Kuwait Embassy Only - Standard

Choose this service to have a document legalised for Kuwait which does NOT require certification beforehand by a solicitor or notary public. Please only select this service if your document has been seen by the FCO. This is our standard 2-week service.

Please note that the quoted timescale reflects how long we will typically need your document(s) for. You should allow sufficient time to send us the document(s) and also for return delivery.

Extra Requirements for Kuwait Legalisation

As of May 2019, the Kuwait Embassy in London have informed us that they will now require a scan of the passport photo pages to complete the legalisation process for Kuwait. Please bear this in mind and send the necessary documents as a package to avoid delays.

Once you click the Order Now button, you'll be taken to the Shopping Basket, where you can view your order and make sure everything is as you want it to be. When you're ready to proceed, you can go ahead and make a payment.

Once your order is completed, you'll receive an email telling you where to send your documents. This will differ depending on which service you selected - all Standard and Express orders come through to our Batley office while all Urgent orders need to be sent to our London office.

We recommend sending your documents by courier to avoid any delays. Once your documents arrive at our office, we'll check them over  and create scanned copies before beginning the legalisation process. This is when the processing period starts. You can expect to receive confirmation that your legalisation has been successful by the end of this processing period. The documents will then be sent back via your chosen delivery method.

All timescales shown on the website refer to how long it will take us to process your documents from when we receive them, to when they are ready for dispatch. Upon completion, we will send your completed order by the method chosen when your order has been placed. 

Delivery Methods

We use a range of methods to ensure secured return delivery of your documents. These are determined by the country you live in as follows:

UK Deliveries

All deliveries to UK addresses, including The Channel Islands and the Isle of Mann, are sent using Royal Mail Special Delivery. This service guarantees that a delivery attempt will be made before 1pm on the next working day (Monday - Friday) after the documents have been dispatched. You will receive an order completion email which includes the tracking number for your shipment when your documents are leaving our offices. 

Courier Delivery

The most secure service is to send by courier. These shipments are dispatched via a Tier 1 carrier network such as UPS, DHL or Fedex depending on the best service available for your country. Transit times are typically:

• 1 working day to Western Europe
• 2-3 working days to the rest of Europe, North America and the Middle East
• 3-6 working days to everywhere else

Dispatch emails are sent as the document leave our offices with a tracking reference to allow you to monitor the shipment in real time. 

Failed Deliveries

In the event that no-one is available to sign for the delivery, the package will be taken back to the local sorting office or depot and you will be left a card asking you to collect the item or arrange for a reattempted delivery at a convenient time. 

Before we agree to complete the work again...

You will need to provide contact details for the institution that rejected your legalised documents, so we can help the correct document reach them, or validate their reasons for rejecting the document. This is the fastest way to help you correct any issues and reduce any delays.

Restrictions to the guarantee

This guarantee only applies where you have provided the correct document to us to begin with. It is your responsibility to check the requirements of the person or organisation you are presenting your document to. We cannot be held responsible if the wrong document has been submitted to us!
