UK Apostille & Document Attestation

For the United Kingdom, Indian documents are legalised by apostille, not by embassy attestation. The UK is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, so your certificate needs state attestation and an MEA apostille. Many people search for UK embassy attestation, but the British High Commission does not legalise Indian documents. We apostille degrees, marriage and birth certificates, PCCs and company documents for the UK.

UK requirements

Apostille, not embassy attestation, for the UK

The UK accepts the MEA apostille on Indian documents. There is no separate UK embassy attestation. The document is first attested at state level (HRD, SDM or Chamber of Commerce) and then apostilled by the Ministry of External Affairs.

Not every UK use needs an apostille. Many UK visa applications accept original documents with certified translations. An apostille is usually asked for in legal and official uses: marriage registration, courts, property, company matters, professional registration and some employers. We help you check which one you need.

  1. Notary (if needed)
  2. State: HRD / SDM
  3. MEA apostille
