As businesses and individuals navigate an increasingly globalised world, the importance of document legalisation cannot be overstated. Often, it's a crucial step in establishing your credibility abroad, proving the authenticity of your documents and ensuring smooth cross-border transactions. However, when it comes to obtaining an apostille in the UK, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) backlogs can pose significant challenges and delays. Fortunately, there's an efficient and reliable alternative: our apostille service.

First, let's talk about what's going on with the FCDO. The FCDO is a UK government body responsible for legalising documents so they are recognised overseas. They do this by issuing an apostille - a certificate that verifies the signature, stamp, or seal on a document, making it acceptable in any of the 117 countries that are part of the Hague Apostille Convention.

However, like many government services, the FCDO is struggling with a large backlog of requests. As of now, the current processing time for documents sent directly to the FCDO for the Apostille is approximately 25 working days. This delay can potentially disrupt plans for those looking to use their documents overseas within a short timeframe.

This is where we come in.

That's why we're committed to offering a faster, more efficient apostille service to help you navigate these FCDO backlogs.
