Everything You Need for a Fast Legalisation Service
Your e-Apostille is issued directly by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). Our team will verify the document and organise valid electronic solicitor certification to avoid delays.

Understanding e-Apostille for Academic Documents
Academic documents can almost always be e-apostilled, making them ideal candidates for fast digital processing. Whether your document was issued as paper or digital, we can arrange the certification needed to make it eligible for e-apostille.
Why Academic Documents Are Well-Suited to be issued with the e-Apostille
Universities, colleges, and training providers increasingly issue documents digitally or can provide digital versions on request. Even if your original certificate was paper, most institutions can now generate verified digital copies that we can certify electronically and submit for e-apostille without needing to post physical documents.
Digital Platforms Used by Universities
Many UK universities use platforms like GradIntel, DigitaryCore, HEAR (Higher Education Achievement Report), or their own verification systems to issue digital versions of degrees and transcripts. These platforms create secure PDFs that can be shared electronically and verified by third parties. Once you have a digital certificate from one of these systems, we can arrange electronic solicitor certification and e-apostille.
How Electronic Certification Works
Even if your university issues digital certificates, they rarely include the qualified or advanced electronic signatures that the FCDO requires for the e-Apostille. This is where our electronic solicitor certification service comes in. Our solicitors verify your academic document, certify it, and apply a valid digital signature. This certified version can then be e-Apostilled and delivered to you entirely electronically.

Our Electronic Certification and e-Apostille Service for Academic Documents
Our Electronic Certification and e-Apostille Service for Academic Documents
We offer a complete electronic certification and e-apostille service designed specifically for academic documents. Here’s what makes our service efficient for degrees, transcripts, and other educational certificates:
Fully digital process: No need to post your original certificates if you can organise verification of the electronic version. Send us digital files or high-quality scans, and we handle everything electronically. This is particularly valuable if you’re overseas or on a tight timeline.
University verification: Most Universities allow degrees to be securely shared with third parties like us on platforms such as GradIntel or DigiataryCore. If that’s not available, you just need to ask the issuing instituion to email us directly verifying your document.
Fast turnaround: Because the entire process can be electronic, we can typically complete certification and e-apostille within 1-2 working days once we have the document and verification.
Multiple documents: If you need several documents apostilled (such as a degree certificate and transcript, or qualifications from multiple institutions), we can often process them together as part of a combined digital file to save you money.
Expert guidance: We can advise on how exactly your documents can be legalised with the e-Apostille or paper apostille. Many universities and employers worldwide now prefer e-Apostilles because they’re faster to verify and harder to forge.
