There are changes to the UK Government’s apostille services as provided by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office taking effect from 2nd January 2024. The premium (same-day) service will no longer be available.

Instead, documents submitted through my consular agent are expected to be handled using a Next-Day Service.

While an Urgent Legalisation Service is being offered, this will be dependent on submitting evidence acceptable to the FCDO that (1) the document falls within certain categories (e.g. child welfare matters) and (2) the existence of a specific deadline. Such evidence would have to be submitted before 16:00 hours the day before the documents are submitted.
