Legalisation requirements for Seychelles
Documents pertaining to land to be used in Seychelles do not need to be legalised if they are signed/authenticated by a UK notary public (s. 60(2)(a) of the Seychelles Land Registration Act 1967 (as amended)).
Other types of documents should be legalised by way of FCDO Apostille (s. 28 of the Seychelles Evidence Act 1882 (as amended)).
