Complete Apostille Service
Which apostille service do you need?
Apostille Only
Your documents are signed or stamped by a recognised authority. See the lists below.
Apostille with Solicitor Certification
For documents that not signed or stamped, our solicitor can certify your document. See the lists below.
Documents must be signed or sealed by an authority.
To issue an apostille a document must be correctly signed, stamped or sealed. Government documents bear the signature or stamp of the relevant office. Other public officials can sign documents including notaries, solicitors, police officers, doctors and vets.
Many documents also need to be signed by our solicitor before the apostille is attached. We include this within our service to save you time and money.
The Hague Apostille service will get your apostille in the quickest time possible. If your document does not have the correct signature or stamp we will provide advice on how to resolve this.

Business Documents
If you have a degree certificate and transcript, producing a bound set of documents will save you money. The same applies if you have several academic documents in one persons name.
Company documents are frequently legalised as one set. We can download company documents from Companies House and produce one set of documents under one apostille.
Bound sets are accepted in many countries. However, we recommend that you check this will be suitable for your circumstances. We cannot guarantee sets of documents are suitable for all purposes.
Government issued documents should not be bound as a set. This includes birth, marriage and death certificates, criminal record checks, court papers and many of the document listed under our ‘apostille only’ standard service.
Do you need embassy attestation?
Check the list of countries below to see if you need embassy attestation after the apositlle.
Any document being submitted to a fellow member of the Hague Convention should only need the apostille certificate.
Any country that has not signed the Hague Convention section relating to apostille legalisation may also request that your document is attested by the embassy.
We can legalise many documents with the embassies in London to save you time and money.

Some countries are not members of the ‘Hague Convention’. This means that as well as the Apostille stamp being required for your documents, further embassy attestation stamps are also necessary to satisfy the requirements of the overseas authorities. If your documents are for use in a Country that are not included within the Hague Member list then they will also require embassy stamps. As well as providing the Apostille service, we also deal with many of the necessary embassies across the UK that are not members of the Hague Convention and can have the relevant stamps issued for you.
While the apostille itself doesn’t expire, the document it authenticates may not be accepted if considered “old” by the receiving country (e.g. Criminal record background checks). Some countries may request the apostille has been issued recently (e.g. China ask for 90 days). Check with the respective authority to see if there’s a time limit.
If the country you need to use the document in isn’t a member, you might need a different kind of authentication known as embassy or consular legalisation.
In some cases we can arrange for a UK apostille to be issued but it will depend on your document. If you have any doubts we recommend that you speak to your country’s embassy or consulate for more advice.
It is important that you understand we issue UK apostilles on UK documents. If you send us a non UK document and we are able to process your document it will be issued with a UK apostille. You should check if this is suitable in the country where your document is to be presented.
Nearly all UK documents can be issued with the apostille certificate. There are a few exceptions that include home office documents that are for use within the UK only. We will let you know immediately if your document cannot be legalised and provide a full refund for our service.
We do not issue apostilles on ‘purchased online’ degrees or false documents. We are a reputable legalisation service. We are pleased to issue the apostille on genuine qualifications but we do not support any individual or online retailer deliberately trying to mislead prospective employers. Sorry, but we have a reputation to maintain.
We do not add the apostille to company documents that ‘claim’ to offer degree level education.
If you have a document that was issued in a country that is a member of The Hague Convention and it is being presented in another country that is a member of The Hague Convention, then it is likely that you will need an apostille. If you have been asked to get an apostille then your document may not be accepted without one. You can find a list of Hague Countries that issues and request apostilles on our website.
