Affidavit
An affidavit is a sworn statement. Affidavits may be used in many different situations for many different purposes. We will furnish you with a blank affidavit form for you to write out almost any statement you may wish to make. You will need to sign it in front of a Consul. Fee: $50 for each affidavit.
Verification of Single Status
Uganda requires all foreigners who marry in Uganda, whether they are marrying other foreigners or Ugandan nationals, to certify that they are single and have it notarized by their own country’s embassy, affirming that they are legally free to marry The Embassy cannot verify your single status. However, we can witness your signature on an affidavit you provide saying you are free to marry. We are notarizing only the signature and not its contents. Fee: $50 per notarial
Certificate of Good Conduct
Some Ugandan authorities may ask for a certificate of good conduct for U.S. citizens.
The Embassy cannot verify good conduct. However, if you contact your U.S.-based local law enforcement branch, they can run your name, date of birth and/or social security number through the FBI’s nationwide background check system (CJIS) and provide you with those results at a cost. Fee: $50 per notarial
Applications For Ugandan Certificate of Good Conduct
A person requiring a letter of good conduct should visit the Uganda Police website (https://www.upf.go.ug/) where they will access the application form before proceeding to pay fees to the bank or using mobile money and visa card. The applicant is then required to book an appointment and will be required to present two passport photos, a copy of their passport and proof of payment before appearing at the Interpol Uganda office in person to have their fingerprints captured. The letter or certificate of good conduct will then be ready for collection in approximately five to seven days.
Power of Attorney
A power of attorney allows you to designate someone to take legal actions on your behalf. A common example of this is empowering someone else to buy or sell property in the U.S. in your name while you are overseas. We cannot advise you on the specific language or content of a power of attorney, so you may wish to consult a lawyer or other appropriate advisor before coming to see us to have your power of attorney notarized.You must provide your own power of attorney form or have one supplied to you by your attorney, bank, or company.Please fill out the form before you come to our offices, but do not sign it in advance. You will sign in the presence of a Consul. Fee: $50 per power of attorney
Acknowledgement of Signature
An Acknowledgement of Signature or Acknowledgement of Execution is a notary which verifies that a particular person signed a given document. It is often used for legal agreements, business documents, etc. It is also used when more than two signatures are required on the document but all of the parties who must sign are not present. We can notarize (or acknowledge) only the signatures of those who are present to sign in front of us or appear in front of us and verify that they have signed the document. Fee: $50 for each document or seal.
Certification of True Copies of Documents
We often get requests to certify true copies of educational transcripts or diplomas, bank statements, court documents, or other such official records. Unfortunately, our offices cannot ordinarily provide certified true copies of documents. Such requests should usually be addressed to the office which issued the document in question. For example, certified true copies of academic records should be requested from the registrar of the institution that originally issued them.
Signature (or “Medallion”) Guarantees
Medallion signature guarantees are often required by U.S. banks or mutual fund companies. Unfortunately, we cannot legally perform a signature guarantee.A Medallion Signature Guarantee is not a notarial service, but rather a special procedure related to securities, which can only be performed by an authorized representative of a financial institution participating in a medallion program approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). U.S. consular officers are not authorized to provide a signature guarantee/medallion guarantee service.The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may be contacted directly via their internet website, via phone at 1-800-SEC-0330 (investor assistance and complaints), via fax at 202-942-7040, or by mail at Mail Stop 11-2, 450 Fifth Street N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549.
Registering an NGO
The U.S. Embassy does not provide letters of recommendation for the purpose of registering an NGO in Uganda. We can provide an Acknowledgement Certificate that confirms the identity of the signing U.S. Citizen. This document will be attached to your introductory letter, written by yourself, regarding your NGO and addressed to the National NGO Board, Ministry of International Affairs, Uganda.
