Notice : The Hague Adoption Convention Enters into Force for Namibia on January 1, 2016

The Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-Operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (the Convention) will enter into force for Namibia on January 1, 2016. On December 9, 2015, the Department of State received notification that Namibia had deposited its instruments of accession to the Convention. The Department is currently working to determine whether it will be able to process intercountry adoptions from Namibia once the Convention is in force.

The Department of State will provide a subsequent notice with its determination about Namibia.
