Useful information
Your questions,
answered.
Practical details for arranging your certificate, apostille and document return.
Can I apply directly to ACRO?
Yes. You can make your own application to ACRO and ask us to handle the apostille, any further attestation and courier return. We can also assist with preparing and submitting an application with your written authorisation.
Can ACRO send my certificate to you?
Yes. Contact us first to confirm your order and delivery details. Once the original arrives, we can arrange the agreed apostille and legalisation stages.
Does my certificate need solicitor certification?
For our standard ACRO apostille service, the original ACRO Police Certificate is submitted directly for FCDO legalisation without a separate solicitor-certified copy. Send us the details if your receiving authority has requested a particular format.
Will I need embassy attestation as well?
This depends on the destination and the receiving authority’s requirements. We review those instructions and confirm whether further embassy or consular legalisation is needed.
Can you assist if I am outside the UK?
Yes. We assist overseas clients and can arrange courier return to you or your representative. The original certificate is needed for the paper apostille stage; contact us to agree the delivery arrangements.
Can the complete process take two working days?
The advertised express option concerns the apostille stage only, subject to availability and document checks. ACRO processing, delivery to us, any embassy work and final courier delivery take additional time.
What does the starting price cover?
Our published starting price is £398 per document. Tell us whether you already have the certificate and where it will be used. Your written quotation will confirm the work included, applicable fees and delivery arrangements.
