FCDO Document Legalisation Process
The legalisation process for Equatorial Guinea requires two main stages:
- Apostille at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO):
The first step is to send your document to the FCDO in the UK for apostillation. The Apostille serves as an internationally accepted certification, verifying the authenticity of the document’s signature, seal, or stamp. The Apostille is the first crucial step to making the document valid for use abroad, including in Equatorial Guinea.
2. Attestation at the Consulate of Equatorial Guinea:
Once the Apostille has been applied to the document, it must then be presented to the Consulate of Equatorial Guinea for attestation. The consulate verifies that the Apostille is valid, and by attesting the document, it confirms that it is officially recognised for use within Equatorial Guinea. This step is necessary to ensure the document will be legally accepted by authorities in the country.
Fees
The cost for the legalisation process for Equatorial Guinea is £190 per document. This fee covers both the Apostille service from the FCDO and the attestation service from the Consulate of Equatorial Guinea. It’s important to be aware that this fee is fixed, and additional costs may apply if you require expedited services or delivery options for the return of your documents.
Processing Times
The typical processing time for legalising documents for use in Equatorial Guinea is one working week. This time frame covers both the Apostille process at the FCDO and the attestation at the Consulate of Equatorial Guinea. However, it’s important to note that processing times can vary depending on factors such as the volume of applications at the consulate or FCDO, and any specific requirements for the type of document being legalised.
If you need your documents urgently, some expedited services may be available, which could help speed up the process.
