Authentications and Apostilles
Sometimes foreign governments need proof that Lesotho documents, or
the signatures on them are genuine before they can accept them, we
are able to certify that the signature, stamp or seal on a document
is genuine by checking it against a copy held in file of the issuing
authorities. We are able to issue authentications or Apostilles that
signatures, stamps or official seal on a Lesotho Public Document is
not fraudulent.
Because Lesotho Honorary Consuls cannot issue authentications and
Apostilles, this process may take upto 14 days allowing for mailing
and database confirmations.
Are you a Mosotho emigrating to Canada or a returning Canadian?
The Mission is ready to assist you in all your authentication needs,
however; to avoid the inconvenience of having to obtain
authentications or Apostilles of your Lesotho documents, we
recommend that you have the following documents with you prior to
your departure from Lesotho:
1. A Police Clearance Letter.
This letter may be required for insurance purposes as well as for
applications into certain jobs in Canada.
2. Driving Record from your Lesotho Insurance Company.
This will be necessary when applying for vehicle insurance in
Canada. Remember that no driving record may mean higher premiums,
even if your license indicates that you have been driving for a long
time.
3.
Drivers License Authentication letter.
It would be advised to obtain this letter from the Transport
Department either at district traffic centres or at the Ministry of
Transport, Assissi Road, Maseru. This letter is necessary when
applying for a Driver’s License exchange in Canada. The letter
should clearly indicate the following:
·
The Bearer’s Full Names
·
The Bearer’s Passport Number
·
The Drivers License number
·
The License Issue and Expiry date
·
The CLASS/ CODE of the license (and brief description of the code)
4. Certified copies of Birth Certificates
of children born in Lesotho. Parents are issued with an original
certificate and a certified copy, however, it would be recommended
for parents to make additional copies and have them certified prior
to leaving Lesotho.
Lesotho citizens
should please take the time to complete the online Consular Register
upon arrival in Canada to facilitate delivery of services to you.
