Legalisation route
Apostille, EU recognition or consular legalisation?
Direct EU recognition
Within the EU, direct recognition applies (Brussels IIa/IIb, Regulation 1191/2016) — no Apostille or legalisation required.
Consular legalisation
For non-Hague countries (e.g. Eritrea, Iran, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia, Iraq), consular legalisation via the Foreign Office and the destination embassy.
Do I need a certified translation of my diploma?
For recognition by UK ENIC, enrolment at an overseas university or applications to international employers, a certified translation is typically required.
Which documents accompany a qualification recognition?
Typically the diploma, the transcript (diploma supplement) and sometimes a statement of educational background. We translate the full set.
Do I need an Apostille for my diploma abroad?
For Hague contracting parties, Apostille is required; within the EU, direct recognition often applies; for non-Hague countries, consular legalisation.
