<\/span>What does Apostille represent and why is it required.<\/span><\/h1>\n

An Apostille is a document that is issued by a government agency that can be used to confirm the authenticity of documents being presented in another country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Usually, the document is issued by the state that originated the original document. In some cases, another state can also issue the same document. Once a document has an Apostille, it can be presented to any country that accepts the legitimacy of the signature and seals.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Legalization Office will check the authenticity of the document by examining its signature, seals, and stamps. It can then legalise it by attaching an official certificate <\/span>(an \u2018apostille\u2019) to it<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>To use the service you\u2019ll need:<\/span><\/h2>\n
    \n
  • the documents you want to legalise<\/li>\n
  • a credit or debit card for payment<\/li>\n
  • the address you want your documents returned to<\/li>\n
  • Payment of fee \u00a330 or a greater amount if the same day service is desired.<\/li>\n
  • (Legal cost).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Although the UK’s apostille certificates are accepted in most countries, some require further legalization. For instance, if a document is presented in a country that is not part of the Hague Convention, it may require further legalization.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This usually involves attaching an apostille to the document and then legalizing it through the embassy of the country where it was issued.<\/span><\/p>\n

    This can be very time-consuming and involve various procedures and costs. It’s also important to talk to the person or authority who will be accepting the document to get their exact requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n

    You can use our services for the legalisation of the documents by selecting the miscellaneous option on the booking page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
