Apostille for a Fingerprint certificate

Requirements, pricing and turnaround for getting a UK apostille on your fingerprint certificate.

Certification process

A fingerprint certificate is a UK public document, so it can go straight to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for the apostille certificate.

Document requirements

Original.

Digital e-Apostille

No — the FCDO does not issue an electronic e-Apostille for a fingerprint certificate, so this needs the paper apostille.

The Hague Convention

An apostille authenticates a UK public document for use in countries that are members of the Hague Apostille Convention. Destinations outside the convention may need further embassy legalisation instead.
