The initiative rolled out on Wednesday, June 5, 2024, makes the legalization process for public documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates and death certificates faster, simpler, and digitized through the use of electronic Apostilles (e-Apostilles). <\/p>\n

“Rwandan documents intended for use abroad will be processed digitally and accessible through the Irembo e-government platform [https:\/\/irembo.gov.rw->https:\/\/irembo.gov.rw]. Foreign documents apostilled abroad will be directly usable in Rwanda,” officials said, adding, “This initiative aligns with Rwanda’s efforts to deliver digital and citizen-centred public services.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Irembo portal has expanded its services to include:<\/p>\n

-Legalization of Power of Attorney for property transfer
\n-Issuance of diplomatic plate numbers
\n-Recommendation letters for Rwandans abroad for land-related services
\n-Issuance of Note-Verbale for Rwandan officials on official missions<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Notably, the new e-Apostilles service is only available to members of the Hague Apostille Convention.<\/p>\n
