Unfortunately, we are unable to conduct a general search of our indexes, as manual searches are time-consuming, and due to the number of applications received, the minimum amount of information we require, is the year and the quarter in which a particular event was registered.

Births: if you know either of the parents' names or mothers maiden name.

Deaths: if you know the deceased's occupation; age at death, area (England) where they lived or husband's or wife's name (as one of these may have been the informant).

Marriages: it would be helpful to have both parties' names, if this information is not available, then their occupation; father's name or area (England) that they lived in, prior to the marriage taking place.

UK Official Records provides an apostille service to assist you in acquiring official UK Apostille Certificates for UK documents. The Apostille Certificate is normally requested by foreign authorities and organisations so that the document can be used for official purposes outside of the UK. It is also referred to as legalisation. This means that the documents have to be legalised correctly before you travel and often within a specific time period.

Require an Apostille (Legalised) UK Certificate? An Apostille is a certificate confirming that a signature or a seal on a certificate is genuine. The process of obtaining an Apostille is called Legalisation. Legalisation is usually required by foreign authorities before they will allow a UK document to be used for official purposes in their country. Apostille Certificates issued in the UK will be accepted in the following countries without further legalisation.
