Legalisation Services Proposal - United Kingdom

26 January 2022

We are pleased to introduce DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services as a one-stop partner for all of your legalisation requirements in the United Kingdom. We have in-house experts with vast experience in all forms of legalisation and offer various packages depending on the specific requirements of your customers.

DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services are agents in most government organisations in the United Kingdom, as well as being registered with an extensive range of official entities. This enables us to be able to request documents on behalf of the customers, including Criminal Records, duplicates of Vital Records, tax documents, company registration documents, educational certificates, medical qualifications, and many more. DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services will make contact with the above entities and obtain all documents which your client requires for further legalisation. Our fees for this service are normally £50, plus any fees which the requesting authority might charge.

Notary Certification

Many of these documents will require a second layer of certification so if for example an academic diploma is requested, a true copy of the original may also need to be arranged from a Notary. Notary fees in the United Kingdom tend to be expensive, starting at £60 for the first document with an additional £20 per subsequent document.  Most documents in the UK can however be certified by a solicitor, and DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services have a registered in-house solicitor. Therefore most document which need to be certified can be processed in-house for a fee of £20 per document. If there are several documents this fee will be reduced.  We also have in-house certification of translations which are priced at £10 per translation certificate.

Apostille legalisation

DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services also have in-house experts with vast experience in Apostille certification and arrange Apostille certifications on a daily basis. The UK provides a Standard Apostille certification service as well as an Express Apostille certification service,  where the standard Apostille service costs £30 and plus any outlay fees such as postage etc. So Apostille certification of three documents would cost £90 for Apostille legalisation and approximately £30 for postage. DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services’ fee would be £35 per job. If the Express service is being used the Government fees are £75 per document and DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services will charge around £80 per job, this increase is because the documents are then hand-delivered and collected.

Consular Legalisation

DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services can deliver documents to any Embassy, including the United Arab Emirates, China, Vietnam, Egypt, etc,  in the United Kingdom for Consular legalisation. The DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services fees here are generally £80 depending on which Embassy is involved and, on the complexity, and amount of time spent. Once again the charge from DocsBase Apostille & Consular Legalisation Services is per job and not per document.  In addition to our fee, there is generally a fee from the Embassy which may vary.

These services would normally have a higher cost value, but we are delighted to offer these discounted rates to our potential partners with the intention of building a long-lasting and mutually beneficial relationship.  We look forward to hearing from you and discussing how we can work together on Legalisation requirements in the United Kingdom.
