Apostille & Legalisation Services
We are experts in providing fast document legalisation and apostille services in the UK and can perform document translation services too if needed.
FCDO Legalisation For Documents
We provide a full legalisation service in addition to translating and notarising your documents. This is necessary for anyone presenting documents to the FCDO or a foreign country’s consulate or embassy.
Our apostille services make it easy to get your documents legally recognised overseas. We can take care of the Apostille Legalisation process by liaising with the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO – previously known as FCO apostille).
Apostille Service
An apostille certificate is required to prove the authenticity of official documents in countries that are part of the Hague Convention, including most of Europe, the USA, India, Spain, Portugal, Dubai and many others.
It replaces the need for embassy or consular legalisation, helping you avoid delays and extra paperwork.
We provide fast and reliable apostille services to ensure your documents are accepted abroad.
Embassy & Consular Legalisation
Countries that are not part of the Hague Convention require full consular legalisation. So countries like the UAE, China, Vietnam and Egypt don’t accept apostille certificates.
Instead, documents must be legalised by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), then further legalised at the relevant embassy or consulate.
We can manage the entire legalisation process to ensure your documents meet all requirements.
Apostille Legalisation Prices
*An additional £62.38 is charged to cover the FCDO and agent fees.
** Cost may vary depending on your postcode.
