Do I need to send the original document or a copy?
Non-ACRO Police Certificates
While solicitors tend to only stamp a copy of the document, they must still see the original paperwork, which means that you will need to provide this too. The exception is non-ACRO police certificates, as solicitors will only stamp original versions of these. For documents exempt from solicitor authentication and stamped by the FCO, these must always be original as the FCO does not stamp copies.
Non-ACRO police certificates require attestation from a solicitor before being stamped by the FCO and the Algerian embassy. Please select the ‘Solicitor + FCO + Algeria Embassy Attestation’ option for these documents.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FCO?
FCO is the Foreign & Commonwealth Office which promotes the United Kingdom’s interests overseas, supporting the UK citizens and businesses around the globe. It is also known as the British Foreign Ministry. All documents without exception must be attested from the FCO before it can be attested by the Bahrain embassy.
What is The Hague Convention?
A country that has not signed the Hague Convention requires foreign legal documents to be certified for use in that country. Countries that are part of the Hague Convention do not require legalisation of documents before they are recognised in the other country. The Bahrain is not part of the Hague Convention. Therefore, it requires legal documents to be certified by the Bahrain embassy in London, UK before it can be recognised in the Bahrain.
