What is Embassy Attestation?

Embassy attestation is the process of having your document certified by the embassy or consulate of the country where it will be used. It’s often required for countries not part of the Hague Apostille Convention, such as the UAE, Qatar, or Vietnam.

The process typically involves:

  1. Solicitor or notary certification (if required)
  2. UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) apostille
  3. Embassy or consulate legalisation

Embassy attestation confirms that your UK-issued document is genuine and meets the legal requirements of the destination country, allowing it to be used for purposes such as employment, study, marriage, or business abroad.
