FCDO Document Legalisation Process
For documents intended for use in Hungary, the process is as follows:
- Apostille at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO):
The first step is to submit your document to the FCDO to obtain an Apostille. This process verifies the authenticity of the document’s signature, seal, or stamp, making it legally recognised in Hungary. Since Hungary is a member of the Hague Convention, the Apostille is the only form of legalisation required for your document to be valid in the country.
2. No Further Legalisation Needed:
Once your document has been apostilled by the FCDO, it is automatically accepted by Hungarian authorities. There is no need for additional consular or embassy legalisation.
Fees
The fee for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is £40 per document. This fee applies to both personal documents (e.g., birth certificates, marriage certificates) and business-related documents (e.g., contracts, company registration documents, powers of attorney).
Please note that the fee is exclusive of VAT. Additional charges may apply if you require expedited services or courier delivery.
Processing Times
The standard processing time for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is typically 48 hours, ensuring your documents are ready for use in Hungary in a timely manner. If you need your Apostille sooner, expedited services are available for an additional fee.
