document has been authenticated by the Secretary of State, it must be legalized by the Nigerian embassy or consulate in the United States. The embassy or consulate will verify the authenticity of the document and affix an official stamp and signature.
It is important to note that the legalization process can take several weeks or even months, depending on the volume of requests being processed by the embassy or consulate. It is also important to ensure that all documents are translated into English, as this is the official language of Nigeria.
