Why Apostille Documents for the Philippines
If you need to use a UK document in the Philippines for marriage to a Filipino national, residency, family-law matters or property and probate dealings, it will need an Apostille certificate. Certificates of no impediment, UK birth certificates, Powers of Attorney and ACRO police certificates are the most commonly apostilled UK documents for Philippine use.
The Philippines is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, with the Convention having entered into force in 2019. Once your UK document has been apostilled by the FCDO, no further attestation at the Philippine Embassy in London is needed for the document to be accepted by Philippine authorities.
