Apostille & Legalization for United Kingdom
How to authenticate a U.S. document for use in United Kingdom: whether it needs an apostille or embassy legalization, translation requirements, and how we handle the whole process.
As a Hague Convention member, United Kingdom recognizes a single apostille certificate from the U.S. Department of State. No embassy legalization step is required.
If you are sending a U.S. document to United Kingdom — for work visas, spousal visas, business registration, or another purpose — it must be authenticated before United Kingdom authorities will accept it. This page explains exactly what United Kingdom requires and how we handle it end to end.
