  • Replacement apostille certificate
Apostilles are required where an overseas authority needs to validate the authenticity of a certificate as having been legally produced in the UK.

The Apostille includes a raised seal from their office. The Apostille is also serial numbered which can be used to validate the Apostille's authenticity. We will arrange for your certificate to be legalised and it will then be returned to you.

Typically the Apostille Certificate is issued by the state from which the document originates although in some cases another state can issue the Apostille. Once a document has had an Apostille Certificate attached to it confirming the authenticity of signatures and seals it can be presented to any country which recognises the Apostille. The authority receiving the document should then accept the seals or signatures as true and valid without requesting further evidence or proof.

An Apostille certificate can be obtained for any UK public document. The following list is by no means exhaustive, we have simply selected the most popular documents we receive. Please feel free to contact us to check if the document you want to use overseas can be issued an Apostille certificate.
