Document authentication and consular legalisation services

At Docsbase, we understand the importance of having your personal or business documents authenticated and consular legalised when used abroad. As a trusted partner in legalisation, we provide reliable document authentication and consular legalisation services for documents issued in the UK and Ireland.

Authentication is a confirmation of the origin of a document and the seal or stamp affixed to it. This procedure is a requirement by many authorities before your document(s) can be accepted as valid overseas. Consular legalisation, on the other hand, is a procedure performed after authentication, where your document is legalised by the embassy or consulate of the country where you intend to use it.

At Docsbase, we offer separate authentication and consular legalisation services, or we can take care of the entire process from translation (if required) to authentication and consular legalisation. We also provide apostille authentication in the UK, Ireland, and Switzerland.

Apart from document authentication and consular legalisation, we offer related services like document verification and notary public services. Our notary public can verify the authenticity of your document with the issuing bodies and prepare it for authentication and legalisation. We can also request documents on your behalf and draft and prepare private and commercial documents.

Additionally, we offer courier services for embassy submissions and collection, as well as sworn translation services by our team of reliable translators and proofreaders.

For all your document authentication and consular legalisation needs in the UK and Ireland, please contact our Dublin or London office. We can advise you on whether your document needs to be authenticated and provide all necessary services to ensure your document(s) are accepted as valid overseas.
