Apostille for UK Driving Licence
Table of Contents
When planning to use your UK Driving Licence internationally, ensuring its acceptance and recognition is crucial. At 2E Apostille, we specialise in obtaining apostilles from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), making your Driving Licence legally valid for use abroad.
Why Apostille for a UK Driving Licence?
An apostilled driving licence copy is commonly needed for:
- Applying for an international driving permit or local licence abroad
- Employment where driving is required
- Immigration or residency applications
- Vehicle registration or rental abroad
Without an Apostille, your UK driving licence may not be accepted by foreign authorities.
What is an Apostille?
An apostille is an official certification issued by the UK FCDO. It verifies the authenticity of your document, such as a Driving Licence, for use in foreign countries. This certification is essential for documents that need to be recognised by authorities outside the UK.
Why Do You Need an Apostille?
Without an apostille, your Driving Licence may not be accepted outside the UK. Whether you’re handling employment matters, legal proceedings, or personal affairs abroad, an apostille ensures your document is valid and acknowledged by international authorities.
Our Legalisation Process
At 2E Apostille, we streamline the legalisation process for you. From document verification and submission to the retrieval of the apostille, our services are designed to meet international standards, ensuring that your documents are processed efficiently and correctly.
Our Expertise
We offer a comprehensive range of document legalisation services, tailored to your specific needs. By entrusting 2E Apostille with your legalisation process, you save valuable time and effort, while ensuring full compliance with the relevant international requirements.
Please note that a copy of your Driving License must be certified by a UK solicitor or notary public before it is eligible for the apostille.
Please find the fees of our services below:
- Solicitor Certification: £25 per document
- Standard Apostille (3-5 working days): from £88 per document
- Premium Apostille (2 working days): from £130 per document
While solicitor certification is sufficient for most countries, certain destinations, such as Spain or the United States, require your Driving License to be notarised by a UK notary public before it can be apostilled. For these cases, please have the original Driving License posted to our office in London. Once received, we will arrange a video-call verification with our notary public. The fee for the notarisation service is £120.
