Legalisation & Apostille

Many countries require documents to be authenticated before they can be accepted overseas. This may involve notarisation, an Apostille certificate, or further embassy legalisation.

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille is a certificate issued by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in the UK to confirm the authenticity of a document so that it may be recognised in another country.

What is Legalisation?

Certain countries require additional verification beyond an Apostille. This process may include embassy or consular legalisation.
