Apostilles for Working Abroad
When UK citizens wish to work outside of the UK they may need to provide an apostille on several documents. This may include;
Academic Qualifications – To prove you are qualified in a specific subject or have achieved a sufficient level of study.
Criminal Records Bureau Checks – To prove you have no criminal history or that any history that you may have, falls within their suitability requirements.
Criminal Record Checks are provided by agencies in many formats-
- Basic Disclosures
- Enhanced Disclosures
- Disclosure Scotland
- ACPO or ACRO Certificates
- NPCC Certificates
- CRB Checks
- Subject Access Reports
- Police letters
Copies of Passports – For identification or as proof of age
Birth Certificates – For identification or as proof of age
To order your apostilles for working abroad please order online and post your documents to us. We will issue the apostille and dispatch your documents to you in around 1-2 working days. Our service includes all Government fees and solicitor charges where necessary.
Note: Criminal Record documents have the apostille issued directly on the original document as we cannot certify copies. You may find that your document has to be issued within the last 6 months to be valid.
As global employment increases, it is becoming increasing popular for organisations to request apostille certificates before employment can commence. Many companies now include meeting immigration and employment regulations within contracts of employment. If you are unsure whether the apostille will be required you should contact your future employer.
