GOV.UK - PROFESSIONAL SERVICES IF YOU ARE ABROAD


 

Professional services if you are abroad

Find English-speaking lawyers, doctors and medical facilities, interpreters and translators, and funeral directors overseas.

You can find providers by:

  • country, or a more specific location
  • the type of services they offer 

Most providers on the lists have confirmed that they offer services in English. The FCDO reviews providers annually to ensure their information is as up-to-date as possible.

About this information

This information is impartial, and none of these service providers are recommended by the FCDO. You should do you own research before deciding which provider to use. Before you contact a provider independently, you should also check if any insurance policies will pay for the service you need.

Lawyers

Find a lawyer abroad with a particular area of legal expertise. 

Notaries

Find a notary abroad to get a document notarised (authenticated) for use in a country or territory outside the UK.

Doctors and medical facilities

Find a doctor, medical practitioner or facility abroad to access healthcare.

Interpreters and translators

Find a local translator or interpreter abroad for language services to and from English. 

Funeral directors

Find a funeral director abroad for local funeral services or international repatriation (the process of bringing the body home) to the UK.
