Botswana keeps a single consular office in the United States, in Washington. This page gives what we hold for it and links the six consular procedures Botswana citizens ask about most.
The office below carries the address and telephone we hold for it, and its official website where the mission publishes one. Where a field is missing it is because we do not have it, not because it does not exist.

Botswana has been a party to the Hague Apostille Convention since 30 September 1966. A U.S. birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma or power of attorney needs an apostille from the Secretary of State of the state that issued it — not a consular legalisation. The office above does not need to stamp it, and should not charge you to.
