FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT bahrain LEGALISATION
Legalisation is the process of authenticating that a UK document is genuine. This process is required when using UK documents abroad as many countries do not accept foreign documents without legalisation.
An example of where you will be asked to have your documents legalised is for employment purposes; employers will require your Bachelor’s degree, for example, to complete the employment process.
No, Bahrain is not party to the Hague Convention. This will mean that your UK documents will require legalisation by the Embassy of Bahrain in London.
On average, the legalisation process for Bahrain takes 6 working days. This is inclusive of the certification and FCDO Apostille steps. Alternatively, the express service can provide you with your documents in 2 working days.
No, legalised documents do not expire and are therefore valid indefinitely.
Yes, documents can be attested by yourself, however documents submitted to FCDO by individuals will have a longer turnaround time compared to registered businesses, who are prioritised.
Document legalisation is generally of three steps:
1. Certification – this is carried out by a solicitor, notary public or a recognised official
2. Apostille – this is issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
3. Legalisation – the final step is to have the Embassy of Bahrain attest the document with their consular stamp
