Embassy legalisation for use in Indonesia
This service does not apply to Indonesia. A single British certification finishes a document leaving Derby, and no mission stands behind that desk waiting to add a further mark. Anyone preparing for document legalization for Indonesia as a run of consular counters is preparing for a journey this destination does not ask them to make.
Indonesia consular requirements
No embassy or consulate takes part, so no consular file is ever opened in your name and no paper of yours sits abroad at any point. That absence has a practical shape. On a longer route a document spends days somewhere you cannot see into, and the honest answer to where is it now is a shrug. Here the answer is always one of three places.
The Derby → Indonesia route step by step
Start at the counter that holds the record. Derby Register Office issues a fresh certified copy of a birth, marriage or death entry from Riverside Chambers, Full Street, Derby DE1 3AF, so the sheet in your drawer never goes near a postbag. A paper of another kind comes from whichever body keeps that record instead.
The Legalisation Office (FCDO) then vouches for the signature on that copy, working by post and keeping no counter for callers. The document goes out in an envelope and comes back in one. Nothing follows its return, which is why the route is worth drawing as a straight line rather than a loop.
Cost & timing for this route
An official fee applies to each document the desk handles. Standard work is quoted at 7–10 business days and the express lane at 2–3, and both figures describe time spent on the paper rather than time spent in the post. Put a few days on each end and the sum holds, because nothing downstream can stretch it later.
Destination-specific requirements
What would change this is a change in what Indonesia itself accepts, and that is a matter of national practice rather than a call made on your file. Until then the shape stays fixed: one desk, two lanes, two envelopes and a finished sheet at the end. Plan around the lane you pick and the paper that comes home is done.
