How to collect a document already issued in Rwanda

2 min read · King Hands practical guide

Rwandan collection hands over the certificate — from the sector or the Irembo flow — checked, and moves on to the apostille (the new link since 2024). The Kigali cycle typically closes in one to two weeks.

The rite

NID/power of attorney plus the request number; the check: names, dates, the format's language.

The apostille

The designated authority apostilles in days — the single link of the new corridor. During the transition, the destination confirms which format it accepts.

Frequently asked questions
