Dear Madam / Sir,

Please find attached an invitation letter from the Secretary General of
the HCCH.

The Secretary General invites the Competent Authority(ies) of your State
to participate in the 14th International Forum on the electronic Apostille
Programme (e-APP Forum), which will take place on Tuesday 12 May and
Wednesday 13 May 2026 in Marrakech, Morocco. The e-APP Forum will be held
for the first time in Africa and will be organised by the HCCH Regional
Office for Africa, with the support of the Ministry of Justice of Morocco.

Since its launch in 2006, the e-APP has become an integral part of the
operation of the Apostille Convention, to which your State is a
Contracting Party. Over the past twenty years, the e-APP (comprising an
e-Apostille and an e-Register component) has played a key role in ensuring
the practical, effective, and secure operation of the Convention amid
ongoing technological developments. The Forum will provide an excellent
opportunity to learn more about, and exchange experiences on, the
operation of the e-APP.

The Permanent Bureau would be grateful for the assistance of the National
Organ in transmitting this invitation to the relevant officials and
Competent Authority(ies) designated by your State under the Apostille
Convention.

The Permanent Bureau thanks you in advance for your cooperation and looks
forward to meeting you in Marrakech.

Sincerely,
