Order consular legalisation of third-country documents

 

Legal support for consular legalisation of third-country documents in the United Kingdom is a specialised service for citizens and companies that have documents issued outside the United Kingdom and need them to be recognised in other countries that are not parties to the 1961 Hague Convention.

Consular legalisation is required to confirm the authenticity of official documents in countries where apostilles are not recognised. This service is relevant for employment, education, marriage, business or inheritance abroad.

 

Verification of documents before submission for consular legalisation in the United Kingdom


Lawyers from the Consultant legal marketplace conduct a preliminary analysis of documents issued by third countries to verify their suitability for consular legalisation.

Actions of lawyers:


  • providing a legal opinion on the compliance of the form and content of documents with the requirements of consular offices;
  • determining the need for preliminary translation, notarisation or confirmation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs;
  • verifying the authenticity of documents and their readiness for further stages of processing;
  • recommendations for eliminating inconsistencies that could lead to refusal of legalisation.
