APOSTILLE FOR MEDICALS
Legalising UK medical certificates for visa applications
As part of your Spanish Visa Application you will likely be asked to obtain and legalise a medical certificate. This can be obtained privately or via your local GP.
Get a fast medical certificate
When applying for a visa you will be provided with an appointment at the consulate. Obtaining a medical from your GP can take several weeks. Verifying a doctor’s signature can take even longer.
The quick solution many customers choose is to obtain a medical certificate from a private service.

Local GP Medical Service
The alternative option, if you have time, is to go through your local GP. You will need to ask them to issue a medical certificate and give them the correct format document. This may be a slow process as it takes time for the GP to issue the certificate and then very few local GP’s are registered to the apostille database so they have to be added. The process of adding a signature takes at least 5 working days after the document is first submitted for the apostille. Not all GP’s agree to being added to the database or are slow to provide the requested registration information. This can often cause delays with the apostille process. Only use this option if you have time.
Medical certificates are the most commonly rejected documents we deal with, as very few local GP’s are registered at the FCDO. If you are in a rush, we strongly recommend you use the above private option to obtain a quick medical certificate.
