FCDO Document Legalisation Process
For documents to be legally recognised in Greece, the process involves the following steps:
- Apostille at the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO):
The first step in the legalisation process is to submit your document to the FCDO in the UK for an Apostille. The Apostille certifies the authenticity of the document’s signature, seal, or stamp. Since Greece is a member of the Hague Convention, an Apostille is the only legalisation requirement for documents to be accepted in the country.
2. No Further Legalisation Required:
Once the document has been apostilled, it is automatically recognised by Greek authorities. No further steps, such as consular attestation or embassy verification, are needed for the document to be legally valid in Greece.
Fees
The fee for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is £40 per document. This fee applies to all types of documents, including personal documents (such as birth, marriage, or death certificates) and business-related documents (such as contracts, powers of attorney, and company registration documents).
Please note that this fee is exclusive of VAT, and additional charges may apply for expedited processing or courier services.
Processing Times
The standard processing time for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is typically 48 hours. This fast processing time ensures that your documents can be ready for use in Greece within a short period. If you require faster processing, expedited services are available for an additional fee.
