Before we begin
Where was your document issued?
This helps us make sure you're on the right legalisation route from the very beginning.
Your document may require a different legalisation process.
Our online ordering system is designed for UK-issued documents.
If your document was issued outside the UK, we'll first need to review it to confirm the correct legalisation process.
Our specialists will advise you before any work begins.
Why can't I order online?
Every country has different legalisation requirements. Unlike UK-issued documents, overseas-issued documents often require different checks before we can advise the correct route. We'll review everything first and recommend the most appropriate service.
UAE attestation · Step 1 of 2
Is this a personal or a commercial document?
This puts you on the correct UAE route from the start. The whole UAE process typically takes around 10–12 working days.
Commercial documents are handled by our specialist team.
Commercial UAE legalisation starts from £600 and follows an individually confirmed route — certification, the FCDO apostille and UAE Embassy + MoFA attestation, plus any Chamber of Commerce steps.
Tell us about your documents and we'll confirm the exact requirements, timeframe and total before any work begins.
Let's get your UAE documents attested
Every order is checked before processing. If anything else is required, we'll confirm it with you first.

Choose your UAE service
Every option includes document checking, the FCDO apostille and UAE Embassy + MoFA attestation. The whole UAE process typically takes 10–12 working days.
Only choose Embassy-Only if your document is already fully legalised. It must already have any required notary or solicitor certification and a physical FCDO apostille, and you'll need to send us the original document. If it doesn't yet have all of these, please choose instead.
E-Apostille is fully digital — you upload your document and receive the apostille by email. Only certain documents are eligible; we confirm eligibility before processing, and there's no charge if it isn't suitable.
Which documents do you have?
Select every document in this order — you can add several types and set how many of each. If in doubt, just search or pick "Not sure".
No matches — try a different word, or choose and tell us what you have.

Our notary service starts from £140. The exact cost depends on the document and signing requirements — we confirm it with you after review. It is not added to today's total, and no notary work begins without your approval.

Make sure every page, signature, stamp and document edge is clearly visible.
Upload the selected copies as one PDF or as separate clear images.

Returning them to you
DHL International courier prices may vary depending on the destination. The amount shown is a guide — we'll confirm the exact delivery cost and contact you if anything else is needed before dispatch.
What “same-day” means: your document is couriered to you on the same day it is returned to us by the FCDO — not the day you order. It covers selected London postcodes; we’ll confirm your address is in range before dispatch.
Good news — this postcode is in our same-day courier area. Once your documents return to our office (usually 4–5pm), we'll arrange the courier.
This postcode isn't in our same-day courier area — UK tracked delivery (£15) is the best option instead.
Your documents are handled securely and confidentially from arrival to return.
Nothing to post. After checkout we'll email you a secure upload link, and your e-apostille is delivered back by email.
