Apostille for Bahrain

Notarisation of Documents for Bahrain

If you require an apostille for Bahrain, you must follow a clear legalisation process before the documents can be accepted. First, you should ensure the documents are correctly notarised. This step is important because it allows the documents to move smoothly through the next stages. As a result, delays and rejections are far less likely.

Legalisation and Apostille Requirements for Bahrain

Documents for use in Bahrain must first receive Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) legalisation. After this, you must submit the documents to the Consulate of the Kingdom of Bahrain for consular legalisation. In addition, certain commercial documents require extra preparation.

For example, certificates of origin, invoices, packing lists, bills of lading, and certificates of goods must first be attested by the London and Arab-British Chambers of Commerce. Only then can the Consulate process them. Furthermore, the Bahrain Consulate in London will only legalise documents issued from specific countries, including the UK, Ireland, Norway, and Iceland.

Because requirements vary, careful planning is essential. Therefore, we guide clients step by step and ensure the apostille for Bahrain follows the correct procedure.

Timeframes and Fees

Consular legalisation usually takes one to two working days. Fees depend on the document type, and additional charges apply where Chamber of Commerce attestation is required.
