Is a UK FCDO apostille always required for Monaco?
No single answer covers every document and recipient. We confirm the requirement for your matter first.
Do I always need the Monaco Embassy?
Do not assume an additional Embassy step. Ask the receiving organisation and check the document’s route.
Can you help with a power of attorney?
Yes. We review the document and the recipient’s instructions and advise on the notarial process. Wait for our instructions before signing. A power of attorney, notarised and apostilled, is £230 plus VAT per document, including the FCDO fee.
Can I use a UK FCDO e-apostille?
We check eligibility and the recipient’s format requirements. The FCDO does not issue e-apostilles for certain certificates.
How much will it cost in total?
Notarisation and the UK FCDO apostille are fixed fees per document, set out in the table above: for example, a power of attorney notarised and apostilled is £230 plus VAT, including the FCDO fee. Any embassy or consular, translation or courier charges for Monaco are quoted in writing before you proceed, so you know the full cost before you pay.
How long does it take?
Notary appointments are usually available the same day, with 2 hours’ notice. A standard UK FCDO apostille takes 3 working days, an urgent apostille 1 working day, and an e-apostille usually arrives within 24 hours.
How do I get the finished document back?
