of Your UK Documents
For documents notarised in England & Wales to be recognised overseas, additional authentication steps may be required. This process, known as legalisation or obtaining an apostille, confirms the notary’s signature and seal for acceptance in another country.
Apostille from the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office
Many countries require that UK documents be authenticated by the FCDO. This authentication is known as an apostille and is an essential step to ensure that your notarised documents are valid abroad. We can arrange this process quickly and efficiently on your behalf.
