The full order process

Step one:

We need to receive the original diploma even if you want to apostille a copy. Check if you need to apostille the exam transcript too.

Step two:

Contact our office.

When emailing, please provide the following information:

• In which country will your certificate be used?
• How soon do you need the apostille?
• Do you also require embassy legalisation?
• How will the ACCA be delivered and returned?

When we have all the information, the team will assess your enquiry and give you a detailed quotation.

If you accept the quotation, we will send an invoice to be paid, and the process of getting an apostille starts.

Step three:

As soon as your ACCA diploma or certificate has been apostilled, we will send you a scanned copy via email.

If you are not collecting your apostilled document from our London office – we will provide you with the DHL tracking number given by the courier.

Note that we return documents by DHL courier only. If you want to make other arrangements, please let us know.

How much does it cost?

The cost of getting an apostille for an ACCA certificate starts from £110. (includes solicitor fees, FCDO fees, & VAT).

Other costs will depend on what service you choose (standard or same-day service) if you also need embassy attestation, and what return delivery method has been chosen.

Additional cost examples are:

• Same day or express service (+ £123)
• UK return delivery costs (+ £20)
• Notarisation by notary public (+ £90)
• Embassy attestation/legalisation (from £75)

Our standard processing time for getting an apostille is 2-3 days.

Here is what 2 to 3 days mean:

• If your documents arrive by 10 am, it will take 2 days to process your documents + next-day return delivery.
• If your documents arrive after 10 am, then it would take 3 days to apostille your documents + next day return delivery.

We also offer a same-day apostille service.

• Documents must arrive before 10 am for the same-day service.
• Documents can be collected around 4 pm the same day.
• Discover how the same-day apostille service works

Same-day service assumes you can drop off and collect your documents on the same day at our London office.

If a mailing or courier service is utilised, the same day becomes a 24-hour service.

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.

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.

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.

Attesting ACCA qualifications with embassies in London is straightforward and requires only a few steps depending on the requesting countries authority.

A reminder each country has different requirements for authenticating documents. Please enquire and let us know why countries embassy your ACCA document needs to be attested with. We will support you in getting your ACCA attested.

You must only attend in person if a notary public must notarise your ACCA documents. Please let us know if you need notarisation.
