Can a replacement ACCA certificate be apostilled?

Yes, the official replacement ACCA certificates are issued as digital downloads, which means they are official copies that can be used to get an apostille. Replacement ACCA certificate goes through the same legalisation process as the original documents.

What is an ACCA transcript?

An ACCA transcript confirms the results from the examinations of students, affiliates, and members. Some authorities require that you submit your ACCA transcript for attestation, like overseas British Councils.

ACCA membership must be renewed every 10 years. Exams can expire after 7 years if courses are not completed. If you need an apostille, you must have a valid ACCA membership.

Original vs digital ACCA documents

The ACCA membership can only be processed for an apostille with the original (we can not legalise a photocopy). Other awards are accepted as photocopies for legalisation. Here’s the rule of thumb:

Document type:	Acceptable for an apostille	What we need from you
Membership Certificate with red embossing	ORIGINAL ONLY	Need the physical certificate. The FCDO rejects copies.
Digitally downloaded Membership Certificate (PDF)	Certified print‑out → paper Apostille	Email the PDF; we’ll handle printing & solicitor certification.

Does ACCA expire?

ACCA membership must be renewed every 10 years. If courses are not completed, exams can expire after 7 years. If you need a UK apostille, you must have a valid ACCA membership.

If your ACCA certificate already has an apostille, make sure that your certificate is still valid. The apostille does not have an expiry date, but if your document does expire, then the apostille also becomes invalid.
