Document Verification

Many documents can be emailed to us for the purpose of being issued with the apostille. In certain cases we may need to carry out some additional verification checks. Please only purchase these services if instructed to do so by a member of the legalisation team.

Verification - Degree Certificate

If you do not have access to your original degree certificate or would prefer not to send this to us we can arrange for a copy of the document to be verified and legalised. In order to do so we need a clear copy of the document and a completed consent form. The time scale for verifying a degree certificate is approximately 5-10 days, however, this varies for different universities. Some universities take longer, especially if they are very busy. The fee for the additional verification of a degree certificate is £50.00.*

* Some Universities charge higher fees to verify documents. As a result of this we reserve the right to request a further verification fee if the institute that issued the document charges more then £50.00. This affects very few universities.


Verification - Other Documents

In certain cases we must carry out additional verification checks. This may be needed for documents that are not easily verifiable, i.e. .pension letters or employment documents. A member of the team will advise you if this service is needed. The fee for the additional verification checks is £30.00.
