Frequently asked questions
Does Nigeria require consular legalization?
Yes. Nigeria is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so U.S. documents require full consular legalization: state and U.S. Department of State authentication, followed by legalization at the Nigeria embassy or consulate.
Where do I get my assignment notarized?
Sign it before a notary in Massachusetts. The notary must attach one of Massachusetts’s approved notarial certificates — a jurat or an acknowledgment — worded exactly as the state requires, since the wrong wording is the most common cause of rejection.
How long does it take to legalize a document for Nigeria?
A typical single-document order takes about 23 business days once we have your documents, so an order placed today would be ready around October 26, 2026. Timelines exclude shipping and can vary with government processing and consular queues.
How much does it cost to legalize a assignment for Nigeria?
Our fee for a single assignment for Nigeria starts at $887.60. That excludes document scanning ($1 per page) and return or forwarding shipping; applicable government and consular fees are included. Use the estimator above to price multiple documents.
Do I need to send you the original documents?
Yes. Apostilles and consular legalization are affixed to original, wet-ink or officially certified documents, so we work with the physical originals. We return the finished, legalized originals to you — or ship them anywhere in the world, including directly to your foreign agent.
