Legalisation requirements for Angola

Document for use in Angola first needs to be legalised by way of FCDO Apostille and then submitted to the Consulate of Angola for further attestation.

FEES

The consular fee is £200 per document for the standard service or £365 per document for the express service.

PROCESSING TIME

The consular processing time is likely to be 10-12 working days for standard service and 5-6 working days for express service.

IMPORTANT NOTES

The documents must be translated into Portuguese and the Portuguese version must be first in the bundle followed by the English version in the subsequent pages. The translation of UK documents, including the notarial certificate, must be performed by a qualified translator in the UK confirming accuracy of the translation presented. The FCDO Apostille should be affixed to the Portuguese version notarial certificate.

Documents in dual language English-Portuguese still need to be proofread by a qualified translator attesting to the accuracy of the Portuguese translation. The notarised English version must be bundled together with the translator’s certified translation.

For the legalisation of private documents, the Consulate requires the applicant’s copy of passport, residential address, contact number, email address and parents’ names.

For the legalisation of commercial documents, the Consulate requires the director’s passport copy, company registered address, contact number, email address and may request additional supporting documentation.

For documents relating to foreign companies, the Certificate of Incorporation must be certified by the respective diplomatic body of the country of origin of the document and must be translated into Portuguese. Additional supporting documentation such as Memorandum & Articles of Association may be required upon submission to the Consulate. In this case translation in English only should suffice.

Photocopy of the document to be legalised is required by the Consulate.

Method of payment: card or bank transfer only.

Opening hours: 9:30 am – 11:30 am Monday to Thursday for submission and Friday afternoon for collections.
