Apostille for Venezuela

Apostille of Documents for Venezuela

LEGALISATION AND APOSTILLE REQUIREMENTS

If you require an apostille of documents for Venezuela, our London-based legalisation service can help you through the process smoothly and professionally. Venezuela is a party to the Hague Convention of 5 October 1961. Therefore, you generally need only a UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) apostille on your UK-issued documents for them to be accepted in Venezuela.

However, some organisations may still ask for consular legalisation of commercial documents at the Venezuelan Embassy or Consulate in London. Although this requirement is optional in many cases, we can advise on whether your specific documents would benefit from this additional certification.

Moreover, using the correct apostille helps ensure your documents are accepted for official purposes in Venezuela, including employment, education, immigration, or business use.

Timeframes and Fees

For FCDO apostille legalisation, processing times and fees vary depending on the service level you choose. Standard and premium services are available, with turnaround times that range from same day to several working days.

If you choose to pursue consular legalisation for commercial documents, the Venezuelan Embassy in London may charge a fee (commonly around £51.10 per document). This process typically takes 4–5 working days, but timings can vary.

Please confirm fees, available services, and processing times with us or with the embassy prior to submission.
