Ethiopia Attestation in the UK — What It Is & Why It Matters
Ethiopia Attestation UK is the official process of verifying UK-issued documents so they are legally recognised by authorities in Ethiopia. As Ethiopia is not a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, documents require full legalisation, including verification by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) and attestation at the Ethiopian Embassy in London.
For Ethiopians living in the UK—and UK residents dealing with Ethiopian institutions—this process is mandatory for employment, education, family matters, and commercial activities. Errors, missing steps, or incorrect sequencing often lead to rejection. Leadforce eliminates these risks by managing the process correctly from start to finish.

Ethiopia Attestation Process in the UK — Step-by-Step Timeline
Step 1: Document Review & Pre-Check
We carefully review your documents to confirm eligibility, format, and embassy requirements. This early verification helps identify any issues before submission and prevents unnecessary delays or rejections later in the process.
Step 2: UK Notarisation (Where Required)
Where applicable, your documents are notarised by a UK-registered notary public. This step certifies the authenticity of the document and ensures it meets the standards required for FCDO and embassy legalisation.
Step 3: FCDO Legalisation
Your documents are submitted to the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) for official legalisation. This confirms the validity of the issuing authority and is a mandatory step for documents intended for use in Ethiopia.
Step 4: Ethiopian Embassy Attestation (London)
Following FCDO legalisation, documents are attested at the Ethiopian Embassy in London. This final endorsement makes your documents legally acceptable for official use in Ethiopia.
Final Verification & Secure Document Delivery
Once embassy attestation is complete, your documents undergo a final quality and compliance check to ensure all stamps, seals, and endorsements are correctly applied. After verification, the fully attested documents are securely returned to you via tracked delivery or made available for collection, depending on your preference.
Your documents are now fully legalised and ready for use in Ethiopia, with complete confidence that they meet all UK and Ethiopian regulatory requirements.
