FAQs
What is legalisation?
Legalisation is a necessary process for ensuring the validity and authenticity of official documents when used internationally. It involves verifying the signature, stamp, and seal of a document by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in the UK, after which it is issued with an apostille. This certification serves as proof that the document has been properly legalised.
With legalisation, documents issued in the UK can be used overseas, and vice versa, making it an essential step for individuals and businesses engaging in international transactions or legal proceedings. Without legalisation, documents may be rejected or deemed invalid in other countries, potentially causing significant delays or complications.

What is an apostille?
An apostille is a certificate that verifies the authenticity of an official document and confirms that it has been properly legalised for use in other countries. In the UK, apostille certificates are issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
Apostille certificates are recognized by 124 countries worldwide and are crucial for individuals and businesses engaging in international transactions or legal proceedings. Each country issues its own apostille certificates and accepts those issued by others.
The information contained in an apostille certificate includes the country of issuance, document type, signatory name, and official stamp or seal, among other details. This information provides assurance to foreign authorities that the document is genuine and legally binding.
What is the FCDO?
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) is a UK government department responsible for overseeing the country's international relations and development assistance. The FCDO is also responsible for issuing apostille certificates, also known as the Apostille Office.
The FCDO plays a vital role in facilitating international trade, travel, and legal proceedings by verifying the authenticity of official documents and ensuring that they are properly legalised. This process involves verifying the signature, stamp, and seal of a document before issuing an apostille certificate, which serves as proof of legalisation.
As an essential government department, the FCDO is committed to promoting the UK's interests abroad, providing assistance to British nationals overseas, and supporting development initiatives in other countries.
What is consular legalisation?
Consular legalisation is the process of authenticating an official document by a foreign consulate or embassy in addition to legalisation by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). This is required for countries that are not signatories to the Apostille Convention and do not issue or accept apostille certificates.
The consular legalisation process varies by country and can be more time-consuming and costly than obtaining an apostille. However, it is a necessary step for individuals and businesses engaging in international transactions or legal proceedings with non-Apostille countries.
During the consular legalisation process, the document is submitted to the relevant embassy or consulate, where it undergoes additional verification and authentication. Once complete, the embassy or consulate issues a certificate confirming the document's legalisation status.
It's essential to ensure that you follow the correct legalisation procedures to avoid any potential complications or delays when using official documents internationally.
What is the Hague Convention ?
The Hague Convention, which eliminates the need for legalization of foreign public documents among its member countries, streamlines the process of document authentication. While member countries no longer require an embassy stamp, most still necessitate the legalization of these documents by the foreign office of the issuing country.
As for countries that are not members of the Hague Convention, they may require foreign documents to be legalized by their respective embassies. Each of these countries has distinct requirements for document legalization through their embassies, highlighting the varying procedures and protocols involved in the process.
