Legalisation is the official confirmation that a signature, seal or stamp on a document is genuine.

Legalisation is the official confirmation that a signature, seal or stamp on a document is genuine. But having a document legalised doesn’t mean that its contents are accurate, and it does not carry any sort of official approval by the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.

The British Embassy in Nepal can offer a limited legalisation service for UK documents.

For more information about what legalisation means, please go to the FCO website.
