LEGALISATION

Legalisation is a process whereby a Government Official
counter-signs your document/s after the Notary has
signed. Usually it is to confirm that the Notary signature
and seal appearing on your document/s are genuinely that
of the relevant Notary Public.
Not all countries require legalistion.

The Government Official that counter-signs your document/s may either be from the Foreign
and Commonwealth Office, or from the Embassy or Consulate relating to the County to which you are
sending your document/s.

In some cases you will be required to have your
document/s legalised from both the Foreign and
Commonwealth Office and an Embassy/Consulate.

Legalisation fees vary from Embassy to Embassy.
The current fee to have a document legalised from
the Foreign and Commonweath Office is £27 per
document.
