How to get the Apostilled Document

1. Obtain the Original Document

The first step is to obtain the original document that needs to be Apostilled. This could be a birth certificate, marriage certificate, diploma, or any other public document.

2. Check Eligibility

Not all documents are eligible for an Apostille. The FCDO website provides a list of documents that can and cannot be Apostilled.

3. Get the Document Certified

Before an Apostille can be issued, the document must be certified by a relevant authority, such as a solicitor, notary public or government office. The certification will verify that the document is genuine and the signature on the document is authentic.

4. Order and Pay Online

Once the document has been certified, it can be submitted to the FCDO for Apostille processing. The FCDO offers both standard and premium service options, with the standard service taking up to 5 working days and the premium service taking up to 1 working day.

5. Receive the Apostilled Document

Once the FCDO has issued the Apostille, it will be attached to the original document and returned to the applicant via post.
