ACRO Apostille Service: Legalising Your Police Certificate for International Use
If you need to use an ACRO Police Certificate abroad for purposes like visa applications, overseas employment, or residency permits, you will almost certainly need an apostille. This page explains what an ACRO certificate is, why it needs an apostille, and how our service simplifies the entire process.
What is an ACRO Police Certificate?
An ACRO Police Certificate (issued by the ACRO Criminal Records Office) is an official document detailing an individual’s criminal record history in the United Kingdom. It is a key requirement for many international processes, including:
-
Visa and immigration applications (e.g., for Canada, Australia, USA, New Zealand)
-
Overseas work permits and teaching contracts
-
Securing residency in another country
-
International adoption processes
Why Does an ACRO Certificate Need an Apostille?
- An apostille is a special certificate issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that authenticates the signature, seal, and capacity of the official who signed the document. Without an apostille, your ACRO certificate will not be recognised as a valid legal document in any country that is part of the Hague Apostille Convention.
- Simply put, the apostille is the internationally accepted proof that your police certificate is genuine, allowing foreign governments and organisations to trust its validity.
- Used for international adoption processes

Embassy Authentication
For your ACRO Apostille certificate to be accepted in certain countries, a second step called Embassy Authentication (or Legalization) is required. This is where the destination country’s embassy in the UK verifies the Apostille stamp, making your document fully valid for use in their jurisdiction.
This process is typically necessary for countries that are not party to the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents, or that have additional requirements.
We provide a complete Embassy Authentication service for the following countries, including:
-
United Arab Emirates (UAE)
-
Saudi Arabia
