Using a UK university degree certificate in Malta?

You may need a properly certified and apostilled UK degree certificate before a Maltese employer, university, regulator, HR department, immigration office or public authority will accept it.

Malta is a Hague Apostille Convention country. This means a UK FCDO apostille is usually the key legalisation step for UK documents used in Malta, without further embassy legalisation in most cases.

Ginkgo Advisory can help you prepare your UK degree certificate through a clean, reliable route:

degree verification → solicitor certification → 2 working days FCDO apostille → delivery to Malta or worldwide

For Malta, the Document Chain Matters

A degree certificate is not just a piece of paper.

For overseas use, the receiving authority may need to know three things:

• Is the degree genuine?
  We can verify your degree with the issuing university or through recognised verification platforms where needed.
• Has the document been properly certified?
  Our solicitor can prepare certification suitable for FCDO apostille submission.
• Has the UK signature been apostilled?
  The FCDO attaches the apostille after checking the relevant UK signature, stamp or seal.

This gives your UK academic document a stronger chain for use in Malta.

Our Malta Apostille Service

1. Send Us Your UK Degree Certificate

Send us a clear scan of your UK university degree certificate.

We review:

• the issuing university
• the document format
• whether it is an original, scan, PDF or digital record
• the intended use in Malta
• whether degree verification is needed before certification

2. We Verify the Degree Where Needed

Where needed, we verify the degree with the issuing institution or through recognised platforms, including:

• HEDD
• GradIntelligence / HEAR
• Digitary / Parchment
• direct university registry verification
• official university verification letters
• university digital document portals

This step is especially useful if the Maltese receiving authority wants stronger evidence that the UK qualification is genuine.

3. Our Solicitor Certifies the Document

Our solicitor prepares the certification for the UK degree certificate.

Where appropriate, the wording can confirm that:

• the document is a true copy
• the degree certificate has been reviewed
• the authenticity of the document has been verified with the issuing institution or through an accepted verification route
• the document is suitable for FCDO apostille submission

This is stronger than a simple “certified true copy” when authenticity matters.

4. We Arrange the 2 Working Days FCDO Apostille

Once the document is ready for submission, we can arrange our 2 working days UK apostille service.

The 2 working days timeframe applies once the document has been prepared and is ready for FCDO submission.

University verification time depends on the issuing institution or platform.

5. We Deliver the Completed Document

After the apostille is completed, we can arrange delivery to:

• Malta
• Gozo
• the UK
• another overseas address

Does Malta Need Embassy Legalisation After the Apostille?

Usually, no.

Malta is covered by the Hague Apostille system. For UK documents used in Malta, an FCDO apostille is usually the legalisation step required, rather than consular or embassy legalisation.

However, you should still check the exact receiving authority in Malta. Some employers, universities, regulators or government departments may have their own wording, translation or format requirements.

What We Can Apostille for Malta

We can help with:

• UK bachelor’s degree certificates
• UK master’s degree certificates
• UK PhD certificates
• UK academic transcripts
• HEAR records
• GradIntelligence records
• Digitary documents
• university verification letters
• professional qualification certificates
• UK college certificates
• UK school documents

If your degree certificate and transcript need to be used together, we can advise whether a bound set is suitable.

A bound set may work well when the Maltese authority needs both the award certificate and academic record in one apostilled bundle.

---

UK Degree Certificate and Transcript Apostille for Malta

Some Maltese employers, universities or professional bodies may ask for both the degree certificate and the academic transcript.

In that situation, we can help you decide whether to apostille:

• the degree certificate only
• the academic transcript only
• the degree certificate and transcript separately
• the degree certificate and transcript as a bound set

The right option depends on the receiving authority’s requirements.

Where possible, we keep the legalisation chain clear, readable and easy for the overseas authority to understand.
