Why Embassy Attestation is NOT Required

China has signed up to the Hague Apostille Convention which entered into force on 7th November 2023. This removes the requirement for the embassy attestation stamps on UK documents. The embassy will NOT accept any document for further legalisation as it is not required.

Vietnam Apostille FAQ’s

Which countries accept apostilles?2025-10-27T14:51:56+00:00

All countries that are members of the 1961 Hague Convention accept apostilles. Members of the 1961 Hague Convention both accept and issue apostilles. You can view a list of member countries HERE.

What is an apostille?2025-10-16T10:39:06+00:00

An apostille is an official certificate issued by the UK Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that verifies the authenticity of a document for use in another country.

The apostille certificate confirms the signature, seal or stamp on a UK document to be genuine so that it will be accepted when presented in another country outside of the UK.

How long does the apostille service take?2025-09-12T10:12:35+00:00

Most documents are completed in just 1 or 2 working days. 98% of documents complete in 2 working days. However, for clarity, we cannot guarantee processing times. Where this is not possible we will try to contact you with advice on your documents.

Every effort is made to complete all orders as quick as possible. Some documents get delayed and you can read more on apostille processing times page.

Is there a same day apostille service?2025-06-26T13:49:28+00:00

In the UK there is no same day counter service for the public to obtain the apostille certificate. Our service ensures your document is processed in just a few days. If you need an apostille urgently we can provide a next day apostille service. Please contact us for our price and processing times.

What if my document originates from a country that is not a member of The Hague Convention?2025-06-26T13:54:37+00:00

In some cases we can arrange for a UK apostille to be issued but it will depend on your document. If you have any doubts we recommend that you speak to your country’s embassy or consulate for more advice.

It is important that you understand we issue UK apostilles on UK documents. If you send us a non UK document and we are able to process your document it will be issued with a UK apostille. You should check if this is suitable in the country where your document is to be presented.

Can all documents be issued with an apostille?2025-06-26T13:52:34+00:00

Nearly all UK documents can be issued with the apostille certificate. There are a few exceptions that include home office documents that are for use within the UK only. We will let you know immediately if your document cannot be legalised and provide a full refund for our service.

We do not issue apostilles on ‘purchased online’ degrees or false documents. We are a reputable legalisation service. We are pleased to issue the apostille on genuine qualifications but we do not support any individual or online retailer deliberately trying to mislead prospective employers. Sorry, but we have a reputation to maintain.

We do not add the apostille to company documents that ‘claim’ to offer degree level education.

When do I need an apostille?2025-06-26T13:48:34+00:00

If you have a document that was issued in a country that is a member of The Hague Convention and it is being presented in another country that is a member of The Hague Convention, then it is likely that you will need an apostille. If you have been asked to get an apostille then your document may not be accepted without one. You can find a list of Hague Countries that issues and request apostilles on our website.

Do I need a UK apostille in the UK?2025-06-26T13:54:31+00:00

If your document was created or issued in the UK then it will be accepted in the UK without the apostille. It is not necessary to legalise UK documents unless you are using them outside of the UK.

If your UK issued document is being used ‘outside’ of the UK, in another country, you may well need an apostille on the document.
