This approach is especially important for PGCE and QTS-related documents, because overseas authorities often want confidence that the qualification is genuine.

Enhanced solicitor certification

A basic certified copy usually confirms that the copy matches the document shown to the solicitor.

FCDO apostille for Goldsmiths, University of London documents

After solicitor certification, we can usually submit the document to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office for an apostille.

The FCDO apostille confirms the UK solicitor’s signature, stamp or seal. It does not confirm the academic content of the Goldsmiths, University of London qualification.

For that reason, the verification and solicitor certification stage matters.

我们可以协助：

• standard FCDO apostille
• 2 working day express / e-Apostille option where suitable
• paper apostille for physical document bundles
• apostille on solicitor-certified copies
• apostille for overseas education and teaching purposes

If you have an urgent teaching, visa or school employment deadline, we can advise whether a paper apostille or e-Apostille is more suitable.

Some countries need embassy or consular legalisation after the FCDO apostille.

Where required, we can assist with this further stage. The embassy legalisation process may apply to the Goldsmiths, University of London degree certificate, PGCE certificate, academic transcript or HEAR.

The exact route depends on the receiving authority and the type of document.
