ILLAY Legal - Discounted Solicitor Certification and Apostille service
If you need your UK degree certificate legalised for Spain, we provide a fast, discounted solicitor certification and apostille service exclusively for Illay Legal customers.
This service is essential for applications with the Spanish Ministry of Education for homologación (recognition of qualifications) and declaration of equivalence.
✅ Why You Need Solicitor Certification & Apostille
- Spanish authorities require solicitor certification before apostille legalisation
- Essential for degree recognition (homologacion) and equivalence applications
- Ensures correct legalisation for visa, work, and academic purposes in Spain
Important Verification Requirements
To comply with Spanish legalisation rules, we require direct verification of your degree from your university before we can process the apostille. You have three options:
📍 Option 1: Arrange for someone at your university (e.g., tutor, records office) to email us confirmation of your qualification.
📍 Option 2: Some universities provide an online portal where students can share verified documents – send us the link.
📍 Option 3: Pay a gbp50 verification fee, complete a consent form, and we will attempt to verify your qualification directly with your university (processing times may vary).
🕒 Processing Time
- Solicitor certification and apostille legalisation take approximately 2-3 working days, plus delivery.
- Verification time depends on university response (if required).
