United Kingdom school-leaving certificate apostille: questions

Yes. The apostille must be issued in United Kingdom, but you do not have to be there: we organise a suitable original where possible, the submission to the competent authority and delivery of the apostilled school-leaving certificate anywhere. The notary reviews your application first.

It is accepted in every other Convention country. Non-Convention countries such as the UAE, Qatar and Kuwait need consular legalisation instead.

The HCCH record lists: Postal Service : £45 per apostille issued. Next-Day Service for approved high volume businesses : £40 per apostille issued. e-Apostille Service. Official fees are passed through 1:1 and shown separately in your quote.

No. Schools can issue certified copies but the apostille comes from the designated authority of the country after the education authority confirms the signature. We coordinate both steps.

The school or the education authority can issue a replacement certificate or certified copy, which can then be apostilled. We handle the request with your authorisation.

The UK is a Convention party independent of EU rules, so apostilles are the standard in both directions. Whether a particular university insists on it varies – we ask for you if you are unsure.
