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.

1. Certification – this is carried out by a solicitor, notary public or a recognised official
