Please note that the affidavit/affirmation cannot be signed by the notary public of Belarus.
If the affidavit/affirmation is issued by the British Embassy/Consulate in any other country apart from Belarus then the procedure should be the following: The British Embassy/Consulate issues the affidavit/affirmation. Then the British Consular Officer’s signature should be certified by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the country it has been issued in and then by the Belarusian Embassy/Consulate in this country.
The affidavit/affirmation can be received in the UK and signed by the UK notary public. Then you should receive an Apostille for this document in the UK to be recognised in Belarus.
