FCDO Document Legalisation Process
- Apostille by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCDO):
Documents must first be sent to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in the UK to obtain an apostille. This step authenticates the document’s signature, seal, or stamp, allowing it to be recognised internationally, including in Kuwait. - Attestation by the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce:
After the document is apostilled, it must be presented to the Arab-British Chamber of Commerce (ABCC) for further attestation. This step is necessary for verifying the document’s authenticity for use in Kuwait.
3. Submission to the Embassy of Kuwait:
Following attestation by the ABCC, the document must then be submitted to the Embassy of Kuwait for final legalisation. The Embassy will verify and confirm that the document meets all the necessary requirements for use in Kuwait.
Fees
The fee for legalising documents for use in Kuwait is £55 per document.
Processing Times
The legalisation process typically takes one working week to complete.
Notes/Comments
- Company Documentation:
The Embassy of Kuwait will not legalise documents for companies incorporated outside the UK. This means that only companies registered within the UK can have their documents legalised for use in Kuwait. - Commercial Documents:
There may be an additional ad valorem charge (a percentage of the document’s value) for certain commercial documents, such as invoices and certificates of origin.
