If the country where you are going to use your translated document is not party to The Hague Convention 1961, authentication (or legalisation) by the consulate of the country in question is often required.
In some cases, legalisation by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Apostille) must be carried out before taking the document to the consulate, but sometimes the translated document can be taken directly to the consulate for legalisation.
As the requirement for consular legalisation vary from country to country, we advise you to contact the consulate, high commission or embassy of the country concerned and ask them directly what is required.
We will be happy to take care of consular legalisation of your translated documents, and any original documents, if required.
Our fee for this service is currently £150; plus the appropriate consular fees.
Contact us should you have any questions about consular legalisation and we will do our best to help you.
