Question 1

Do you need the original degree certificate or a copy?

Accepted Answer

We work from a high-quality copy — please do not send the original parchment. A clear scan or photocopy is enough for the SRA-regulated solicitor we arrange to certify it as a true copy of the original.

Question 2

Why does my degree need a solicitor before the apostille?

Accepted Answer

Degree certificates are issued by universities rather than a UK government body, so the FCDO won't apostille them directly. A qualified UK solicitor first certifies the copy as a true copy of the original — and the FCDO then apostilles the solicitor's signature.

Question 3

Can you apostille my transcript and diploma in the same order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Add as many educational documents as you need to the same order — each one is solicitor-certified and apostilled. The per-document price drops on additional documents.

Question 4

I'm moving to the UAE / Qatar / Saudi — is the apostille enough?

Accepted Answer

Those are non-Hague countries, so you'll also need embassy attestation. We offer a full end-to-end service that includes solicitor certification, FCDO apostille and consular attestation.

Question 5

What about a HESA / university verification letter?

Accepted Answer

If your employer or visa office has asked for the degree to be verified by HESA or the university first, complete that step before sending us the documents. We can then handle the legalisation chain.
