Consular Legalisation Services | Embassy & Consulate Legalisation in London

Apostille Direct London provides professional consular legalisation services for documents that must be used in countries outside the Hague Apostille Convention.
Our experienced team works directly with embassies and consulates to make the process simple, secure, and fully compliant.

What Is Consular Legalisation?

Consular legalisation authenticates a document through the embassy or consulate of the destination country.
Unlike the Hague Apostille system, this method is required for nations that are not members of the 1961 Convention.
Once certified, your document becomes legally valid for use abroad.

This additional step ensures your papers meet that country’s official requirements, providing assurance to foreign authorities, employers, and institutions.

When Is Consular Legalisation Needed?

You may need consular legalisation when submitting documents for:

Business contracts and corporate registration
Employment or work visa applications
Marriage, family, or property matters abroad
Academic or professional qualifications
Export, trade, and shipping documentation

Because these countries do not recognise apostilles, embassy certification is the only way to make your documents legally valid overseas.

Documents We Legalise

We offer consular legalisation for a wide range of personal, academic, and commercial documents, including:

Birth, marriage, and death certificates
