Legalisation with apostille

Before you can submit a UK issued document to a foreign institution, it must first be authenticated. It is called legalisation or apostille. It’s a certificate of authenticity added to the documents so they could be accepted in countries that are members of the Hague Convention. It is usually requested by the governments of foreign countries to acertain the validity of documents. We have many years of experience in the legalisation of documents and we are able to relieve you of all the responsibility and trouble associated with this. Upon receiving these documents we will prepare them for the process of legalisation and will ensure their safe delivery and return to you.

Legalisation/apostille of documents:
Standard

State office issued or certified documents

Oficial state office documents and certificates by other recognized bodies can be issued with an apostille without additional authentication. They should bear a seal from the state officer or their signature.

Companies

Company or business documents.

Before an apostille is added, most company documents would have to be authenticated by an attorney. We will make sure your document is authenticated and certified by one of our attorneys and then we will attach the apostille. Our service ensures all of this will be provided.

Personal

Education certificates and personal identity documents.

After being authenticated, most documents must be certified by an attorney. These include: education certificates, awards, personal documents, passports and driver’s licenses. These documents will be for an additional payment, because the attorney must authenticate the validity of the documents and prepare a certified cover page.

Case documents.

Legally valid document binding.

If a larger number of documents is linked to a particular person or company, it might be appropriate to bind them into one file. If there are more than two documents it could significantly decrease your legal costs. (Please note, not all documents can be joined into one file.)

Our individual service of an apostille without an additional signature can be used in the certification of the following documents:

  • a birth certificate,
  • a certificate of civil partnership,
  • a marriage certificate,
  • a certificate of no impediment,
  • a criminal record certificate (ACRO/NPCC),
  • a death certificate,
  • a divorce certificate (Decree Absolute) with the original stamp,
  • a declaration of residence certicate (issued by HMRC),
  • other documents, court documents with the original seal, signed by the UK government officer.
