Medical report apostille – UK legalisation service

Fast, secure apostille service for your medical report

We provide fast apostille and legalisation services for medical reports, including priority FCDO apostille UK processing and secure tracked delivery. This service is commonly required for immigration procedures, overseas medical treatment and international legal or insurance matters.

What is a medical report?

A medical report is an official document prepared and signed by a registered healthcare professional in the United Kingdom. It may contain medical history, diagnoses, treatment details, examination results or professional medical opinions.

Why you may need an apostille

You may require an apostille for:

  • Visa and immigration applications
  • Overseas medical treatment
  • International insurance claims
  • Residency or work permit applications
  • Foreign legal or administrative procedures

An apostille ensures your medical report is legally recognised in Hague Apostille Convention countries.

Can I legalise a medical report?

Yes — UK medical reports can be legalised for international use, provided they meet the required format and certification standards.

Apostille requirements
  • Original signed medical report required
  • Documents may require certification by a UK solicitor or Notary Public before apostille
  • The medical professional’s signature must meet FCDO legalisation requirements
