Update to previous post about LeGaLiSaTiOn 

With Reference to point 2. Apostille and the cost of £30!!

While this is true... certain documents will need to be signed by a Notary first. So this has the notary fee as a cost element to it. Therefore it will cost around £70 for the Apostille of a Bachelors Degree.
The notary I used Kindly offered to do it for a reduced price of £30

 This is not mentioned on the Apostille page of the FCO website.  You need to check the type of documents in the "documents we can legalise" section.    For info Click >here<

An Extract from the FCO website...

2) Appropriate certification:

We can legalise original certificates of UK academic qualifications if:
  • They have been certified in the UK by a practising UK solicitor or notary public
Or
  • They have been signed and certified by an official of the British Council 
We can legalise photocopies of certificates of UK academic qualifications if:
  • They have been certified as a true copy of the original in the UK by a practising UK solicitor or notary public
Or
  • They have been certified as a true copy of the original by an official of a British diplomatic mission (e.g. Consulate, Embassy or High Commission)
