Overview
Fast Apostille When You Need It Most
A same-day or next-day apostille service means your documents are processed and apostilled within the same day or the next working day after submission. These services are used for visas, overseas employment, court matters, or international business — whenever your documents are required urgently for use abroad.
At Continental Visa, we provide fast, reliable same-day and next-day apostille services in the UK. With direct access to the UK apostille process, we ensure accuracy and complete confidentiality. Our fast-track options are a cost-effective alternative to standard processing — and we charge just £85 per document.

Pricing
Apostille Service Fees (2026)
Our pricing is transparent and competitive. The apostille fee is charged per document. Where a document requires solicitor certification before it can be apostilled, a small additional fee applies.
| Service | Details | Fee (GBP) |
|---|---|---|
| Apostille — Per Document | Same-day or next-day FCDO apostille per document | £85 |
| Solicitor Certification | Per document, only where solicitor certification is required before apostille | + £20 |
When does the £20 solicitor fee apply? Civil documents — such as birth, marriage, death and ACRO police certificates — do not need solicitor verification and can be sent directly for apostille. Other documents may require solicitor certification first, in which case the additional £20 fee applies and processing may take one extra working day.
Important Information
What to Know Before You Submit
A few key points to ensure your documents qualify for fast-track processing and reach you on time:
- Your documents must be received before 10:00 am to qualify for next-day processing.
- If your documents require solicitor certification before being submitted to the FCDO, an additional £20 fee per document applies. This step may extend processing by one additional working day.
- Civil documents — birth, marriage, death and ACRO certificates — do not need solicitor verification and can be sent directly for apostille.
- We always work to meet the stated turnaround times, but timings may vary depending on the processing capacity and workload of the FCDO or the relevant authority.
