The Role of a Solicitor in an FCDO Legalisation Office
As a certifying solicitor you’re the linchpin of the legalisation process at the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Your main task is to verify that every document (personal, business or academic), is genuine and ready for international use. This is more than just a signature; it’s about protecting your client’s interests and making sure everything you certify stands up to scrutiny abroad.
You’ll check each document, from educational diplomas and corporate contracts to vital legal papers, to ensure they meet UK and international legal standards. When you certify something you give your clients confidence that their paperwork will be recognised by authorities worldwide, and help them avoid costly delays or rejections. In this role your detailed work opens doors for people and businesses across borders.
What do Solicitors Do?
Solicitors play a key role in guiding people and businesses through legal processes big and small. You will provide legal advice on rights and responsibilities, handle everything from buying property to family matters and draft, review and certify all kinds of legal documents.
You’re your client’s voice in negotiations and in court when necessary. Above all you’re there to anticipate risks, head off problems and protect your clients’ interests by applying your legal expertise and professional integrity. When it comes to certifying documents you are the trusted link that brings certainty and validity to each transaction.
What Types of Documents You’ll Certify
Our certifying solicitors handle a wide range of documents including:
- Personal documents: Birth and marriage certificates, passports and IDs
- Education documents: Degrees, diplomas, transcripts and school records
- Business & commercial paperwork: Incorporation papers, contracts, partnership agreements
- Legal documents: Powers of attorney, affidavits, declarations
Each certification opens the door for clients to study, work, travel or do business around the world – making your work directly relevant to people’s ambitions and livelihoods.
