Certify documents issued in over 100 countries for official use in Kenya

Isarey works across multiple jurisdictions to legalize international documents so that they are valid for submission to Kenyan authorities.

We legalize all types of official documents for use in Kenya, including identity documents, birth and marriage certificates, criminal record certificates, academic diplomas and corporate documents.

We work locally with certification specialists, notaries, law firms and certifiedSwahili and Englishtranslators in over 100 countries, certifying documents for use in Kenya, including documents issued in:

Certified Translation

When documents are written in a language that is not an official language of Kenya, then a certified translation may also be required. It is important to ensure that the certified translation is valid for use in Kenya. Translations not done in Kenya may require separate legalization alongside the original document.

Isarey provides document attestation services to private, corporate and institutional clients worldwide. Our presence in different jurisdictions and our local experience and expertise dealing directly with authorities and embassies in different countries means we can save you time, frustration and money, ensuring that documents are properly prepared so that they are accepted by Kenyan authorities.
