Securing a Class D Work Permit for Nairobi or registering a business in Mombasa? Documents issued in the United States must undergo a formal Consular Legalization process to be recognized by Kenyan authorities. Since Kenya is not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Apostille will be rejected by Kenyan Immigration and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
At US Apostille, we specialize in the specific authentication standards of the Embassy of Kenya in Washington, D.C. and the Kenya Consulate in Los Angeles. We provide a seamless, hand-carry service to ensure your personal and corporate documents are fully legalized for immediate use in the Republic of Kenya.
To ensure 100% compliance with Kenyan law, your documents must follow this official chain of custody:
State Certification: Notarization and certification from the Secretary of State where the document was issued.
Federal Authentication: Mandatory "Great Seal" from the U.S. Department of State in Washington, D.C.
Consular Legalization: Final authentication stamp from the Embassy of Kenya.
Local Use: Your document is now ready for submission to the eCitizen/eFNS portal or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nairobi.
Processing time and fees depend on the destination country.

Academic Certificates: Kenya’s Directorate of Immigration Services (eFNS) requires certified copies of all degrees and professional certificates. We ensure these are authenticated at the federal and embassy levels.
FBI Background Checks: Crucial for work permit approval and residency. We provide expedited D.C. processing for these federal documents.
Certificates of Incorporation: Necessary for registering a foreign company or obtaining a PIN from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).
Power of Attorney: Specially legalized for legal representatives or directors managing corporate affairs in Kenya.
Tax Compliance Documents: Legalized for corporate renewals and government tenders.
Birth & Marriage Certificates: For family reunification and dependent pass applications.
Identity Documents: We assist in the official authentication of U.S. passport copies for use in Kenyan legal filings
The "MFA eCitizen" Update: While many Kenyan services have moved to the mfa.ecitizen.go.ke platform, foreign documents must still bear a physical embassy stamp from Washington D.C. before they can be uploaded or verified locally.
Identity Verification: For 2026, the Embassy strictly requires a copy of the applicant's valid passport to be attached to each legalization request. We ensure your submission package is complete to avoid immediate administrative rejection.
Fee Precision: Consular fees for authentication are typically $50 per document (payable via Money Order or Cashier's Check). We manage these payments on your behalf to ensure zero processing delays.
