Get an apostille Burkina Faso

Authentication of U.S. documents for use abroad requires careful handling, especially in countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention. Burkina Faso is not a member, which means U.S. documents cannot receive a traditional apostille.

Instead, these documents must undergo a legalization process to be officially recognized in Burkina Faso. Apostille Corp handles only U.S.-issued documents and helps clients get an apostille for Burkina Faso efficiently, accurately, and on time.

When U.S. Documents Are Needed in Burkina Faso

U.S. documents are often necessary for travel, business, or official purposes in Burkina Faso. This includes passports, visas, and supporting legal, educational, or corporate documents. Understanding which documents require legalization before use in Burkina Faso is essential.

  • For Entry into Burkina Faso

To enter Burkina Faso, you must have a valid U.S. passport and visa. The passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your intended departure date.

All U.S. citizens traveling for tourism or business must apply for an eVisa before traveling. This electronic visa can be obtained online through official Burkinabe government channels.

During the visa application, you may need to upload or present documents such as proof of travel plans, accommodation details, and recent passport photographs.

  • For Legal and Personal Matters

Because Burkina Faso is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents intended for use in the country require an apostille rather than embassy legalization. Burkina Faso became the 75th member of the Convention in 2013, which allows U.S. documents to be legalized through the apostille process.

For example, if you are presenting a birth certificate for marriage registration or residency purposes in Burkina Faso, it must first be certified by the appropriate state office in the U.S. and then receive an apostille from the state authorities. Once apostilled, the document is recognized by Burkinabe authorities without requiring additional embassy legalization.

  • For Business and Trade

Business owners or corporations may need to present apostilled U.S. documents for commercial or financial purposes in Burkina Faso. These may include company incorporation certificates, powers of attorney, or contracts. Each document must go through the apostille process to be officially recognized by Burkinabe authorities.

Failing to properly apostille such documents can delay official procedures, business registrations, or financial transactions. We help clients prepare these documents correctly to meet Burkina Faso’s legal standards.
