Planning to expand your business into Juba or relocating for humanitarian, oil & gas, or government projects? Documents issued in the United States must go through a formal Embassy Legalization process to be legally recognized in South Sudan. Since South Sudan is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, a standard Apostille is not sufficient, and full legalization is required.
At US Apostille, we provide fast, secure authentication for documents destined for South Sudan. Our Washington D.C. processing hub enables daily hand delivery to federal agencies and the embassy, ensuring your documents are handled efficiently and without delays.
