01Route

We confirm the route first.

Whether a U.S. document for Ghana needs an apostille or embassy legalization depends on Ghana’s current status under the Hague Apostille Convention and on what the receiving office asks for. We do not guess. Before anything is submitted, we check Ghana’s entry in the official HCCH status table, confirm the route with you, and quote it. If the route is legalization, the document goes through the issuing state, the U.S. Department of State and the Embassy of Ghana in Washington, DC.

We do not give immigration or legal advice.
