Legalisation of Documents Issued by the Government of Kenya

• Original Kenyan document to be legalised (e.g., birth certificate, academic certificate, marriage certificate).
• Photocopy of the Kenyan document.
• Valid Kenyan passport or national ID of the applicant.
• Proof of residence in the United Kingdom (e.g., utility bill, bank statement).
• Completed application form (available on the Kenya High Commission website).
• Payment of the applicable legalisation fee (details provided upon application).

1. Submit the original document along with all required supporting documents to the Kenya High Commission.
2. The High Commission will verify the authenticity of the document with the relevant Kenyan authorities.
3. Upon successful verification, the document will be legalised with an official stamp and signature.
4. The legalised document will be returned to the applicant via the preferred method (e.g., collection in person, postal service).

The standard processing time for document legalisation is approximately 5 to 7 working days. However, processing times may vary depending on the complexity of the verification process and the volume of applications received. It is advisable to submit documents well in advance of any deadlines.
