We are a registered UK Legalisation Service with the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) at Gov.UK. We can provide the Apostille (legalisation) of your UK documents for consular and international use.
The Easiest Way to Get Your Documents Legalised
If you need to use British documents overseas — for business or personal reasons — you may be asked to have them legalised before they can be accepted.
You will need an Apostille Certificate, also known as the Hague Apostille, which confirms the authenticity of the signature and the capacity in which the person signing the document has acted. The process of obtaining an Apostille is called legalisation.
With Baraka Certified Translations, you can forget the bureaucracy — we will handle the entire process for you quickly and efficiently.
Our professionals will first check if your document is ready to be legalised.
- For most documents, such as birth or marriage certificates, the FCDO Apostille is sufficient for acceptance by consulates and embassies.
- However, certain documents — including powers of attorney, adoption certificates, or inheritance documents — may need to be certified by a solicitor or notary public before legalisation. In these cases, our trusted solicitors and notaries can handle the certification for you.
We offer a free consultation to determine exactly what service you need.
At Baraka Certified Translations, we are committed to providing a fast and complete legalisation service to ensure your UK documents are correctly accepted overseas and by embassies or consulates. Legalisation through the FCDO usually takes 5–10 working days.
Cost: Our Apostille service is £65, including government fees, plus a recorded delivery fee (or you may collect your legalised documents from our Leicester office). You simply send us your original document, and we will make the process fast and simple. You are also welcome to visit our office to drop off or pick up your documents in person.
In addition, we can translate your documents into your target language. This means you won’t need to use multiple agencies for notarisation, legalisation, and translation — we can handle it all under one roof.
