An apostille is the official Hague-Convention authentication required for documents used abroad. We supply apostille legalisation on certified translations and original UK documents for use in any of the 120+ Hague Convention countries. Choose electronic delivery from £149.95 or hard copy by post from £199.95.
An apostille is a standardised certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention Abolishing the Requirement of Legalisation for Foreign Public Documents. It confirms the authenticity of a signature, the capacity in which the person signing the document acted, and the seal or stamp it bears.
Once a document carries an apostille, it is accepted as authentic in any of the 120+ Hague Convention countries without further legalisation. The apostille is internationally recognised across embassies, courts, universities, immigration authorities, and government bodies.
When you need an apostille: using a UK certificate or translation abroad for spouse visas, foreign-property purchase, international school enrolment, foreign business filings, overseas marriage, dual citizenship, or any time a foreign authority asks for a “legalised” or “apostilled” document.
Whether you choose e-apostille or hard copy, the workflow is the same. Upload, pay, receive.
Most documents going abroad need both a certified translation into the destination language and an apostille. We bundle both in a single order so you only deal with one provider.
