e-Apostille Pricing Explained
e-Apostille Pricing Explained
Understanding the cost of a UK e-Apostille can be challenging because different providers present their pricing in different ways. Some list only their service fee and add other charges later, which makes it difficult to compare services. This guide explains exactly what is included in our all-inclusive fee and why our approach provides full clarity from the start.
• Our fee is fully inclusive
• FCDO government fee included
• Solicitor digital certification included
• VAT included
• Free secure e-delivery included
• We do not use slow services with paid upgrade
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.
What does e-Apostille pricing really include
What does e-Apostille pricing really include
Many people search for a simple explanation of what they are actually paying for when requesting an e-Apostille. Pricing varies considerably between providers, and the way fees are presented often causes confusion. The aim of this page is to break down the key elements that make up the total cost and show exactly what is included in our fixed charge.
Some companies advertise a low initial fee but then add the FCDO fee, VAT or solicitor certification during the checkout process. This can increase the total cost significantly and makes it difficult to compare providers. Our service is designed to remove this uncertainty. Every element needed to obtain a valid e-Apostille is included within the single price.
This creates a straightforward experience for customers. You do not need to calculate additional costs, arrange separate solicitor certification or expect extra payments after submitting your order. Everything is included from the start, and your completed e-Apostille is delivered directly to your inbox.
Our fee is fully inclusive
Our fee is fully inclusive
Some providers advertise a low headline price but then add the FCDO fee, VAT, solicitor charges or admin fees later, which increases the actual cost. Our pricing is designed to avoid this confusion. The fee is the final price. There are no add-ons, upgrades or unexpected costs. Everything required to issue your e-Apostille is included.
This transparency also avoids delays, because every necessary step is already accounted for. You do not need to arrange solicitor certification separately or make additional payments after placing your order.
FCDO government fee included
FCDO government fee included
The FCDO charges a fixed fee for issuing an e-Apostille. Some companies exclude this from their advertised price and add it during checkout. Our fee already includes the full government charge. This means you only make a single payment and the application is submitted correctly from the start.
Solicitor digital certification included
Solicitor digital certification included
If your document does not contain an approved digital signature, it must be certified by a solicitor before it can be legalised. Many providers add this as an extra cost or do not mention it until later in the process. We include solicitor digital certification within the £95 fee. Whether your document is digitally signed or needs preparation, the price is the same.
VAT included
VAT included
Some companies display prices without VAT until the final stage. This makes the cost look lower than it is and makes comparisons difficult. Our pricing includes VAT so you always know the true total cost. You will also receive a VAT invoice for your records.
Free secure e-delivery included
Free secure e-delivery included
An e-Apostille is delivered as a secure PDF file by email. Despite this, some competitors still charge for delivery or digital handling. We do not charge any delivery or processing fees. Your completed e-Apostille is emailed to you as soon as it is issued, ready to use or forward to the requesting authority.
We do not offer slow services with paid upgrades
We do not offer slow services with paid upgrades
Many competitors offer a slower, cheaper service by default and then encourage customers to pay extra for faster processing. This can make a service look inexpensive at first glance but often doubles the final cost. We do not use this pricing model. We charge one fee and process every document at the fastest speed available.
There are no speed tiers, upgrade prompts or misleading upsells. Every customer receives the quickest service possible under the fixed price.
