Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
An Apostille is an official certificate issued by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) that authenticates the origin of a public document. It is recognised in all 120+ countries that have signed the Hague Convention of 1961, removing the need for embassy legalisation.
Standard service: 5–10 working days from receipt of your document. Express service: 2–3 working days. Same-day service is available for urgent cases (document must reach us before 10am). These timescales are subject to FCDO processing times.
Yes — the FCDO only apostilles original documents. Please send by tracked Royal Mail Special Delivery to protect your document. We handle it with full care and return it to you by tracked post.
The UK Apostille is accepted in all 120+ countries that are signatories to the Hague Convention (1961). This includes the USA, most EU countries, Australia, Canada, UAE, Nigeria, India, and many more. For countries not in the Hague Convention, embassy legalisation may be required — contact us for advice.
Yes. If your foreign-language document was issued in the UK (e.g. a translated birth certificate), we can apostille it. If the receiving country requires a certified translation, we can also arrange this as an add-on service.
Notarisation is the process of a solicitor or notary public certifying a document. For some documents (e.g. private documents, copies), notarisation must happen before the FCDO can attach an Apostille. Our Solicitor Certification + Apostille service covers both steps.
After you submit your order, we'll email you a secure payment link (card, bank transfer, or PayPal). Payment is required before we submit to the FCDO.
Yes, all fees are per document. If you have multiple documents, you may order them together and we'll handle them in a single batch — saving you postage. A small discount may apply for 3+ documents; contact us to discuss.
