FCDO Document Legalisation Process
- Apostille by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCDO):
To legalise documents for use in Japan, they need to be apostilled by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in the UK. The Apostille certifies the authenticity of the document’s signature, seal, or stamp, ensuring it is recognised by Japanese authorities.
2. No Further Legalisation Required:
As Japan is a signatory to the Hague Convention, once the Apostille is applied to your document, no further legalisation or consular verification is needed. Your document will be fully valid for use in Japan.
Fees
The fee for obtaining an Apostille from the FCDO is £40 per document (excluding VAT).
Processing Times
The FCDO typically processes Apostille requests within 48 hours.
