An education certificate is an official document issued by a UK school, college, or university confirming the completion of a course or qualification. This includes GCSEs, A-levels, diplomas, degrees, and postgraduate awards.

This document is often requested by:

• Foreign universities and academic institutions
• Immigration and visa authorities
• International employers or professional bodies
• Scholarship providers and government departments

Certification required: The certificate must be certified by a UK solicitor or notary public before it can be apostilled. If it was issued by a university, a certified copy may be required from the awarding body.

Original document: The apostille will be applied to the certified original or a solicitor-certified copy.

Eligible for e-apostille: This document can be processed electronically if certified with a qualified electronic signature by a UK solicitor or notary.

Only certificates from recognised UK institutions are accepted.

Documents must show the full name of the recipient, qualification title, date of award, and issuing body.

Some countries may require a certified translation and further embassy legalisation after apostille. Always check destination country requirements.
