Apostille for UK Birth Certificate

At 2E Apostille, we specialise in obtaining apostilles from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) to legalise your Birth Certificate document for international use. Whether for work, personal, or legal reasons abroad, our services ensure your documents are recognised and authentic beyond the UK.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification issued by the UK FCDO. It verifies the authenticity of your document for international use. It’s essential for foreign authorities to validate documents originating outside their jurisdiction.

Why Do You Need an Apostille for UK Birth Certificate?

An apostille for a birth certificate might be required for purposes such as registering a birth in a foreign country, verifying one’s identity, applying for dual citizenship in the UK or overseas, handling matters related to inheritance, or entering marriage in another country.

The Legalisation Process

Our streamlined process guides you through document verification, submission, and apostille retrieval from the FCDO, ensuring compliance with international standards.

Our Services

Please have the original document posted to our office in London to have it legalised. Birth certificates can’t be apostilled on a copy.

Find the fees of our services below:

  • Premium Apostille (2 working days): from £130 per document
  • Standard Apostille (3-5 working days): from £82 per document

Non-UK Birth Certificates

The United Kingdom generally can only authenticate birth certificates issued within its borders. Legalising non-UK documents is typically done in the country of origin where they were issued.

However, there is an exception to this rule. If a birth certificate was issued in English and by an embassy in London, it could be legalised in the UK as it was created within UK jurisdiction. However, this can only be done after certification from a solicitor or notary public. In this case, the apostille will authenticate the solicitor’s certification rather than the embassy’s public official.
