If you have an education award and you’ve been asked to have it legalised for use overseas, things can get confusing quickly. Below, you can find all of our blog articles which directly relate to the legalisation of qualification specifically, for a variety of destination countries.

Each country has their own set of requirements and procedures, which can differ greatly, which is why we’ve covered each of these topics individually. Remember however, that the issuing country can also have a large impact on the process required. Although we can legalise documents from practically any country in the world, most of our procedural guides are written from a UK perspective, so checking directly with our team will ensure you’ve get the information which suits your circumstances.

You can use our live chat function if you have any questions, or get in touch with us through one of the methods on our Contact Us page.
