Teaching qualification apostille service
We assist with certification of your teaching qualifications UK by a solicitor registered with the legalisation department of the UK Foreign Office FCDO to obtain legalisation by way of Hague apostille.
The attestation process can be performed on an original or copy of your qualified teacher certificate. There is no difference in the process or the cost, in both options, the qualification must be first certified by a UK solicitor who is registered with the legalisation department of the Foreign Office the FCDO. Once certification is completed as an original or certified copy Hague apostille will be issued based on the solicitor’s signature.
If the TEFL course is issued electronically please forward the email received by your University to us to issue a solicitor certificate ( true copy of an electronic version of the document)
We assist with apostille for all types of documents related to teaching qualifications; qualified teacher status, initial teacher training, Teacher training course, teacher training programme, teaching qualification, postgraduate certificate, or professional teaching test.
If the time is sensitive we would recommend certifying the document again with our solicitor who is registered with the legalisation department of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO)
