Apostille for Degree Certificates
Having worked hard to earn your degree you may be offered a job to work in a country outside of the UK. Employers and visa departments will probably ask for you to get an apostille on your degree certificate.
Legalising degree certificates and other qualifications with an apostille is becoming more popular. We are pleased to assist hundreds of people every year with their important certificates.
How to get an apostille on your certificate?
We make the apostille service as simple as possible. We arrange for your document to be checked, certified by a solicitor and issued with the apostille. Just 3 steps and your document will be legalised.
Step 1. Print and complete the order form available here
Step 2. Post your original certificate to us with the order form
Step 3. The apostille will be issued and the document returned
We aim to complete most orders in just 1-2 days!
Original or Copy
We can legalise either the original document or make a photocopy and attach the apostille to the copy. Many countries will accept a certified copy of your document. However, we do recommend you check if a copy will be accepted by the organisation asking you to get your document legalised. Some countries are now requesting original documents have the apostille.
Please indicate on the order form if you would like us to ‘APOSTILLE THE ORIGINAL’ or ‘APOSTILLE A COPY’ of the certificate.
To order please post the original document to us. We recommend you use a secure delivery service.
Order by email
If you have a degree, masters or PHD from a UK university or college we can attempt to verify the document. This service will incur a small additional fee to cover our additional costs and the administration time spent checking documents.
How to order by email?
All orders by email need to complete a consent form so that we can verify your degree with the issuing university. You can print the consent form here. Please complete and sign with a pen.
Step 1. Complete the consent form
Step 2. Email a clear scan copy of your certificate with the completed consent form and provide your contact details.
Step 3. We will check the document and provide payment instructions.
Step 4. We contact the university to verify your degree.
Step 5. Apostille issued and document returned.
The verification of degree certificates can take just a few days or several weeks depending on the university that issued the document. We are happy to advise on estimiated times when requested.
If you need your degree certificate legalised quickly we recommend you post the original certificate to our office with the order form.
If the university do not respond to our enquiry we may still need to request the original documents are sent to us by post. Unfortunately some universities can take several weeks to respond to enquiries.
