Getting your Malian documents recognized in the United Kingdom
Visa, studies, marriage, work or setting up a company in the United Kingdom: your Malian documents usually need legalization, and translation where required. We prepare the file in the required order.
The usual steps
- Checking the requirements of the authority receiving your documents in the United Kingdom
- Certified translation into the required language (English), if the document is not already in it
- Legalization at Mali’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs
- Legalization by the embassy or consulate responsible for the United Kingdom, if the receiving authority requires it
The United Kingdom applies the Apostille Convention: documents issued there are apostilled locally. We obtain those apostilles for you through our network.

Frequently asked questions
Do my Malian documents need translating for the United Kingdom?
Yes, if they are not written in a language accepted there (English). Some authorities accept documents in French; we check that for you.
Can a Malian document be apostilled for the United Kingdom?
No. As Mali is not a party to the Apostille Convention, your documents go through legalization: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, then embassy or consulate.
