An Apostille Certificate is only ever required if you need to present a document outside of the UK. Apostilles are required for work, business, legal issues and personal matters. The most common requirements for an Apostille Certificate are overseas marriage, registering births, working or teaching abroad, foreign property purchases and business transactions or contracts.
To put it simply, an Apostille is a stamp, recognised in all countries which have signed the Hague Convention, which confirms that the signatures, stamps, etc on the document issued by the UK authorities is genuine.
It typically only takes only 2 working days to arrange for the UK Apostille Certificate to be attached to your document. There are often several ways to legalise a document but often only one will be accepted by the country the document is intended for. We pride ourselves on offering an expert service ensuring your document is legalised in the appropriate way.
We are able to provide Apostilles for virtually all UK documents and certificates.
