Important: Single-Step Route Applies
Your British papers need only a basic certification stamp to work in Bolivia, not the full consular route. The legalize documents for Bolivia step stops at just one office. The FCDO Legalisation Office at PO Box 6255, Milton Keynes MK10 1XX issues a stamp that Bolivia's authorities recognise as valid proof.
The Direct Path Through Liverpool
Liverpool Register Office at St George's Hall can supply fresh certified copies of local marriage, birth or death entries. Ordering a new official copy keeps your original safe at home while the copy goes for the document legalization for Bolivia stamp. The FCDO then checks the signature and applies its own seal.
Clear Timelines for Certification
