Academic & Professional Document Legalisation in London

Get Your UK Qualifications Recognised Abroad with Apostille & Notarisation

If you're planning to study or work abroad, most overseas institutions and employers will require your UK academic or professional documents to be legalised. At London Legal Translation Ltd, we specialise in the notarisation, apostille, and embassy attestation of educational and career-related documents, ensuring they are accepted and recognised worldwide.

Whether you’re applying for university, submitting credentials for employment, or undergoing professional registration overseas, we make the process straightforward and fully compliant.

Which Academic & Professional Documents Need Legalisation?

Most international universities, employers, and government departments will request legalised documentation for verification. We handle:

• Degree certificates (bachelor’s, master’s, PhD)
• Diplomas and NVQs
• Academic transcripts and mark sheets
• A-levels, GCSEs, and school records
• Letters of enrolment or recommendation
• Professional licences and certifications
• Work experience or reference letters
• CPD and training completion certificates
• Teaching qualifications (QTS, PGCE)
• Medical, legal, and engineering accreditations

If your document is being sent to a country outside the UK, it may need notarisation and apostille, and in some cases, embassy legalisation.

Legalisation for Studying Abroad

If you’re applying to an overseas university or education provider, you may need to present legalised academic documents as part of your application or visa process. We legalise documents for international education in:

• The USA
• Canada
• Australia
• UAE
• Spain
• Germany
• China
• Saudi Arabia
• And many more countries

We also provide certified translations of your certificates and transcripts if the receiving institution requires them in another language.

Legalisation for Overseas Employment

• Teachers and academic staff
• Medical professionals
• Engineers and architects
• Lawyers and legal professionals
• IT and technical staff
• Corporate executives and consultants

We ensure that all documentation is legally recognised by foreign employers, regulators, and ministries.

Our Academic & Professional Legalisation Process

1. Document Review – We check your document type and destination country to advise the correct legalisation steps.
2. Notarisation (if required) – A UK Notary Public verifies the authenticity of your original or copy.
3. Apostille Certificate – We obtain the apostille from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO).
4. Embassy Attestation (if needed) – For countries outside the Hague Convention, we submit to the relevant embassy in London.
