UK Apostille Services

If you need to present a UK-Issued document to an overseas authority, it will need to be authenticated first. This is known as an Apostille Stamp. For Apostille services please select your requirements below.

What is an Apostille?

An Apostille stamp is a form of authentication added to documents to allow them to be used in member countries of the Hague Convention, and are usually requested by foreign governments to assert that a document is genuine. It is sometimes known as an FCDO Apostille, as the FCDO (Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office) is the governmental body that issues them within the UK. We can get Apostilles applied for you through our legalisation offices in West Yorkshire and London.

Once an Apostille stamp is added to a document, it becomes valid for use in any country that is a member of the Hague Convention.
