Reference from an employer

A Reference from an Employer is an official employment document issued by a UK employer confirming details about an individual’s employment, conduct, role, responsibilities, performance, or period of service. These documents are commonly required for overseas employment, visa applications, professional licensing, immigration, and international administrative procedures.

Our next working day UK apostille service provides official legalisation of employer references through the FCDO apostille UK process, ensuring full international recognition.

Can I legalise a reference from an employer?

Yes, references from employers can be legalised.

The FCDO accepts employer references in the following formats:

  • Original signed reference issued by the employer
  • Reference printed on official company letterhead

Solicitor or notary certification required
