Been told you need a document legalised, apostilled, attested or notarised?
The words are confusing — the solution isn’t. Most people come to us around a life event abroad: a new job, a wedding, or the expansion of a business. Find yours below, and we’ll handle every step.
Not sure which applies, or don’t see your document? We legalise every genuine UK document — tell us the destination country, and we’ll confirm the exact route for free.
Two routes to legalise a UK document — and we’ll tell you which is yours
Which route you need depends entirely on the destination country. Countries in the Hague Apostille Convention accept an FCDO apostille on its own.
Countries outside it need that apostille plus attestation by their embassy in London. Tell us where the documents are going, and we’ll confirm the exact route in minutes.
Not sure which applies? Tell us your destination country, and we’ll confirm the route and price, free.
How it works — we handle every step
Once we’ve confirmed your route, you send us your document, and we do the rest — certification, the FCDO apostille, any embassy attestation, and secure return. You don’t chase government offices or embassies; we do.
Most people never set foot in our office.
The five steps
Wherever you are: you never need to visit us. Post or courier your document, or order online 24/7 — and we return it worldwide, fully tracked. London-based, working for clients across the globe.
Get it right first time — and avoid a rejection.
Most rejections come down to a handful of avoidable issues. Here’s how to make sure your document is accepted — and what gets documents turned away. Not sure? Our free check catches these before anything is submitted.

Built by us, free for you — tools that take the guesswork out
Legalisation goes wrong when people guess — wrong route, wrong certification, a signatory the FCDO doesn’t recognise. So we built the tools to remove the guesswork. They’re free, and they’re the reason our clients rarely see a rejection.
These aren’t generic widgets — we built each one from thousands of real cases. They’re free to use, with no account and no obligation, because getting it right the first time is the whole point.
Behind the scenes, every solicitor and notary we use is checked against our own register of FCDO-recognised signatories before we submit — so your document is never refused over a signature the FCDO doesn’t accept. (One of the most common reasons documents get rejected.)
Clear pricing — from £87, with no surprises
A standard UK apostille starts from £87, with next-day and digital options available. Embassy legalisation is priced per country and document because every consulate charges differently — so we give you one clear, all-inclusive quote before any work begins. No hidden fees, no surprises.
Whatever your document and destination, you’ll always know the total cost upfront — confirmed in writing before we start.
Why people trust us with their documents
Legalisation is high-stakes — a rejection means lost time, lost fees, and a missed deadline abroad. People choose us because we get it right the first time and handle the whole thing so they don’t have to.
The whole process, managed end to end
Solicitor certification, the FCDO apostille, embassy attestation, translation — one team, one point of contact, from your document to its destination. You never coordinate between offices.
15+ years spotting problems before they cost you
Wrong certification, an unregistered signatory, a laminated document — we catch the issues that get documents rejected before they’re ever submitted. That’s experience you can’t shortcut.
Embassy legalisation is our speciality
The hard, multi-step routes — UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, and beyond — are what we do most often. We know each consulate’s quirks, so non-Hague cases that catch others out are routine for us.
Real people and a guarantee behind it, too, for you
Registered with the FCDO Legalisation Office, with genuine human support — no call centres. And if a document is rejected due to our handling, we put it right or refund. Simple.
Wherever your documents are going, you’ll have one expert team making sure they arrive correct, accepted, and on time.
